Hyperborea sits near the top of the world, a harsh and unforgiving place. Mountains help to shield the land from the boreas  or North Winds, an unrelenting force.

My campaign starts on a group of islands to the east of Hyperborea, specifically Port Zangerois. The band of adventurers are a mixed bag of Hyperboreans and humans, all belonging to House Vheez, one of the few houses that still follow the old ways.

At one time the Hyperboreans were the favored of the god Apollo but apostasy set in and led the people astray to worshiping alien and evil gods. House Vheez still venerates Apollo and trains acolytes at private monasteries. 

In Port Zangerois, House Vheez maintains a presence with private manses, warehouses and a fleet of cargo ships.
