In the Infertile Plains's Northern Region, icy winds from the snowy north ravaged the barren land with frequent breezes, bringing silent death wherever they swept. Due to these very icy winds, the Northern Region possessed the least population and food source.
It was the most desolate and harshest place to live among the five regions.
Beasts were few and even harder to hunt, especially during the Hour of Silent Death, when the temperature dropped to its lowest point.
Without ample thick fur and strong fire sources for warmth, very few could survive outside in the freezing cold of the night—be they man or beast.
Due to this, most tribes would retreat underground during the Hour of Silent Death and sleep.
In the Bluewind Tribe, which had been elected as the leading tribe of the Northern Alliance, various tribal chiefs of the Northern Region convened around the warm fire in the longhouse.
