Northern Hemisphere
From Ekkhiadwiki
The Northern Hemisphere is a sparsely populated superregion, with most of its population being nomads. The only organized government in the Northern Hemisphere is that of the Kingdom of Inkpar. Because of its climate, it is also sparsely inhabited by plants and animals.

Inkpar
Inkpar is the region between the edge of the equatorial region and the edge of the Far North. The Kingdom of Inkpar is a small nation with a sparse population who are mostly nomads. 98% of the stationary population of Inkpar live in the kindom's capital, Sarsac, and its surrounding villages. The economy of Inkpar is mostly based on their rich gold mines near Sarsac.
Far North
The Far North is the region 500 miles from the Ekkhian equator. Because of many natural barriers such as mountains and glaciers, no one has ventured out there and returned alive. There is almost nothing known about the region. Folklore say that it is the land of the monsters, where colossal ice beasts roam. People who have ventured near the edge of the Far North have reportedly seen constant flashes of lightning in the misty stretch of the land. Also, mystics and wizards who tried to enter the strange region claim that there is no magic as soon as you reach a certain border, as they say that their magic discontinues from working at that point.
Climate
There is a very abrupt change in climate between the Equatorial region and the Northern Hemisphere regions. It is very cold, but moderately humid. Fog rolls in from the Idesmor Ocean and the Sea of Haznaf all year round. The humidity allows the survival of the areas of grassland that dots the otherwise desolate land. It only rains for several days during the winter, and the rest of the time there is occasional hail and snow. The sun is only visible through the layers of fog and clouds at high winds during the summer.
Fauna
Most commonly found in the icy plains of Inkpar are yaks, pigwhales in the Sea of Haznaf, and Oehpen mountain goats in both fields and mountain tops.
