Risia, the Plain of Ice

The counterpoint to Fernia, Risia embodies winter’s chill and the stoic constancy of the glacier. Across Risia’s icy expanse, blizzards ceaselessly howl over floes of thick, blue ice, and frost giants carve great fortresses from glaciated mountains. Unprotected visitors perish quickly, but those who adapt to the cold or protect themselves from it can plumb the plane’s frigid depths for ancient secrets.

Risia Manifest Zone Features
d4 Feature
1 Spells that deal cold damage are empowered here. Such a spell of 1st level or higher cast within the zone deals cold damage as if it were cast at a level one higher than the spell slot that was expended.
2 Veins of cobalt-blue ice run through a glacier in the area. If extracted, this ice maintains its temperature and doesn’t melt. An object carved from it can function as a spellcasting focus for spells dealing with water or ice.
3 Abominable yetis lair in a network of bitterly cold, frost-rimed caves in the mountains.
4 Any spell that deals fire damage deals just half the normal damage.
