Kolmetsa
A northern country of forest, water, and immense seasonal contrast.
Kolmetsa is one of Teravana’s coldest inhabited countries. It faces the northern ocean and is shaped by boreal forest, lakes, marshes, snow-fed rivers, long winters, and mountainous eastern districts.
Its communities are defined by seasonal contrast: summers are short and intensely productive, while winter turns attention toward storage, repair, craftwork, and communal life.
