The landscape is a brutal expanse of shifting glaciers and jagged mountain peaks, creating a sharp, frozen wasteland where survival is nearly impossible for the unprepared. The island's atmosphere is heavy with the presence of dark elemental creatures that thrive in the sub-zero temperatures, haunting the ice-slicked valleys and wind-blasted crags that dominate the territory. The influence of this frozen realm extends far beyond its shores; Glaszar’s dark, icy winds blow relentlessly southward, causing the Kingdom of Whitemist to endure unnaturally long, punishing winters. These gales cause the seas between the mainland and the island to churn with sharp, lethal icebergs, making any maritime approach a treacherous gamble. Dominating the frozen skyline is The Iceway, the palace of the island's ruler, which stands as a monumental, gleaming shard of pure ice, radiating a malevolent chill that can be felt for miles. Beneath the surface of this lightless waste lies a deep, sprawling network of tunnels said to hide the remnants of the island’s ancient inhabitants. These passages were carved eons ago by a lost culture of stoneshaping giants, whose megalithic architecture still endures within the lightless depths of the earth. These tunnels now serve as a sanctuary or a tomb for the secrets of the past, hidden away from the eternal dark winter that grips the surface. The native inhabitants who roam the surface are primarily elementals and feared white wyrms, apex predators that have adapted perfectly to the lightless, frozen interior. The island is said to be ruled by a malevolent Ice Genasi warlock who has secured her dominion through a dark pact with a nameless entity residing in the void. In exchange for power, the warlock has promised the entire island to this extra-planar horror, weaving a magical seal that bars outsiders from its shores and ensures the sun never rises over the jagged glaciers. ![[image 7.png]] ![[image 8.png]] ![[image 9.png]] ![[image 10.png]] ![[image 11.png]]
