Settlements are described as small towns or villages with traditions in crafts, forestry, or mining. The climate is often temperate with notable seasonal variation, and local geography frequently influences social structures and economy.

Cultural markers include traditional architecture, craft styles, and local festivals invented by authors. Some depictions include a local language or dialect that blends invented elements with Slavic-inspired phonology.
