Ibben is an island to the north of the Free Cities. It is inhabited by sealskin wearing people, called the Ibbenese. It lies in the Shivering Sea. Reportedly, beyond the Port of Ibben, the main city, lie cold wastes where one can find mammoths.[1]

According to non-canon sources, the major city is the Port of Ibben. The Shivering Sea has many whales, so many of the Ibbenese are whalers.
