The Ashen Reach is a desolate, permafrost-locked basin surrounded by crumbling obsidian peaks. Lost for centuries, this graveyard of a forgotten civilization is choked by a constant rain of black volcanic ash. Metallic flora pierces the frozen ground, and ruined spires tower like skeletal fingers. Life here is a desperate gamble, as recent pioneers in the village of Hollmen struggle against a hostile climate and a legendary predator that stalks the gloom.
