Itharalis: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 19:06, 21 February 2025

Itharalis, the Realm of Ice, is a land of eternal cold, vast glaciers, and frozen oceans, where time itself seems frozen beneath the unyielding frost. Unlike the harsh, wind-blasted tundra of Norvaskr, Itharalis is a place of silence and stillness, where the air is thin, and nothing moves except the slow, inevitable crawl of the ice.

It is a realm of preservation and isolation, where the past is locked away in its ancient frozen vaults, untouched by time.

Geography

Itharalis’s landscape is dominated by ice, with no warmth to break its endless expanse.

- The Endless Glacier – The heart of Itharalis, a vast ice sheet stretching into infinity, where even the sky reflects the pale blue of the ice. - The Frozen Abyss – A deep, ice-covered ocean, its depths hidden beneath an unbreakable surface, where only the most ancient creatures stir. - The Crystal Spires – Towering formations of pure, translucent ice, glowing with an eerie luminescence under the eternal twilight. - The Silent Vaults – Caverns of ice where entire civilizations, frozen in time, remain perfectly preserved beneath the surface. - The Skybound Shards – Massive, floating icebergs, suspended in frigid air currents, drifting slowly across the realm.

Climate & Atmosphere

Itharalis is a realm of absolute, unbroken cold, where ice never melts, and time has no hold.

- Unchanging Frost – The temperature is perpetually below freezing, and the air is thin, crisp, and almost unbreathable. - No Wind, No Storms – Unlike Norvaskr’s harsh, howling winds, Itharalis is a realm of stillness, where the air is almost eerily calm. - The Eternal Twilight – The sky is never fully bright nor fully dark, caught in an endless, pale twilight, reflecting the unchanging nature of the ice. - Frozen Time – In some parts of Itharalis, the ice holds memories, places, even people from ages past, trapped in perfect preservation.

The Spirit of Glacian

Glacian, known as the Cold Guardian, is the Ascended Spirit of Itharalis, embodying the stillness of ice, the weight of time, and the quiet, unshaken presence of the frozen world.

- Glaciandoes not rage like storms or flow like rivers—he simply remains. - He is said to be a towering figure of frost and crystalline ice, his eyes reflecting the memories locked away in the glacier’s depths. - Unlike other spirits, Glaciandoes not speak—his silence is the weight of history itself.

Mythology & Legends

- The Frozen Watchers – Some believe that figures trapped within the ice of Itharalis still dream, their minds alive while their bodies remain forever sealed. - The Icebound Prophecy – It is said that a great truth is hidden within the deepest vault of Itharalis, locked away where only Ithralis can reach. - The Silent Ones – Travelers who remain too long in Itharalis may lose their voices, their breath stolen by the frost, joining the realm in its eternal silence.

Connection to Other Realms

Itharalis sits at the edge of time itself, a land where the past is never lost, only frozen away.

- To the Tundra of Norvaskr – The frozen plains give way to the howling winds, where ice meets resilience. - To the Depths of Thalassor – The frozen oceans of Itharalis touch the abyssal waters of Thalassor, where the deep sea and the frozen void are one. - To the Storms of Aetheris – At the highest peaks of Itharalis, the cold skies blend into the storm-wracked heavens, where lightning dances upon the ice.

Influence on Adaris

Itharalis is revered as a realm of history, preservation, and the cold truth of eternity.

- Seers and scholars believe that the greatest secrets of the past are locked away in its frozen depths. - Nomads and mystics travel to its edges, hoping to glimpse the faces of those lost to time, their stories preserved in the ice. - It is said that if you stare into the heart of Itharalis long enough, you will see the past—and perhaps your own fate, frozen in the reflection.

"The Ice Remembers, Even When the World Forgets"

A saying among those who revere Ithralis, reminding all that nothing is truly lost—only preserved, waiting to be uncovered once more.
