1. Overview
Entnake’s End is a vast and desolate expanse of unyielding ice and snow, forming the southern polar cap of Staterum. Its name derives from the legend of Entnake, the elemental Goddess of Fire, who is said to have fled to this remote land to spare the mortal world from the unintentional destruction wrought by her immense power. At its core lies the Sea of Creation, a near-boiling body of water surrounded by towering glaciers and endless ice plains, serving as the region’s only habitable refuge.
2. Regions
- Sea of Creation: A paradoxical marvel at the heart of Entnake’s End, it’s near-boiling waters, surrounded by glaciers and endless ice plains, serve as the only hospitable region in this otherwise barren expanse. According to legend, the warmth of the sea is fueled by the lingering flames of Entnake, making it a sacred and mysterious locale. Around its shores, strange beings unique to this land are said to have formed basic settlements.
- Gigas Island: Caught just within the perpetual ice shelf encircling Entnake’s End, Gigas Island is the rugged homeland of the region’s Goliaths. The island’s harsh environment has shaped its inhabitants into a resilient and formidable people, adept at surviving in one of the harshest climates in Staterum.
- Charon Peninsula: Charon Peninsula is a desolate stretch of land piercing the ice shelf into Entnake’s End. A strategic gateway into this frozen continent, it is both a natural barrier and a passage into the unknown. Windswept and barren, the peninsula serves as the first challenge for any who seek to venture deeper into the icy wastes.
3. Description
The perimeter of Entnake’s End is marked by treacherous stretches of ice shelves that jut into the frigid waters, forming a natural barrier against would-be explorers. Only one prominent spit of land pierces this icy ring, located directly south of Western Kair’Thear, serving as the only known entry point into the continent. Sparse populations inhabit this unforgiving land, including the Ice Giants who have adapted to its harsh interior and the Goliaths who dwell along its peripheries, living on the fringes of this frozen frontier.
Entnake’s End stands as a stark testament to the extremities of nature—a place where survival is an achievement and where the legend of Entnake’s self-imposed exile infuses the icy landscape with an air of divine mystique.
