Perhaps the least populated of [[Golarion|Golarion's]] continents, the [[Crown of the World]]<ref>'''A large poster map of the Crown of the World is included in this product: '''{{Cite book/Jade Regent Poster Map Folio|2}}</ref> is certainly not the least traveled. Covered in glacial ice, the landmass sits atop the world and serves as a passage from [[Tian Xia]] to [[Avistan]], the most well-known of which is called the [[Path of Aganhei]]. Traders and explorers frequently brave the harsh cold to reach the other side of the world via this shortest route.<ref name="ISWG206">{{Cite book/The Inner Sea World Guide|206-7}}</ref>

== Geography ==
The Crown of the World is roughly divided into three geographical zones based on climate and distance from the [[North Pole]]. From south to north, they are the subarctic [[Outer Rim]], which borders the more southerly continents, the polar ice cap known as the [[High Ice]], and the cold desert surrounding the pole known as the [[Boreal Expanse]].<ref>{{Cite book/The Hungry Storm|18}}</ref> The continent's southern borders are the [[Rimethirst Mountains]], over which lie [[Avistan]], and the [[Wall of Heaven Mountains]], which separate it from [[Tian Xia]]; cold seas separate the Crown from [[Casmaron]] and [[Arcadia]].<ref>{{Cite book/The Hungry Storm|65}}</ref> Despite its reputation as a frozen wasteland, the Crown hosts a vast expanse of rivers, mountains, wetlands, forests, and other biomes.{{Source}}

== Inhabitants ==
Despite its inhospitable conditions, the Crown of the World contains numerous thriving cultures, most notably the [[Erutaki (human ethnicity)|Erutaki]] [[human]]s and [[Snowcasters|snowcaster]] [[elf|elves]].<ref name="ISWG206" /> Most of the Crown's people live in isolated communities or tribal confederations; the only centralized nation on the continent is the [[dwarf|dwarven]] kingdom of [[Zavaten Gura]].<ref>{{Cite book/The Hungry Storm|74}}</ref>

Monsters such as [[white dragon]]s, [[frost giant]]s, [[wendigo]]s, and [[remorhaz]]es also inhabit the frigid continent. Furthermore, the ice holds the ruins of a highly advanced civilization, which predates even [[Azlant]], [[Thassilon]], or the coming of the [[aboleth]]s to Golarion, presenting one of the most perplexing mysteries in the entire world.<ref name="ISWG206" />

Legend tells of the [[White Legion]], an army of frost [[wight]]s gathered in the Crown of the World. Their purpose is unknown, but there are fears that they are in league with [[Baba Yaga]] and her witch daughters.<ref>{{cite book/Undead Revisited|62}}</ref>
