This remote, harsh region is a frozen tundra characterized by vast plains, glacial caves, and areas of unstable ground. The area is prone to fierce blizzards all year round, but dramatic skies, beautifully illuminated by shimmering auroras, still lure hundreds of visitors every year. Survival dictates that the local Elven clans cluster closely in their ice-hut settlements, built around natural geothermal springs that provide open warmth.
