Coldarra

Coldarra is a large island off the north coast of the Siniadòr, home to the dragon god Malygos, the Spellweaver. It houses the Nexus. Coldarra is only accessible via flying mount or to flying creatures.

Coldarra is the most isolated part and the only inhabited island in Northrend. No one sets foot on Coldarra unannounced or uninvited. The nearest region to the island is Tall tree located to the north of Siniadòr.

Coldarra is an irresistible lure for arcanists. Malygos, the dragon god, is unquestionably the most powerful arcane spellcaster in all Toriel, and designed not only most spells but the theories behind them. His libraries could make any mage powerful beyond their dreams, and even a few words with the ancient amethyst dragon could grant power and wisdom most mortals never achieve.

Island, Floating

Description

Coldarra is a large island and has no beaches and no gentle shore — its edges rear up as cliffs from the surrounding water. Most of the island is rock-covered by thick ice, though here and there enough dirt has gathered to produce tough grass or small bushes. The island has no roads or bridges. Dragons used to fly everywhere, and carry guests from place to place. An experienced climber could scale the peaks.

Coldarra has only one real settlement, the Nexus, an extensive series of caves and tunnels that riddle the region and home to the amethyst dragon god Malygos. Al those cave and tunnels centered on the nexus, which is the bulk of the dragon god home.

Coldarra is a suiting name for this island as it is entirely made of ice, with great jagged peaks that rise from the cold ocean like pale blue fangs. Although it seems a harsh place, the dragon god live here. Probably the cold doesn't bother him as he is the only inhabitants in the island, with the exception of the occasional sheep or mountain goat. Rumors say that visitors sometimes stay to study with Malygos or record his tales, but no one settles permanently as the dragons don't allow it.

A great number of spells, woven by Malygos himself protect the island, making it almost impossible to find and penetrate.

Features

History

Legend tell Malygos, created the spells that set the sky and the earth into motion. Harnessing the world's magic and developing these spells took millennia. He settled in some icy cliffs during that time, a place that would be later known as Coldarra. Other amethyst dragons joined him, though many lived elsewhere in the north, those who joined him named the place Coldarra.

There is an old human legend that says at some point a few centuries back, a human came to Coldarra to see Malygos. This man was a scholar and wished to exchange ideas. The great dragon chose to see him, and had the man flown to the Nexus. For months they communed and formed a great friendship, but then the man returned to the world and his duties. He came back several times.
