Edda
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. [1] 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. [2] 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.
Trivia
Th name Edda comes from two Nordic poems; the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda written in Iceland around the 13th Century.
