Ettinsmoor

Ettinsmoor (derived from Ettins' Moor) was the Giant-inhabited country directly to the north of the Kingdom of Narnia, bordered on the south by the River Shribble and on the north by the Great Northern River. To the west it was bordered by the great western mountains, and to the east by the Eastern Ocean. It is the only official nation (recognised by the Kingdom of Narnia) in the Wild Lands of the North.

The country was a rough and stony moor traversed by many streams and rivers. Wild geese commonly flew over Ettinsmoor in the late autumn.

People
Before the death of Father Time the Giants and Ettinss of Ettinsmoor where a sophisticated species that build ancient cities and bridges around Ettinsmoor and the nameless country north from it in the Wild Lands of the North presumably during the Golden Age. However after his death the giants became uncivilised at best most likely beginning at the Dark Age. The inhabitants of Ettinsmoor had become known to be notorious for their stupidity and vicious temperament. They resembled rock formations when standing still, helping them to blend into their barren surroundings.

History
The northern Giants regularly waged unofficial war with their southern neighbors in Narnia. The High King Peter, during a northern expedition, finally declared war and defeated the Giants in the Ettinsmoor War of Narnian-year 1014 when they where civilised. The Ettins were again encroaching on Narnian territory in the time of Caspian X, now uncivilised who defeated them in 2304 and forced them to pay tribute. At this point, the Ettins' state was incorporated into the Narnian Empire as the Barony of Ettinsmoor, a new Narnian territory.

Trivia
Ettinsmoor is spelt Ettinsmoor in The Silver Chair, but Ettinsmuir in The Last Battle. Both are acceptable spellings. The word Ettin is an obsolete form of the word eten giant, and a "moor" is a high, open wasteland.
