TRICALA BOREALIS

Here the land is covered massive mountain ranges, blanketed by forests, and the occasional meadow, fjords are scattered across the landscape. As you look across valley, you can see a clear blue lake in the distance. The grass is a dark green, and the air feels like a warm fall day.

RELIGION

This world believes in a unified spirit and physical world. They believe that one day, the Great Spirit decided to create the world. He shaped the hills and forests, singing songs to fill the lakes and rivers with water. When the Great Spirit was finished, he sat back to watch his creation. However, everything seemed to quiet. The Great Spirit decided to create animals to fill his world. He created Coyote, Raven, Wolf, and all the other animals. Before the Great Spirit left for his spot, he warned the animals to behave, and treat everyone with equal respect, or he would return to fix his world. Before they take anything from the land, they give thanks to the Great Spirit and the spirit of whatever they are taking.
