* ''VideoGame/ConquerorsBlade'': The lore of ''Season VI: Scourge of Winter'' has the Alpine region of Ostaria being overtaken by a vicious winter, under cover of which an army of demon-worshipping plunderers called the Desecrators invades from the wastes to the north.



** Atmora, the northernmost continent on Nirn, likely was a "grim North" to the [[OurElvesAreDifferent races of Mer (Elves)]] during the 1st Era [[ScrewYouElves Man-Mer hostility]] in Skyrim, as Atmoran Men kept emigrating over and supplementing the Mannish manpower. However, it is now ''too'' cold: the last reliable reports indicate that it is frozen over and uninhabited. Expeditions to Atmora in the 2nd and 3rd Eras found no signs of intelligent life. According to the Dunmeri PhysicalGod Vivec in his ''[[InGameNovel Lessons of Vivec]]'' book series, he traveled there with [[FounderOfTheKingdom Lord Nerevar]] and "found nothing but [[HumanPopsicle frozen bearded kings]]".

* Parodied in ''Videogame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth'', where {{Canada|Eh}} is portrayed as the mysterious frozen kingdom of the north where people speak a strange dialect (French) and is filled with [[DireBeast Dire variations]] of beasts and diseases (most notably Dire AIDS) that are simply described as "Like (X) but Dire". You can even find a set of Skyrim-style barbarian armor while adventuring there.

* ''Literature/ThePurpleCloud'': During the expedition to the North Pole, the unbearable cold and the blank whiteness of the environment cause many members to fall into depression. It's especially bad during the polar night.
-->Ah me, none but those who have felt it could dream of one half the mental depression of that long Arctic night; how the soul takes on the hue of the world; and without and within is nothing but gloom, gloom, and the reign of the Power of Darkness.

* In Creator/MichaelStackpole's ''The Dragon Crown War'', [[BigBad Chytrine's]] [[TheEmpire empire]] of Aurolan is located in the frozen wastes far to the north, and is populated chiefly by nonhuman creatures capable of enduring its harsh conditions. ''Underneath'' Aurolan lies the [[SealedEvilInACan prison]] of [[OurTitansAreDifferent the Oromise]], who fuel Chytrine's wars of conquest with magic and lost knowledge in return for her promise to pop them lose once she amasses the power to do so.
