The Hoarfrost Wastes

In the far east, past Stol, lay the beyond treacherous Hoarfrost Wastes.  No expedition has ever returned after they set out to find what lies on  the other side of the  plains of frost and constant blizzards. Old  tales are told of people who live in the unforgiving regions but if they  exist, they are long dead or moved on to hospitable lands.
