WORLD OF THE WOUND
Beyond the northern passes lies a country where ice and heat are never far apart. Glaciers, black volcanic ground and steaming springs mark the approach to the high ridges beneath the Wound.
Beyond the northern passes lie ice, black stone, steam and distant holds. The glaciers beneath the Wound are neither empty nor still: the game-world field notes describe an ecology adapted to the cold and geothermal ground.
Beyond the northern passes lies a country where ice and heat are never far apart. Glaciers, black volcanic ground and steaming springs mark the approach to the high ridges beneath the Wound.
The northern holds and their watch traditions arise from geography that cannot be ignored. Forts, passages and warnings stand where paths lead towards the high ice. The ARPG documentation adds deeper conflicts and encounters, but those remain unpublished game story.
Snowfield turns abruptly to glassy black rock and geothermal haze. The long northern twilight makes distance hard to judge, while ravines and ice caves interrupt the passable routes. Kelda-Feste and the Frostcrown are named landmarks of the region.
Those who live here are defined by the work of holding routes and weathering the cold. The world notes describe watchkeepers and settlements built around sheltered ground and hot springs, not a generic warrior culture.
Frost grass and dark pines survive in protected ground. Ice eels and steam crawlers are noted among the cold and geothermal habitats. The supernatural creatures of the game bestiary remain identified as planned ARPG content.
Geography and history follow the approved novel and MYRHA compendium. Game-world concept material remains explicitly marked in linked entries.
