Vrarbog

Vrarbog is the furthest north of the islands, and the furthest away.

Socially, it is seen as the roughest island for the most hearty of folks. It is the most easily defended territory in Rivienne due to its harsh nature- similar to that of Russia on Earth. Wolves who are not used to the territory would easily die before even reaching the pack that they seek to fight. However, because it is the easiest to defend, it is also the hardest to live in. Wolves who are not born to this land must find ways to cope- usually by heavy deity worship. Due to this, the dwellers of Vrarbog are often the bloodthirsty, brutal, and the extremely religious type. Rigid and stubborn are two traits that one might need to simply survive here.

The wildlife is treacherous, large, and often hostile. Birds that most would consider fragile songbirds would not be against swooping down and attacking unsuspecting canines. The island is large enough to support up to ten wolves in a pack, as long as they are able and willing to hunt large and dangerous prey such as elk. However, wolves are the apex predator here, so there are no other enemies to canines here but themselves and their feisty prey.

It usually requires a power to get to this island, but it is possible to swim if a canine is very dedicated. The waters here are much colder, which causes some brave adventurers to freeze while swimming to it. Like usual it is surrounded by swamp land, but it's all frozen. The wildlife has adapted here from previously warmer temperatures. Most plants are dead from the cold and frozen over with a small layer of ice. The water has a thin layer as well that cannot be stood on in most cases.

As you move inland, the trees thicken out into a full-blown tundra-style forest. Many cave and tunnel networks run beneath this forest- often opening up without warning. A wolf who does not know the territory would be prone to slipping into these tunnels and getting caught.

More and more to the center of the island, the trees start to thin out and leave an open landscape. Fields of yellow grass, dotted here and there by snow, give way to a large lake right in the middle of the island. At the very center of the lake is a tiny little speck of land. When investigated closely, it's actually a cave entrance that is most typically used as an Alpha's den.
