The North Pole
Far beyond the High Ice and the Great Glacier, one might find their way wandering into a wondrous place of the Faerie. In the farthest reaches past the dark icy regions of Toril, if you wander long enough, you will find the North Pole. The North Pole is not a place on Toril, it is the Realm of Nicholas the Gift Giver, Father Yule, Santa Claus, far to the north in the Plane of Faerie. Here wondrous sights can be seen. Evergreen trees bloom bright, colorful Silver and gold ornaments and garlands weave through the trees put there by the northern fey. Magically, brightly colored packages full of yuletide wishes magically appear underneath the Evergreens.
Snowmen, Fey creatures that can only exist at the North Pole move throughout the snow laden groves along with the animals common to northern realms.
Ecosystem
The North Pole is a Frozen Land, but still a kind land. Though it seems icy and barren, there are food sources generated through the magic of the land. Most creatures find the food plentiful.
The Flora and Fauna is common to those found in Subarctic and Arctic climes.
Climate
The Flora and Fauna is common to those found in Subarctic and Arctic climes except there is a palpable magic to the environment. Snow is common though blizzard conditions are rare. The rivers and lakes of the North Pole are packed with ice floes which can be as treacherous as those on Toril.
The North Pole is a wondrous place of sparkling glaciers, crystal waters, and ice caverns, yet even through this, evergreen trees dot the landscape and will eventually concentrate into forests, where most of the animals make their home.
Characters travelling in the North Pole must take precautions against ice and cold or suffer the effects even though the Fey North Pole is much more forgiving
Fauna & Flora
The Plant life in the North Pole is strictly Evergreen trees like Fir, Pines, Larch, and Holly. Several Coniferous Treants guard all the trees.
The animals of the north pole are all natural Awakened creatures. The animals would be familiar to any traveler from the Prime.
Natives to the North Pole include the Gnomes that work for Father Yuletide, as well as Nymphs, Dryads, Hamadryads, Pixies, Nixies, and Satyrs. As with most of Fey, settlements of Elves also make their home here.
