The Frozen Marches are a desolate expanse of jagged ice and wind-scoured tundra serving as a perilous gateway to the northern reaches. Small, resilient communities cling to the rocky shoreline, relying on seafaring and magic to survive the relentless blizzards. This frontier attracts outcasts, mages seeking frost-preserved secrets, and mercenaries guarding trade caravans. Though resources are scarce, the recent discovery of glowing blue mana-ice has sparked a new gold rush despite the lethal, freezing environment.
