The
Ivory Glacier is a large ice formation on the southern slopes of
Mösön Uul in the
Drackhan Tundra of
Tarteria. The
Urskan Crevasse is located here, which has significance to the fabled Urskans of Hobgoblin folklore.
Description
Mösön Uul is a large and old mountain of the
Drackhan Tundra. The slopes of the mountains are very gradual, and the erosion along the sides have created several long and shallow gorges.
Snow and ice has filled most of the gorges with ice and glaciers. The largest and most prominent of these is the Ivory Glacier on the mountain's southern slope. The ice of the glacier is expansive, leading from high up the moutain slopes and down towards the
Ice Ways.
There is a massive chasm located in the glacier, where the
Urskan Crevasse is found. According to old myths and legends, this opening was first formed when the glacier was struck by an incredibly massive axe.
History
The Third Age: The Age of Zenethia
At some point, a settlement of urskans occupied the
Urskan Crevasse of the Ivory Glacier. During this time, they mined the metal ores of
Mösön Uul.
At some unknown point, the Crevasse was attacked and occupied by frost giants, which either killed or drove out the uskans of the area.
Based on supplies found within the Crevasse, it is believe that ships have been crashing on the coast of the
South Sea and scavenged for supplies, materials, and bodies by the giants and trolls of the mountain since at least as early as around the
Great War.
The Fourth Age: The Age of Shadow
At some point in the late Fourth Age,
Hagillr, the Lone Hailstone, became the frost giant in charge of the Urskan Crevasse. It is unknown if Hagillr was originally from the area or came to occupy it later. Hagillr is believed to have been the last of his clan.
The Fifth Age: The Age of Beginnings
During the early Fifth Age, the society of trolls under Hagillr continued to scavenge shipwrecks on the southern Tarterian coast.
On 12 Naerui 5A 023, Hagillr used the
Horn of Storms to sink and shipwreck
Grand Khan Drack's fleet. Trolls attacked the wreck of the
Vikramadi, taking suppies, survivors, and bodies back to Mösön Uul.
After,
Kholvek Vundruk,
Braavak,
Ganbaatar, and
Chotgorrin followed the trail of the trolls to the mountain. They infiltrated the Urskan Crevasse and rescued Grand Khan Drack before collapsing the glacier and killing Hagillr.
During the years after this, expeditions would begin digging into the Crevasse. One such expedition would recover Hagillr's Horn of Storms, which would eventually be incorporated into the Vikramadi at
Frozen Fleet Post.
