Northwind Barrens

Overview
The Northwind Barrens mark the northern frontier of Solaris, a land of extremes where frozen winds scour the mountains and survival hangs by a thread. The region is divided into three distinct domains, each shaping its own identity within the cold expanse. To the west lies Eldergrove, a serene enclave of knowledge and culture, where bardic songs echo through halls of learning and magic is studied far from the grasp of King Alistair’s rule. At its heart rises Pinnacle Heights, the most treacherous stretch of the Barrens, defined by sheer cliffs, relentless blizzards, and frostbitten peaks that few dare to climb. To the east sprawls the bleak frontier, a desolate and uninhabited coast where the land descends into the fathomless black waters of the Umbral Sea, a place whispered to harbor strange, aquatic folk and mysteries best left undisturbed.
