So using my excellent art skills here's how I see options for a northern campaign. My general plan was to sail past the dwarfs into the area I suspect the mammoths to be (beyond the baersonlings but east of the aeslings). The current map of dwarf lands shows Kraka Ravnsvake and surroundings, so Kraka Drak may also be on the mammoth area map, in which case there may be an opportunity to loot for big dwarf gold is any of their settlements look vulnerable. Alternatively, we can just stick to task and capture some baby mammoths, though I assume that will also involve having to fight adult mammoths, which will likely suck.
After that, assuming we're in a fit state to continue I see four main options:
First, double back the way we came and try to push down the Ravsnvake in dwarf lands. Using the lake and the HP bonus from being in ships may make an attack this way viable, but it would likely still be hard as the dwarf warriors are equivalant to chaos warriors in stats.
Second, push along the coast, subjugate the Aeslings, then head south, through what looks like a mountain pass into the brown tribe. Personally, I feel like the black tribe is positioned more where the Sarls are meant to be, but in that case I have no idea who the brown tribe are. Maybe they are the Sarls and the black tribe are the Skaelings?
Third, basically the same plan as number 2 but after the Aeslings continue along the coast towards the Vargs.
Fourth, we turn back after getting the mammoths and go onto this quest we're seen about hunting sea monsters on the ice. This seems like a bit of a mystery box option, as presumably there will be no settlements to loot, so the reward will be something else, and also we have no real idea what the sea monsters are or how tough they'll be.
Personally, I'm committed to the mammoth hunt, but which of the four routes afterwards depends on what everyone else is doing.
