The Northern Continent[1][2], also known as the Northern Lands, is the area of the main continent north of the Southern Mountains but including the Division Mountains. This continent was the first area presented in Order of the Stick, and it has been the setting for numerous adventures. (see Plotlines, below)
While many nations and regions in the continent are known to exist, only maps of the Dwarven Lands and the region surrounding Greysky City, representing the northernmost and southernmost reaches of the continent, have been shown in the published Order of the Stick material. The border region of the Northern and Southern Continents is an isthmus, which along with the mountain ranges make a natural division between the two continents, despite them being one continuous landmass.
The continent is bounded by the Wet Sea to the west, the unnamed sea surrounding the North Pole to the north, the Other Sea of which Cove Bay is a part to the east, and the aforementioned Division and Southern mountains to the south. The full size of the continent and political divisions are as-yet unknown.
