The North



The alvan northern ice floe, also known as floe 17, isn't actually an ice floe, but rather a massive plateau, formerly the top of a massive mountain sheared in half due to some ancient battle thousands of years before the great floods. Home to the wandering tribes of the Voltaic Wood, the Vol’werhh, as well as the City 4 Brigade of Penguin Aarakocra known as the Pikapak.

The Voltaic Wood

Formerly a massive, well packed forest, nowadays the voltaic wood is much smaller. Due to massive lightning storms that have mysteriously started blowing into the northern floe, the outer ends of the forest have died enmasse in forest fires. The people of the Voltaic Wood, the Vol’werhh, have taken to retreating into the center of the woods, a massive greenery filled glade said to connect to the center of the fae wild. Those who’ve been to the center, as rare as they might be, say that the entire glade crackles with energy, an electric charge that pierces the skin. The forest itself is home to tons of lizards, birds, and small mammals seen nowhere else on alva, and as such has become the source of interest for the blusterport national research society of magi.

City 4 and Post Seven

City 4 is a massive, ice covered city built into the massive glacier that dominates the top of the north western portion of the north ice floe. Although at first glance its large walls and turrets might be a welcome sight, on further inspection, the true horrors of the place become quickly apparent. Rot and decay haven’t even stopped the massive magi-hazard that is the undead infestation of city 4 from attempting to escape, and the formerly widespread Pikapak legion have massed together to keep the city from breaking out of its dead, cold iron chains.

Post Seven is a massive outpost cut out of the glacier itself, an enormous fortified militant headquarters of ice and snow that the pikapak militia calls home. Formerly scattered, the pikapak have turned a once sprawling ice cave into an even bigger bunker of ice, and due to their acquisition of firearms from armouries inside city 4, they have begun to fortify the place against any forceful intrusion, though they gladly accept help to explore the city and fight back the hordes.
