northlands
Frigid upper territories
Northlands refers to territories in the far north—cold, often remote regions at high latitudes.
The term appears in fantasy literature and games to evoke harsh, wintry landscapes: The warriors came from the northlands.
In real-world use, it may describe Scandinavia, northern Canada, or similar areas: Life in the northlands requires adaptation to long winters.
