Location from The First Law by Joe Abercrombie
The Union's wild northern province — a frontier where civilization thins and the Northmen are always just over the next hill.
Angland exists to be fought over. It's the buffer zone between the Union and the North, and every generation seems to produce a war that rolls through it. The province has been invaded, occupied, liberated, and invaded again so many times that its people have a fatalistic relationship with violence.
Rugged, forested, and sparsely populated — the Union's borderland with the North. Military outposts and frontier towns dot a landscape that's more wilderness than civilization. The weather is harsh, the people are harder, and the border is always contested.
