History

The northern iceshelf has been around for a long time, but in recent ages since the crystals shattered, its rate of growth has seemed to exceeded the natural realm. Kaizei as it's generally referred to, is the coldest place in the world and generally inhospitable aside from the weather.

Environment

The beasts of the area are vicious, but valuable in their commodities.

Society

Most of those who choose to call this unforgiving realm "home" reside in a solitary fortress-kingdom, of which very little is known. What is known is that the people there believe the growth of the glacier to be a glorious (not to mention gradual) process, possibly even divine favor. Whether they are directly responsible for its recently exceptional growth spurt is uncertain, but people have been speculating as such.

Hunters and bandits are about the only other people you run in to, out here.
