Nidavellir

Nidavellir is the northern continent, covered in mountains and snow

Hodmimir's Wood

 * The largest forest in the world of Middengard. Hodmimir's wood, covered in so many conifer trees that it refreshes the planet's atmosphere. It begins from the north shore, where the land is frozen almost year round, and continues south. Hodmimir's wood is so huge it almost completely covers the country of Nidavellir, surrounding the mountains. Pines tower like spires above the pristine white land.


 * The wood is scarcely populated in the higher latitude, and even at lower degrees animals are still unnoticable to the untrained eye. But they are there. Caribou, Wolverines, crossbills, at the lowest latitudes animals include martins, owls, squirrels and many others.

Dwarrowholme

 * Another "largest" in Nidavellir, Dwarrowholme is the largest mountain on Middengard. Long ago the first Dwarrow carved into the mountain with qigong and made it into their largest city. The mountain was hallowed out from a single cavern system into the large, sky light city it stands as today.
 * Dwarrowholme is the capital city of Nidavellir, it's location nestled in the Hodmimir mountains is perfect because it shields them from the elements enough that the Dwarrow can live safely, but is open enough that light and rain can get through, allowing the inside of the mountain to have it's own urbane ecosystem. Most of the original houses were made from the stone chiseled away in the creation of the cavern.
