Velheim

Ryker's Expanse is a vast sheet of ice that spreads into the Ilithed Ocean. Legends speak of ancient frost giants who once ruled these icy plains, commanding blizzards and using frigid beasts to hunt for sport. With the passage of time, their once-great kingdoms have crumbled into mere whispers of the past, yet the giants still roam, fierce and relentless in their dominion over the land. Monstrous creatures, adapted to the brutal conditions, also stalk the icy terrain, creating a perilous experience for any who dare to traverse this desolate expanse. Travelers seek refuge in treacherous ice caves and make offerings to dormant deities in hopes of favor or protection.
