Environment
A prehistoric glacier of the north wastes, where strange creatures, monsters and wild folk who know no metal. zin other lands some cold dwelling monsters will try to invade lowlands with rapid crawling glaciers floiwing down mountains to crush civilisation. Such forces use cold, weather, water and air magic to grow the glacier and its conditions. Walls are of deep white, blue or green ice. The ground may be ice or ground down rocks into pebbles and muddy slush. Doors may be made of ice or whicker framed hides or fur curtains. Tunnels can be slippery and cold. If you get wet it is even worse. You can smash trhough some walls and in deep areas may be more rock or caves. It is in a state of change and as it moves and mnelts prehistoric things are awakened.
