Hvalia

Hvalia, meaning "land of the whale," was a name given by the Akui who originally settled the continent during the mythical age. It was the second and most crucial stop made by Xi and the migrators during their journey eastward to escape the Holy Wars. Its subdivisions include the Northern Reaches, an icy tundra at the very top of the continent, the central snowy region of Norska, the grassier plains and accompanying islands of Mynrike, and the island of Fyrige east of the continent.
