NYRAX: The Nyrax is a four-legged beast bred for endurance and loyalty. Standing taller than a warhorse, it has sleek, muscular limbs ending in clawed hooves that can grip stone and ice alike. Its skin is smooth like leather, covered in faint, luminescent streaks that glow faintly at night — a natural magic that helps riders see through the dark.

Instead of a mane, the Nyrax bears a crest of fine wool that shift color with its mood — silver when calm, crimson when angered. Its eyes are large and intelligent, able to see in sunlight and partially in darkness.

MEREVEEN: Mereveen is a fortified city nestled in the foothills of a vast, snow-capped mountain range. It's a place of rough beauty and harsh climate, where the inhabitants have learned to adapt and thrive in one of the most inhospitable regions of the world.

The city is a hub for trade and commerce, attracting adventurers, merchants, and travelers from all over the world.

It's a narrow, winding path that traverses the mountains, known for its steep cliffs, icy slopes, and unpredictable weather. The crossing is infamous for its treacherous conditions, and many who attempt to cross it don't always survive. The name "Shatterpeak" comes from the jagged mountain peaks that surround the pass. Despite the dangers, Shatterpeak Crossing is a crucial trade route, connecting Mereveen to the lands beyond the mountains.

THE FROSTPASS: The Frostpass is a vast, frozen expanse of snow and ice that lies beyond Shatterpeak Crossing. It's a harsh, unforgiving environment, where the cold is so bitter that it can freeze flesh and blood in minutes. The Frostpass is home to fearsome creatures, such as the Wildross, the Creeping Wraith, the Fangless Serpent and many more, and is said to be cursed by the ancient magic that permeates the land. Many believe that the Frostpass is a testing ground for the brave and the strong, where only the most skilled and resourceful travelers can survive. The Frostpass stretches as far as the eye can see, a seemingly endless expanse of white that holds secrets, dangers, and mysteries beyond imagination. The only way out is through the Crystal-edge.
