Northern Wastes

The Northern Wastes is a large arctic wilderness in northwestern Farover. It is presumably uninhabited. The Northern Wastes is heavily influenced by Northrend in the warcraft universe.

In the central northern wastes is a frozen lake with a gargantuan icerberg in the middle, which holds a frozen city inside. The Frost Folk live here, who are descendants of the exiled Kerisian humans. The frost folk live under the rulership and care of an ancient silver dragon Silmarion. The frost folk have bright blue eyes, pale snowy skin, and silver hair. They are innately magical beings, and they do not have blood flowing through their veins. They have the same stats as normal humans, but have cold resistance, and can withstand temperatures up to -50 fahrenheit. The frost folk were created after surviving the harsh cold conditions for decades, and surviving off Rimefruit, a magical frosty vegetable found deep in the earth of the northern wastes. Before recently, they have only been living mostly in the confines of their icy castle and inside the lake, so they have remained hidden even from the wizards of the conclave.

Silmarion spends most of his time in his human form. He took pity on the humans exiled here and took them under his wing. They were exiled from Keris for rebelling against Merzinian rule. The Frost city is called Rivijakh (icy haven in Kerisian). It is a huge structure entirely out of ice, and extends into the earth where they harvest rimefruit.
