=Thalweg - The North=
The icy region to the north of the sea is dominated by two distinct cultures stemming from the same race. 
The coastal dwelling  <> make their homes amongst the rocky islands of the south, the craggy cliffs of the mainland and it’s narrow fjords. The <> are separated in to family/house groups who take their names and sigils from the creatures of the region (bear/narwhal/walrus). The families tend to make large longhall/strongholds their homes where they live as single family units and support their clan through fishing, raiding, and where the scant country allows, agriculture. 
The neighbours to the north make their existence on the icy tundra. To keep pace with the changing seasons and landscapes that follow them, these people are semi-nomadic. Their ability to <walk with the seasons> allows them to pursue the most generous bounty of the land as the season changes. Many have semi-permanent dwellings <subterranean?> in the vales or in the heartland that they retreat to in the dead of winter.
Some peoples – indeed of both ilk, have sought out a better life in the fiercely contested heartland. This area is dominated by a network of rivers and valleys which result in a relatively fertile area. Dwellers of the heartland tend to agglomerate their houses into townships or cities where house patriarchal rule is replaced by kingship or council decree. This affords them the extra protection required to weather out the fighting that comes from being in a fixed location, vying for the best land.
The narrow peninsula <> that joins the North to the main continent to the east <> is a strongpoint.
