Vaasa

Vaasa is an untamed wasteland of frozen moors and tundra located in the Cold Lands of northeast Faerûn. It is a relatively empty land with sporadic farms and the occasional wandering monster. As much of the land is unclaimed, there are many prospectors who come to Vaasa looking for natural treasure, of which it has many. The lands are rich in precious metals and gems, particularly bloodstone.

Major geographical features
The Great Glacier is a persistantly retreating glacier that once covered the lands of Vaasa and Damara. It lies to the north of both of these lands. The Galena Mountains form a ring around Vaasa from the east to the west in an anti-clockwise direction, through which Bloodstone Pass gives trade access to Damara in the east.

Notable locations
Castle Perilous is the former home of Zhengyi the Witch-King, located on the shore of the Lake of Tears. Darmshall is a small fortress-village that was founded by the Tenblades adventuring company, and Palischuk is a once-destroyed city has since been rebuilt by, and is occupied by, half-orcs.
