Everfrost Peaks

Everfrost Peaks is a permanently frozen area of frequent snowfalls and constant snow cover. It is the northernmost zone, and is adjacent to the home of the barbarians, Halas. It is also adjacent to the gnoll home of Blackburrow, where all must pass if they want to enter the lands surrounding Qeynos, and Permafrost, a higher level dungeon to the east. Everfrost can be safely divided into two subzones, the canyons and the plains.

The canyons represent the newbie area for Halas. They are a twisting area of high ridges and very few open areas through which the lower level monsters move. This is also where the entrance to both Halas and Blackburrow lies.

The plains are a much vaster and more dangerous area. They lie to the east of the canyons and stretch for quite a ways further east before ending in the mountains. The only place further east is Permafrost. A frozen river divides this area into eastern and western halves, and ruins of an ancient civilization are scattered throughout the region.
