Aelirmu

Aelirmu is a vast wasteland of ice and snow. It is virtually uninhabited save for a collection of whaling stations located on its outlying archipelagos.There are a number of rivers and lakes in Aelirmu, the longest river being the Obsidian. Most of Aelirmu is covered in ice and glaciers.
Point Fear was believed to be the location of a Breach-Gate which led into the Shade. This was confirmed by an expedition to Point Fear, by the Holtzendorf, funded by the Spezielle Forschungsabteilung. Though the mission was deemed to be a failure due to the deteriorating mental state of Dr. Anka Kreiger and others who were on the Expedition.

Geography

Aelirmu is a vast frozen desert. Tere are a few mountain ranges inland but no one has truly went on an expedition to the interior. The majority of the "explored" regions are covered in glaciers.

Fauna & Flora

The only known species on Aelirmu is the Great Auk, various breeds of penguins, seals and other marine life. Scientists believe that there may be sub-glacial lakes heated by thermal vents deep under the ice. Discovery of one of these lakes would be revolutionary in the Biological and Zoological fields, as they would be a time capsule for organisms similar to those that lived during the Deep Night or even earlier.
