The snowy valleys of the north are a place that offers little comfort for a traveler. The tundra offers empty expanses of wild land, populated by beasts accustomed to the cold weather.

Interspersed among the emptiness are small villages whose inhabitants make a living through mining, hunting for fur or other endeavors. Lately, explorers from the rest of Latakar have began arriving in force, eager to find the ruins hidden under the snow, and the treasure they think is inside them.
