Frost Field

The Frost Field is a large stretch of land within both Choustaoblea and Waspesh, where everything is covered with a layer of frost, making even the thickest tree brittle as a thin sheet of ice.   The landscape is rolling hills, forests, rivers, brooks, and even a lake. In the middle of the tundra are ten thin, long mountains with rounded tips called The Reaching Hands, and among them is a small lake by the name of The Cup. The Cup is the only place that is not covered in a simple layer of frost, but rather frozen all the way through. Around The Cup grows crystal-like snowdrops.   Due to the cold, the fauna is generally made up of creatures that easily can manage in the lower temperature range, such as bears, rabbits, and frost giants, and goliaths. When people from colder nations move to Choustaoblea or Waspesh, they like settling in or near the Frost Field.   Although the Frost Field is considered an unhospitable place to most people of Choustaoblea and Waspesh as they're used to a warmer climate, there are people native of the Frost Fields that stay their whole lives without leaving the cold nature behind. There are tribes of goliaths, as well as a well-known clan of druids and rangers that work to preserve what was left behind by trickster goddess Binsu, whom they believe gave them the task of overseeing the area and protecting it from poachers, mages an the like trying to carve pieces out of The Cup for their research and spells, etcetera.   Legend has it, that centuries ago, the fertility goddess Akeah was defeated by the trickster goddess Binsu in the skies above the fields, after they once had been very good friends; the frost was caused by the tears of Binsu falling in The Cup, causing ripples on the surface and spreading out across the land in a wide circular shape. The chill stayed in the air ever since, resulting in an eternal frost covering anything that would ever grow there forever. It is said that the ice in The Cup carry incredible magical properties comparable to nothing except perhaps magic of the most ancient dragons. Binsu has since then never revealed herself to people, not even to her followers, though she still seem to grant them power.   The druids and rangers believe that Binsu cast the spell to give burial to Akeah in the lake, and made it so that most people wouldn't want to tread there to make sure she was left in peace.
