Baltica

To the north of the Archipelago lies the continent of Baltica. The continent has a tropical climate similar to the Archipelago, with lush woodlands, known as the Northern Woodlands, consisting of conifers. This is the home of the giant club-tailed shieldbeasts and jungleprowlers.

Civilization
The Northern Woodlands of Baltica are home to several jungle-dwelling tribes. Most of these are hunter-gatherers; very few of them turned to agriculture.

The Woodlands are also home to the pyramid-building Baltec civilization. They have large fortresses and temples within the jungle. Their biggest settlements are the cities of Xotochualm, Upaxala, Guatlán, Hualxincí, Tuaracú and Xanapatar. Many jungle tribes are subservient to the Baltecs and devoted worshippers of their sun-god Quetzali, and participate in the human sacrifices performed in Quetzali’s honor.

The Baltecs, notably, do not craft ships other than small canoes for river-cruising. Therefore, they stay on their continent and do not fare the sea.

The Campanian Empire is aiming to conquer Baltica. They established Fort Scanium at the south-western coast of the continent.
