An island nation not unlike that of ancient Ireland, the mini continent of Hibernia is located to the far north of even the North blue, where massive conifers cover the landscape and small coastal villages scrape together livings by fishing and hunting the massive natural fauna that stalk the forests. Some of the larger and more successful villages are those made up of several clans who have signed peace pacts in order to end wars or territory disputes, although many villages still use ceremonial warfare to settle such things.

Venturing north into the vast, black woods is dangerous business. Only a few warlike clans are located even a few miles inland, and they are constantly beset by massive wolves, bears, and other, more dangerous animals only referred to as demons.

Major cities include the towns of Talamh Dearg, (Red Earth) Bear Geag (Bear's Arm) and Cuan Ciar, (Black Harbor) all of which are named in the Old Tongue, a language still spoken by many of the island's inhabitants, although many are still able to communicate in English. Bars and taverns in this country are large and plentiful, where visitors can hear the many myths, legends, and old stories of the land, more than a few of which are recited in verse or song.
