Made of high, icy mountains, snow banks and the perpetual cracking, shifting Ice floes and icebergs over the deep blue sea, this land is a landscape of perpetually shifting shades of blues, purples and pale icy shades.
The stars shine without compare here, as does the shifting Veil of Lights that covers the skies at night, pale at first during the sunset, then becoming the bright, hypnotizing display that has led many an unwary traveler to their doom.
This place is home to rare aquatic and land creatures that seem to thrive in the cold, icy elementals in their cold palaces that look like giant crystal shards, looming over the viewer, sharp edged against the dark sky...Crystal shards that glow brightly. Crystal orbs that glow brilliantly in the darkness, crystal trees, bushes and flowers of EVERY shade and color of the rainbow, tall and lacy, pure and perfect in form and so very, very delicate...
And which slice the flesh so easily when shattered by a single object's impact or the incorrect application of pressure.
Fall into the water, and unless you are of the Orca tribe, you will no doubt perish, frozen to the bone.
To survive here, one must become a hunter without parallel. The only way to live here is to find a way to stay warm.
This has led many creatures to either grow thick, luxurious fur.... Or to specialize in devouring warm-blooded creatures.
Parts of these creatures are valuable.. furs and horns and fangs, rare spell components.. The exquisitely glowing shards and orbs and crystal trees that grow nowhere else and that raise such a high price when collected...
But be aware. For all it's beauty, this land of crystalline cold is not for the faint of heart, or the reckless.
