Zendrolion’s Nainartas, 24 miles per hex

Simone introduced this culture from his own campaign towards the end of his seminal Norwold from the Italian MMB thread. First he posted an article, then he expanded it and added a map, too. In his own words:

The Nainartas are a female culture that rule an alliance of barbarian tribes from a small community located high in the Goddess’ Diadem.

His article went into some detail on the area and the peoples, including their history, society, religion and magic. The setting was the series of valleys between the Icereach Range in the west and the Jagged Teeth in the east, with the Goddess’ Diadem cutting through between them. This area was just outside Norwold proper, between two rather iconic Norwold locations: Mt. Crystykk and the Arch of Fire.

Simone didn’t incorporate this into his concurrent Norwold version 1.7 map, although it is clearly compatible with it.
