The Silent White

“There’s no death in the Silent White — not because it’s safe, but because even death avoids it.”

The Silent White is an unbroken tundra stretching across the northernmost reaches of the world, beyond the icy waters of the Frozen Depths. The region is devoid of life, warmth, and sound. It is an eternal wasteland of snow, ice, and silence — so cold, so remote, and so desolate that even dragons avoid its touch.

This land is not haunted by monsters or warped by chaotic magic. Its threat lies in its purity: there is nothing. No shelter. No food. No warmth. No hope. It is a place where survival magic flickers and fails, and even the gods seem distant.
