The Frosted Basin is a wide northern region of forested highlands, river valleys, and cold inland waters where many settlements cling to navigable routes and sheltered ground. Ursapian clan life dominates the older districts, but merchants, settlers, and outlying kin groups have made the basin a patchwork of customs and obligations. Summer brings feverish work and full granaries, while winter turns every road, hearth, and treaty into a test of survival.
