It starts far to the South? So much for Winter-themed characters.

Some people don't like warm weather.

And you know, the Vikings ended up everywhere. So having cold-weather sorts in a warm weather climate isn't unbelievable. (Seriously. Look up "Norwegian Crusade" sometime. ^^)

Reminds me of the Polar Bear joke...

A little polar bear goes up to his mum and asks her, “Am I real polar bear?”

“Of course you are” his mum replies. “I’m a polar bear, your dad’s a polar bear, so you’re a polar bear”.

“But are you sure I don’t have any brown bear or grizzly bear in me?” he asks.

“Listen, if you don’t believe me go ask your grand-dad”

So he goes and asks his grand-dad

“Grand-dad, are you sure I’m a polar bear. I don’t have brown bear or grizzly bear in me?”

His grand–dad looks down on him and smiles.

“Listen, my boy, I’m a polar bear, my mum and dad were polar bears, and your granny, she was a polar bear, so your dad is a polar bear and so is your mum and her mum and her dad and her grand parents. We’re all polar bears so you are a pure, 100% polar bear”

The little polar bear doesn’t look convinced so his grand-dad asks him’

“What’s worrying you?”

“Well” he replies, “If both mum and dad are polar bears and all my grannies and grand-dads are polar bears, and even their mums and dads were all polar bears, and there’s no trace of grizzly or brown bear in me……then why am I so f***ing cold?”

I put in Andoran to make it more plausible for pc's to just be traveling through and getting sucked into the story

Andoran would make a perfect location for it. The module Carnival of Tears set there has the agents of the White Witch corrupt the fey of Darkmoon Vale, which sort of anticipates this AP.

Actually, I think that there were implications a few years back that Taldor was based on the Byzantine Empire.

And the Byzantine Emperor actually had Viking mercenary guards (the Varangian Guard)

The NPCs in the Taldor book also have Byzantine Greek names and the location matches - a land with a Mediterranean climate with lions and leopards, bordering an Arabian-like region. Byzantium was also an old, decayed empire with oppressed peasants, just as Taldor is described.
