Land of Black Ice
At the far edge of the Flanaess is a seemingly endless landscape of blue-black ice, filling the northern horizon beyond the Burneal Forest and Blackmoor. Wild rumors persist about a fabled "City of the Gods" and a land of endless summer somewhere beyond.
At the far edge of the Flanaess is a seemingly endless landscape of blue-black ice, filling the northern horizon beyond the Burneal Forest and Blackmoor. The source of theses rolling fields of ebony ice has never been explained. On the Dramidj coast dwell the Baklunish Guryik folk; on the Icy Sea side are the Zeai, related to the Ice Barbarians. Strange arctic monsters prowl this place, and the few humans living here fear to enter it without strong magical protection. These barbarians speak of evil spirits, black-hide trolls, and horrid wights in this realm. Only the blue bugbears that make their home in the dark lands seem to avoid the life-hating creatures that flourish here. Just outside the Land of Black Ice, where it borders Blackmoor, legends place the infamous City of the Gods. Buildings of iron are said to tower there in a land of artificial balm and warmth, while the cold of winter prevails everywhere else. Other legends tell of a land farther north, on the far side of the Black Ice, where jungles abound and a hazy sun burns unmoving in the sky. Several expeditions were mounted to explore this realm, but no proof of the tales' reality has ever been brought back to civilization.
