Sparwood

Sparwood is a continent located in the most eastern reaches of Rathnir and is among Rathnir's most diverse and culturally expansive regions. Known for its frosty climate and freezing cold weather, it contains the only two ice mega-biomes in all of Rathnir. The mountains which rise from its plains tower over the many cities and settlements located down below, casting a shadow over the lowlands below. Glacial meltwater from the ice fields and mountains led to the slow formation of a marshy swampland below known as Vindivegg, after a small nation which once ruled over that region.

Sparwood is also known for its anomalous diversity of biomes also including warmer biomes such as taigas, savannas and deserts primarily in the Southern Peninsula of Sparwood (also known as Sparwood Minor). Sparwood's expansive history reaches back to before the fall of the ancient continent of Jagdas and includes many historically important events which were vital in the set up of the political landscape of Rathnir as a continent.
