Gerudia is the northernmost region of Cannor and is rumoured to extend far beyond habitation to frozen wastes deadly in hours.
The region is separated by the Giant's Grave Sea, with the two halves being quite different from one another. The northern Dalr and Gerudian Coast areas are frozen for large parts of the year, and though populations exist here they are smaller than they might be due to most being forced to endure arctic temperatures in which others would simply not survive. This has created the distinct Gerudian culture group and the Skaldhyrric Faith religious belief system unique to the area, though trading, friendship, and even alliances between the peoples of north and south Gerudia are not unknown.
The south-east fringes of the Gerudian Coast region contains the only known Gray Orcs in Cannor who follow the Old Dookan faith unlike their green cousins.
The southern Alenic Reach is very similar to the Alenic Frontier as the Alenic culture and Regent Court religion spread across both regions, and the climate is far kinder than it is north of the Giant's Grave.
The main culture groups in the region are Human Alenic in the south and Gerudian in the north, with Escanni having a small presence in the east of the Alenic Reach. Beyond the Titan's Rest mountain-range a disunited Forest Trolls population live free of human interference, while organized Fjord Trolls live in the far northwest of Dalr around the Fjords Bay.
The most powerful factions in the region are the Kingdom of Bjarnik in Dalr, who rule over Sidaett and Revrhavn, and Celmaldor in the Alenic Reach who rule over Serpentgard and lead a trade league comprising the entire region save the White Reachman Esald and Cedevik.
Etymology[]
Gerudia is said to be named after the true giant, the Frost King Gerud who ruled the Realm of the Ice Giants in Gerudian myth.
