Gelid Plains

The southernmost region of the Ulgu continent, the Gelid Plains are a frost strewn tundra. Strong icy winds sweep across the landscape from the mountains and only the hardiest creatures can call this area home. The people here are nomadic, following herds of Walerik along the coast. Guides are needed for safe travel as the unstable glacial lands can open up into huge chasms.

Flora and Fauna

The Gelid Plains are home to life both large and small. Great Verglas Trees dot the landscape, their icy leaves never melting. Walerik with their great tusks and short temper are both a threat and boon to those who live nearby their beaching grounds, the marine mammals keep predators away but also will crush anyone who gets too close, they are extremely territorial with leadership battles happening every few months. Rime Stalker hunt in the night, taking the weak and lost without sound or warning.

The People

The nomadic Tu'Kar are a secretive and unfriendly folk. They are constantly on the move, traveling the coastlines following the migration of Walerik. They wear furs and use Walerik for all their tools, homes, and meals. When two or more tribes meet, a great ceremony is held - all warrior class Tu’Kar fight for leadership - much like the Walerik do, the winner is declared Chief and the losers must swim in the icy waters, few survive and drown from exhaustion.
