Alvøy

Alvøy is an island west of Norden,  seperated by the ocean Nordhav. West of it lies The Great Ocean. The majority of the island is covered by tundra, and there is also very little vegetation. There are however several vulcanoes there, and also many hot-springs.

Mythology
Alvøy is a place shrouded in mystery. The people of Norden claim that the following creatures live there:
 * Dragons
 * Elves
 * Trolls
 * Unicorns
 * Wizards

Coast
The coasts of Alvøy are very  treachorus waters, and are said to  have a large population of Sea Monsters. It is often covered in fog- even at places far away from vulcanoes.

Eveyar
The mythological place Eveyar is said to be found somewhere on the island. Eveyar is an extremly furtile valley, surrounded by tall ice-covered mountains. According to several different stories, the following things are said to be found there:
 * The hall of most of The Northern Gods
 * The hall of The Blind Watchman
 * The hall of the greatest Wizard
 * The capital of the Elves
 * The original home of Dragons, instead if Kvittind
 * A gate to another dimension

People
There are not many people living at Alvøy, but there are some. These generally live along the southern coast. Just like the other islands west of Norden, there are generally three reasons why people settle there: Since most people fear the island, it is not as much competition for land there as on other islands in Nordhav
 * They do not own land in Norden, and want to try to live somewhere else
 * They have personal enemies in Norden
 * They have political enemies in Norden

These settlements are generally very small and isolated, and some are said to have gone mad there. There is also no government there, and stories of cannibalism and strange cults therefore helps to make the island even more feared.

History
Arolf Steingeirsønn once led an expedition to the island. From there he brought back many exotic items and goods, including something he claimed was horns from unicorns. His crew supposedly hunted down four unicorns, and brought back the horns. The meat, however, they had to eat due to lack of other food found on and around the island. One of the horns was sold to Oddvar Torsønn Sølvfell, who became a friend of him.
