The Northern Tundra

Geography
The Northern Tundra is deserving of its name, being mainly comprised of salt flats and harsh, unforgiving terrain with little-to-no native flora or fauna. It is for this reason that the vast majority of the population of the Northern Tundra is nomadic, native tribesmen, or merchants.

Population
While Sterling is the trade capitol of the Isle of Rhodes, The Northern Tundra is an unscrupulous traders' paradise. Many tribes too stubborn to relocate or unsuspecting travelers are desperately in need of supplies, which provides the opportunity to double, or even triple, the prices of goods that are relatively common in other areas.

Kismet
Kismet is an all-Tiefling society in the center of the region. Contrary to what many people in the Suffering Coast would imagine when thinking of Tieflings, Kismet is an incredibly lavish city. The red skin of its inhabitants is vastly offset by the black and cream marble structures and roadways, and the city's architecture has been rumored to rival that of Sterling itself.

Leadership
That flamboyant Baroness Providence Cromwell is the ruling lady of Kismet, and is well loved by her people. Once a slave to a wealthy noble in the Suffering Coast, Baroness Cromwell escaped and joined a tribe of nomadic tieflings who were traveling southwest. After saving the life of the tribe's leader, Cromwell herself was promoted to the position of power, and decided to settle the tribe nearly two decades ago into what is now the city of Kismet.
