Dragon Pass has a much higher altitude, even in its 'lowlands', than most of Peloria and the constant worshipping of storm gods rather than gods of sunlight doesn't help much either. Esrolia (let alone Caladraland) is certainly warmer than Peloria, IMO, but Sartar isn't. OTOH, there are parts of the Empire that are colder than Sartar; the Hungry Plateau probably is, and the northern reaches around Yuthuppa, Carmania and the Redlands may be so too, albeit less stormy. By the time you're up in Erigia then you'll definitely be missing the balmy Sartarite summers ;-)
