Winter
Winter in the Northern Shores is very harsh and any Northlander who lived in the Northern shores for a few years will share memories of this time. The sun will go down and the long polar night begins, which means, the sun is not going to rise against for several month. This is combined with severly cold temperaters, snow and ice fall. Most live just ceases except for minimal activity, because going outside is just that bad.
In the medieval times, this time of the year was of particular danger, because during this time, creatures influenced by the blue dimension would be particularly active and hunt humans, who were very much outclassed in the dark, unless properly equipped. In the medieval times, almost every northlander would have a story to tell of dealing with these creatures.
