Heidrun

Landmarks
The varied terrain of Heidrun is covered by both luscious forest, cold mountains like Sugar Mountain and the endless desert Sikkum, all of which skilled travellers use to navigate the continent. Other natural landmarks include the river Gelmir, the crater without a bottom Delrim, known by locals as the end of the world, and the tree that holds up the skies Landri.

The rings
Heidrun is mostly covered by the great desert Sikkum, but it's coasts are covered in great plains and greater forests, and if looked at from above, the biomes of this great continent form crude rings.

Starting from the coast, the first ring consists of open plains and light forest, this is were all capitals and by far the most of the population in situated.

In the second ring luscious thick forests are found, it is said that all trees in this ring are sprouted from the roots of Landri, which pass under the whole continent, but only sprout where the great tree sees the land worthy.

The third ring is also known as Sikkum, an expansive desert covering the larger part of Heidrun where very little life is found. Very few travellers dare pass through this treacherous landscape, but those who do travel along the river Gelmir, but even this path claims more lives than it spares, as it passes Sugar Mountain.

Consisting of just one mountain, even though it is daunting from the ground below it, the fourth ring only contains Sugar Mountain, the huge icy mountain almost perfectly in the center of the continent, and is by far the most dangerous ring. Very few ever return from attempting to cross it, and instead most decide instead to travel around it.

 

History
 

Holywood
The last of the four Quarters, Holywood is an incredibly religious place. Founded around the Holey Tree, a tree with a bunch of natural holes in it, but named after the forest around the tree, all residents of the small nation travel to the Holey Tree each Sunday, where they pray for hours on end. Holywood was a very peaceful nation, not bothering anyone who didn't bother them, but when an outsider got too close to the Holey Tree, the normally peaceful residents would quickly turn aggressive and rude, even hissing at them and throwing stones and they alike.

During the era of King Nothing, Holywood was arguably hit the hardest, they entire holy forest, including the Holey Tree, was chopped down and burnt for fuel in Preace, causing the normally peaceful folk to become the aggressors, originally wanting to occupy a new forest, but being denied the forest in the second ring by the elves and treants, they instead turned to their neighbouring residents. Going to war, and having found an unknown power in their blood, things looked grim for both Fánes and Tromby.
