The Ice Flow
This enigmatic sliver of ice stretches from the Stoneheart Ice Plateau to the lowlands of the Waymarches. While glaciers normally move very slowly, this one is comparatively swift, having appeared only recently, with a tower of ice at the head of the flow. It has moved precipitously through a narrow pass of the Stonehearts toward The Plains of Waymarch.
In fact, the Ice Flow is a magical flow of icy waters from the River Cocytus itself that broke through from Kainus, a realm of the Nine Hells. Created when the Ice Palace of Perfidium broke through into the mortal realms in the southern part of the Stoneheart Ice Plateau, the Ice Flow brings atop it the Accursed Ice Tower of Kal-Tior on a march down to The Plains of Waymarch and, eventually, the Grimburg. The route of the Ice Flow is the only access from The Plains to the Stoneheart Ice Plateau beyond, but it has become a hellish trek haunted by spirits escaped from the underworld, frost men, yetis, ice worms, and other horrors of the Icy Hell of Kainus, in addition to the threat of natural hazards such as jagged fissures and flesh-freezing Hell-borne winds.
