The land north of Hadrian's Wall has been known as Caledonia since Roman times. It is surrounded on the east by the North Sea, on the north by the Icelandic Sea and on the west by the North Channel. It is a wild land - full of adventure.
Only four "proper" kingdoms exist in Caledonia; Gorre, Garloth, Lothian, and Strangorre, with Lothian being the most influential, wealthy, and powerful. In these lands a knight can be confident that the people follow most of the normal customs found in Logres. However, even in these lands differences to Logres are marked. Most of the people are Pagan. The land is, for the most part, wilder and the commoner's life is harsher. Cattle and sheep herding is the main type of farming; little of the land is arable, so few towns or cities exist
Apart from those relatively normal feudal lands, the kingdoms of Caledonia follow an older, less sophisticated way of life. In most, all civilizing influence is completely unknown. The people live in a way which has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. Life is bleak, harsh and dangerous. Commoners do not farm. Instead they herd cattle and sheep from pasture to pasture. A few kingdoms are at least beginning to accept and adopt the ways of Feudalism.
