Coldmists

Coldmists, the southern pole
A freezing land of ice and rock. Coldmists earned it's name from the constant, lowhanging, icey cold mists. Coldmists is the southern pole of Galianor, and the only of the two poles considered explorable.

While the dangers of the climate mostly comes from the slippery ice, the advantage subterrarian/sea diving predators gain from the lowhanging, and hypothermia from the constant cold. The rare, often forgotten, yet mortaly dangerous peril explorers tend to forget. Is the cold wind known as a Banshee's Wail, (named after the sound the wind makes). A Banshee's Wail is a freezing wind that can give the common man hypothermia in seconds, and the especially brutal Wails freeze them in place within an hour. Like a morbid ice sculpture. The only forewarning of a Banshee's Wail is the sound of one, mere seconds before it arrives.
