I mostly love the idea of a zone where you take damage over time unless you stay near campfires or wear the proper equipment.
It'd really help make it feel like actually hostile land that isn't under homin control, something we're sorely lacking imo.
I'd always wished they'd done something like that for the desert, too, ofcourse that wouldn't be fair since desert is one race's starting land but they could always make a "deep desert" or something.
Anyways, "the artic" would work pretty well for this indeed. In the real world those are barren barely habited zones as well, and in a fantasy world they'd ofcourse be that much more deadly >:)
