THE FAR NORTH LANDS The Far North Lands are a group of four kingdoms just above Bracken. The kingdoms each have their own rulers. King Lars and Queen Sigrid have been in power the longest. Their people are great sea voyagers. King Albin's kingdom is the most remote. His people enjoy playing outdoor sports in the cold weather.

The lands of Princess Linnea and Queen Eva have slightly longer summers than the others. Delicious vegetables and beautiful flowers grow here. In much of these lands, winter lasts for six months out of the year. The people there have learned to live with ice and snow. They spend most of their time outdoors. They even invented a sport that involves pushing a stone across an icy pond with sticks.
