The World's Edge
The World's Edge, commonly known as the Frozen Region, encompasses the entire southern continent of planet Solaris. This enormous landmass could cover the entire Osperian Forest if superimposed over it. The region is home to incredibly large frostworms, massive subterranean creatures that tunnel through ice in search of prey, alongside other animals adapted to the harsh tundra.
The Ardanians inhabiting this frozen wasteland descended from explorers who traveled from Planet Ardanor thousands of years ago through an ancient portal. While maintaining cultural ties to their ancestral homeworld, they've adapted to the World's Edge environment and developed a distinct civilization known for raiding, craftsmanship, and resilience.
Notable Locations
Aufeis Village
An Ardanian settlement hidden deep within the ice, whose inhabitants are known for raiding coastal villages as well as their skills in crafting, trading, and hunting. They worship the Dragonkin Queen Vishera and venture into the world both to acquire treasures for their queen and to gather knowledge and supplies. A functioning portal connects the village to Planet Ardanor.
Vishera's Vale
A hidden location in the Frozen Expanse named after Queen Vishera, Lord Kelthuron's consort. This sacred place served as the site where some dragonkin of the Thunderwing Brood rebuilt their race after time travel, establishing a sanctuary in the frozen wilderness away from outside interference.
Frost Peaks
A formidable mountain range rising from the northern edge of the World's Edge, separating habitable southern regions from utterly inhospitable polar extremes. These jagged peaks, perpetually shrouded in blizzards, contain rare cryogenic minerals that Ardanians mine with great difficulty, with legends of an ancient Builder temple hidden within the highest mountain.
