The North is home to one of the harshest environments in Creation. Savage winters, deadly predators and scarcity of food would all be challenge enough, even without the added danger posed by barbarians, the Fair Folk and the dead. Defying both the elements and the Northlands' myriad of threats, however, three nations have succeeded in wresting order from a chaotic wilderness and forging a stable home for their subjects. Bastions of the North details the three great powers of the North: Whitewall, Gethamane and the Haslanti League. Inside, players will find all they need to create characters from these frontier states, and Storytellers will find the tools they need to run series set there. Discover how these three very different powers each succeeded in mastering the untamed North - and the secrets each harbors that threaten to undo their fragile authority. Book jacket.
