Frozen Fjords

Builder Temple Tau
Builder Temple Tau emerges from the perpetual blizzards of the Frozen Fjords, its crystalline spires resembling the natural ice formations of Ardanor yet bearing the unmistakable precision of Builder architecture. Unlike the crude ice fortresses of the Ardanians, this temple remains at a constant temperature, its interior untouched by the brutal cold that defines this world. The portal chamber here resonates uniquely with the planet's natural ice magic, causing auroral phenomena that the warrior-mages of Ardanor interpret as signs from their gods. Local legends speak of ancient Ardanian warriors discovering the temple during a great storm, believing it to be a gift from their deities, though the Elyndrians note that the structure far predates any recorded Ardanian civilization.

The Howling Cliffs
These towering cliffs, their faces sculpted by relentless winds and icy storms, mark the edge of the frozen fjords. They are home to colonies of screeching seabirds, their nests clinging precariously to the sheer rock face.

Glacier's End
This massive glacier, the largest on Ardanor, spills into the sea at the northernmost point of the planet. Its icy expanse is a treacherous landscape of crevasses and ice caves, home to hardy creatures adapted to the extreme cold.

The Maw of the Deep
This seemingly bottomless chasm in the ocean floor is said to be the lair of the Leviathan, a colossal sea creature feared by all who sail these waters. Its dark depths are shrouded in mystery and legend.

The Isle of Whispers
This desolate island, shrouded in mist and fog, is said to be haunted by the spirits of lost sailors. Its shores are littered with the wreckage of ships, their skeletal remains a grim reminder of the dangers of these waters.
