The Frostbound Spires comprise a jagged, vertical landscape locked in a perpetual ice age. Spanning over a hundred miles, this region is defined by lethal altitudes and blinding blizzards. Low magic means inhabitants rely on physical grit rather than arcane warmth. Settlements are hovels tucked into canyons or fortresses carved into granite. Survival is the primary currency, and the silence of the high peaks is often broken only by the crack of shifting glaciers.
