Schematic map of Hoarfrost Basin.
A high basin where glass-black frozen lakes lie ringed by rime-edged tarns. Fish move slow and fat beneath the ice, and the fisherfolk who work the holes wear every garment they own. The silence here has weight.
Travellers report bears, boars, deer, foxes, lynxes, moose, owls, rabbits, and wolves.
Gatherers come for birch timber, coal seams, copper ore, rich fishing waters, iron ore, mushrooms, pine timber, tin ore, and wild berries.
