[QUOTE="Shades of Green, post: 5088095, member: 3297"] I think I'll go for a largish island (240 by 180 miles in size) which I'll tentatively call Zagadur. The southern and south-eastern parts of Zagadur Isle will have plains and rolling hills, lightly forested in some places and generally arable; some swamps will exist as well. These sides of the island will be warmed by ocean currents coming from the south, making their climate bearable in the summer (the winter will still be heavily snowy and quite cold). Most civilized habitation of the island will be in these parts, though even they will be quite wild, with danger lurking between the isolated pockets of civilization. In the middle of Zagadur Isle will be mountains, and on their top a relatively flat plateau, which will be permanently frozen. A lost city from the Age of Blossom will sit in the middle of the plateau; an old white dragon will also lair in the plateau. In the north of the island, which will not be warmed by the ocean currents, will be dense taiga, the dwelling-place of various horrible beasts of the frozen north, such as mammoths, woolly rhinos, saber-tooth cats and maybe even dragons. The only inhabitants of this cold region will be nomads riding domesticated mammoths, as well as snow-orcs. The western and north-eastern coastal areas will be quite thin, with only a few miles between the sea and the mountains. These areas will have rugged terrain and will be generally non-inhabitable; some wildlife will still exist there, as well as (possibly) humanoids. [/QUOTE]
