The frigid finger of land known as Korgsland is possibly the coldest land in all of the Realm. A cold wind constantly blows from the north. Known as Korgsbreath, the temperature rarely exceeds ten degrees. A thin line of mountains runs along the southern edge of the peninsula. Breaking the constant wind, a small forest of pines stretches from Icevale to the Eastern Drift. There are several villages in Korgsland. Due to harsh conditions, Korgslanders are very hardy. The primary exports from Korgsland are diamonds, furs, and fish.

The Frozen Sea, to the north of Korgsland , is typically broken ice that is not navigable by either land or sea. Every twenty years, the weather cycles allow for the entire sea to freeze. During these times, Korgsland is besieged by very long-limbed creatures known as Snow-Walkers which come over the polar cap. Typically these attacks are countered by the Korgslanders setting pit traps and preparing a burning pitch which is dumped onto the creatures from above. Korgslanders are also known to used trained bears to protect themselves from enemies.
