Icefall

Located north of the where the glaci er caused by the Hungering Frost's grip on the Nocthian Caldercaldera tumbled to the north sea, this expanse of broken badlands, moraines, canyons, and scrubland still hasn't healed. Two significant rivers flow through here, and only along their banks does life flourish.

Climate

The grip of Ice still holds sway here. The summers are short and cool, with snow often lingering in patches until nearly High Summer. The winters are brutal, with heavy snow, howling winds, and pitch darkness all starting as early as Autumn Dying.

Only hardy plant life grows here--resilient grasses in clumps, small scrubby trees with deep roots into the rock, etc. Wildlife too is sparse, and mostly limited to small animals (and their predators).

Inhabitants

There are no native Spoken inhabitants of Icefall. One small settlement, the remnant of Errak the Beastmaster's vain dream of a nation worshiping him as a god, now liberated, remains where the two rivers join in a sheltered hollow.
