Nordéan

Nordéan is a fictional landmass featured in the fantasy novel "The Serpent's Eye" by Sarah J. Harris. It is depicted as a rugged and sparsely populated region situated in the northern reaches of the continent of Eldoria. The geography of Nordéan is characterized by vast, windswept plains, dense evergreen forests, and a harsh, often snow-covered mountain range known as the Dragon's Teeth. Winters in Nordéan are long and severe, significantly impacting the lives and traditions of its inhabitants.

The people of Nordéan are primarily composed of hardy, independent clans who have adapted to the challenging environment. They are known for their resilience, their deep connection to the land, and their skilled craftsmanship, particularly in metalworking and hunting. Their societal structure is largely tribal, with a strong emphasis on community and mutual support. While generally isolationist, the clans of Nordéan have a long history of defending their borders against external threats.

Economically, Nordéan relies on hunting, fishing, and the extraction of rare minerals found in the Dragon's Teeth mountains. Trade with other regions of Eldoria is limited due to the difficult terrain and the Nordéan people's preference for self-sufficiency. The land is also said to hold ancient secrets and forgotten ruins, hinting at a richer and more complex past that influences the present. The cultural landscape of Nordéan is shaped by folklore, ancient myths, and a reverence for the natural world.
