Journeys to the Pentar Federation are not recommended!

Nation: Northern Wastes
Capital City: N/A-Mount Azubah
Form of Government: N/A
Geography: Permanent ice cover, with a single large, barren mountain somewhere near the north pole.
Paragraph: The northern wastes can be a beautiful but dangerous land. It is believed that the Wardens of Light devised a way to emulate the unique "burn-out" from Earth. As such, the further inland a mystically-based entity journeys, the weaker they become until they enter a region devoid of any magic, and unable to support any. Eventually they would die. In the middle of this dead continent is Mount Azubah, the gateway to the Shadowlands. Attempts to visit or reach the mountain are strictly prohibited.
REPEAT: Mount Azubah is FORBIDDEN!

There are numerous small islands throughout Nemedia's two large oceans. However, due to size they do not possess portals, and many of them may be uninhabited. Feel free to take the time to explore them, as well as the many wonders of Nemedia!
