REGION OVERVIEW
Mt. Mavak is a snowy region in the north. The terrain of Mt. Mavak is the harshest in all of Vathria. The Human kingdom of Mt. Mavak is traditionally governed by House Isdottir, though recent events have forced the young ruler, Glacia Isdottir , out of the region. The Orcs also reside in this region.
GEOGRAPHY
The lands of Mt. Mavak are covered in mountainous tundra. It is a harsh region that is mainly impassable in the winter due to great snowfall. In warmer months the snow thaws to allow the land to open up. Mt. Mavak features the tallest mountains in Vathria, though no Human has ever managed to reach the highest peak. Native vegetation is composed of dwarf shrubs, grasses, mosses, and lichens. However, the advances in ice magic research at Frostfort Academy resulted in agriculture that otherwise should have been impossible. Large forests were grown for their timber and farms that succeeded in the harsh lands. The people of Mt. Mavak worked hard at becoming self-sustaining, so as not to need the assistance of neighboring nations.
DEMOGRAPHIC
The Humans of Mt. Mavak are referred to as Mavians. Across the Tundra there are small pockets of Orc tribes who relocated to the region following the end of the conflicts with the Dwarves.
RULING
Since the Human pilgrims made new lives for themselves in the north, they have generally been ruled over by the dominant House or family. The longest ruling House was Isdottir, which governed over the land for centuries. An ancient family line in the region of Mt. Mavak, they came to the cold northern lands and dominated the other houses through brutality and bloodshed. Since then, the Isdottir family have gone to extreme lengths to cultivate the nation up despite the difficulties of the region. They founded the great city of Horizon and formed a great military which has become a source of concern for the Sentinel armed forces of Sovereign Shores. In recent years, Glacia Isdottir was named the head of the family following a series of accidents and assassinations. She was imprisoned on charges of smuggling illegal arc weapons and the remaining members of House Isdottir were slaughtered. Lord Daeros of House Vikoya has assumed control of the nation with backing from House Falke, the rulers of Frostfort academy.

MAIN BELIEFS
While the Mavians generally do hold religious beliefs, religious groups and gatherings can still be found. The God Leitos is believed to have created the mountainous region of the north, though the Humans of Mt. Mavak do not worship Leitos with reverence. However, in winter, prayers will be made to Leitos asking him to protect the people until warmer days return. The first Humans to arrive in the region brought with them beliefs Oriani, though little of that belief remains in the current age.
ACTIVE FACTIONS
CLIMATE
Snowfall is more frequent in this land than in any other region in Vathria. The temperature drops far below freezing in the colder months, forcing inhabitants of the region to don overly thick layers to avoid hypothermia. Mages from the region are noted to have mastered the elements and are often seen wearing far more revealing clothing than others could. A years' worth of snow for the Sovereign Shore could fall overnight in Mt. Mavak and as such, an advanced avalanche warning system has been in place for centuries to warn people when disasters strike.
