The Tundra

The Tundra is where The Nameless Boy lived and where the immortal acquired its first living vessels, The Boy and Joaan.

Geography
The tundra is a cold land filled with snow, wind, and low temperatures. It is far away from civilization and lacks the proper materials to fully support human life. However, it was hinted that the Boy's tribe was once able to grow vegetables and possibly even fruit. There is evidence that wolves, elk or other types of deer used to roam the area. It is assumed that temperatures began to drop and food, wood, and other materials began to disappear with the cold.

The Boy's village appears to be located near the ocean and he survives on a diet of fish.

History
Five years prior, the boy's tribe left the village in search of a place where they would find people and food. The boy describes this as a paradise with "lots of fish and a thing called 'fruit'. There are people far smarter than us who live happily every day."

Before the group left, the boy tried to sneak away with them but Joaan bit his leg, causing him to be discovered. The adults told him to stay behind and take care of his grandparents. However, they said they would be back with souvenirs if they found that place. Eventually, the boy's grandparents passed away, leaving him alone.

Housing
The Boy's home, along with others in the area, is made out of wood and is in the shape of a half dome. Each house has a stone fireplace and the furniture in the Boy's house appears to be made out of stone and wood as well. When traveling, the Boy sleeps in a tent made out of animal skin which is held in shape by a large bone, possibly a rib taken from a small whale or another large animal.

A line with small shells attached to it can be seen around the inside and outside of the home which is used for catching fish and also serves as a tripwire to alert the Boy to people and animals passing by his home.

Clothing
Most of the people in the Boy's tribe wear a variation of brown fur cloaks/coats. Underneath these cloaks, they wear simple white linen clothes with brown leather knee pads attached to the pants. They also have gloves and boots made of animal skin and fur.

Trivia

 * When members of the tribe die, they are buried beneath the snow. The headstones consist of one big stone supported by three or four other stones.
 * In an interview, Yoshitoki Oima mentioned the boy lived in a ship that had been cut in half. The interviewer agreed that the ceiling resembled the keel of a ship and Oima explained: "It's not that 'A village exists over there [in the tundra]" but rather that the boy is implying he is "one of the people that made it over there."
