The Northernmost Point
The peninsula northwest of the silent mountains is one of the coldest areas of E'ath. Only pines can survive the brutal winters; even these trees are small and twisted due to the cold. The water around the peninsula regularly freezes, forcing anyone living here to starve or drill through the ice to fish. Despite this, there are a few small villages of mainly dwarves that have chosen this area as an escape from politics and rulers who care little for the meager trade that flows through these settlements.
Some scholars believe that ice harvested here during especially cold winters has special properties and can be treated so it will never melt. This has yet to be proven in any peer-reviewed journals but some claim that they have done it.
