Boreacia

Boreacia is the Xth largest continent on the planet of Mundis, located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere. It shares the contiguous landmass of the World Island with the continents of Austrecia, Insulessia, Stericia, Viameria, and Vikressia. By the TRIMIRDI's and most academic definitions in Vikressia, the continent is defined broadly as being bounded by the Cascadic Ocean to the southwest and the Tempestic Ocean to the southeast. Overland, Boreacia borders Vikressia in the southwest and Stericia in the southeast. Boreacia is commonly considered to be separated from Vikressia by the Thosuric Depths and the Brumian River; and from Stericia by the Great Northern Lakes.

Boreacia is the coldest of all continents, as it is almost entirely above the 60° parallel north. It is primarily a polar desert, the comparatively low precipitation centered in its coastal regions in the Cascadic and Tempestic oceans in the form of snow. Human habitation on the continent has been traced to the earliest centuries of the post-Cataclysm eras, existing in the majority of history in the form of tribal peoples which would have brief and impermanent moments of contact with outsiders. As technological advancements allowed for non-indigenous countries to establish permanent presence in the continent, multiple countries have been consolidated in Boreacia and the tundral areas which extend beyond it. The vegetation of Boreacia is consistent with that of a tundra.
