Istros Borealis

A large icy continent north of the known world. It is most infamously known for the World Eater crater, a highly irradiated zone. The fauna that roams these cold planes are ferocious and grotesque, scaring away any who dares step foot.

Discovery

Early seafaring Elves from Esuna had mapped the cliffsides of the continent as early as approximately 2200 AT. However, after spotting grotesque creatures and measuring radiation on their exploring crew, the Sylvan Realm council has deemed it uninhabitable to the point of disallowing others to step foot on it. They feared the region to be a graveyard of the gods and would invite angry spirits to their lands if disturbed.

In the mid 1st century, approximately 27 PT, the science vessel Mistbreaker had rediscovered this region as evident from the found journal kept by explorer scientist Elrune Leonelis aboard it. The ship and its crew were never found, however.

Notable Locations

World Eater

A gigantic crater that seems to be the center point of emanating radiation. The Arcanum mineral is said to have originated here.
