Re the limited nature of "pre-recent" contacts between your people & the rest of the IDU, if you arrived in the coastal "lobe" immediately to the east of my 'Northlands' then this could -- like the Northlands themselves -- have been basically sealed-off from its neighbours until very recently by one of the mystical barriers that seem to have been emplaced during the Wizards' War that took place during parts of the 1st century BC & 1st century AD... although of course that would be up to you.
...
Oh, and now that you've chosen a location for your nation we can decide where your embassy to the Bears is placed: Considering your lcoation, and Ursine history, the best option would be to put it in 'NorthPort' -- in the 'Northlands' -- and you'd be dealing with the 'Council of the North' rather than [directly] with the 'High Council of Clans'. Is that okay as far as you are concerned? [/quote]
The Wizard War thing I'd really need to know more about. Maybe PM the basic info to me?
That said, and somewhat more back OT, my conception had the Ohn invading from the northwest, but given your concerns as well as my dislike for the whole space/time overlay of nations (not to mention my addition of Muircine), we could say that there is something akin to a space/time leak, that is much like another type of weather pattern only much more slow. Every so often (say every hundred years or so), there would be a sort of temporal storm somewhere in the world causing a sort of gateway between realities to open. In the Ohn's case then, they would have used one of these gates to flee the aforementioned catastrophy, and subsequently supplant the previously ruling nation.
I do still like the idea that there was a much larger ice shelf to the north that shattered at some point, leaving a smaller continent or shelf there now, as it makes the north and northern seas more interesting than just an empty ocean.
...and we're more than happy to deal with the Council of the North.
The Muircine in particular are well disposed to the northern Ursines (not many others, but there you go... 
)
Again, back OT, off the Muircine coasts there are to particularly notable types of fish. the first is a type of Salmon that migrates through the area on there ways north to breed and so can be found at various times all along the region's coast. The second is a type of highly aggressive shark (possibly related to the Tiger Shark) that, since the founding of Sidh Ohn, have been referred to as Sea Wolves, largely because they seem to hunt in packs rather than as individuals.
