My friends and I are in a Varisian campaign and its getting into Winter.
We began discussing the material and wondering just how bad the winters got. Considering geography, I was seeing it much like Alaska with very cold, snowy, and icy Winter seasons. I imagined the seas would be treacherous to hazard even with the possibility of frozen in ports. Would shipping lanes close?
Others thought more of Washington or Oregon very overcast, foggy, humid, lots of cold drizzle, and little snow except at the higher elevations.
Would the Mushfens become the Slushfens? Or is that region stay boggy year round.
Thoughts? References?
