The '''Edda super-continent''' covers two-thirds of [[Harvest]]. It is capped by the [[Hugin]] Sea to the north and the [[Munin]] Sea to the south. <ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]] p.74</ref> Eighty-six percent of the continent is within five hundred meters of sea level, the only major change in elevation occurring in the [[Bifrost]], which cuts diagonally across the continent. <ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]] pg. 75</ref> This land is stated to be arable, from [[Latin]], ''arare'', which means to plough. Arable is an agricultural term, meaning land that can be used for growing crops. The fertility of this land is what makes Harvest the great producer of agriculture.
The name Edda comes from two Nordic poems; the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda written in Iceland around the 13th Century.
