Glacoria is a vast, frozen expanse serving as the world's primary defense against the encroaching Fire Empire of Ignissar. Its landscape is defined by permafrost, towering glaciers, and ancient ruins where magic remains common. The populace is highly disciplined and values endurance above all. Life here revolves around the shard-bonding traditions, where souls are linked to ice-crystals to bolster magical potency and survival in the biting, polar winds.
