Frostbloom Outpost

Perched on a windswept plateau bordered by towering pines, Frostbloom Outpost is a cluster of thick-timber cabins and canvas-wrapped greenhouses huddled around the millstream. Daily life balances hand-to-mouth subsistence with the hope of mastering the harsh land, its people bound by craft and necessity.
