Is Xin-Shalist at the north pole?

[Yqatuba]

That's the impression I get

[Nathan Monson]

No, its at the top of fantasy mount everest. I think there is a map in the AP that shows where it is in the world.

[Yqatuba]

Cool, just out of curiousity does it say anywhere what is at the North and South pole in any official books?

[Adam Daigle]

Here's a page with some information about what's at the north, and here's one about what's at the south.

Adventure Jade Regent #3: The Hungry Storm contains a map and a gazeteer of the region around the North Pole.

Xin-Shalast is in the far north-east of Varisia, right near where the nation borders both the Realm of the Mammoth Lords and the Hold of Belkzan. So there's at least a whole country and a glacier between Xin-Shalast and the Crown of the World.
