The Icy Vastness is a frigid, Arctic realm within Faerie. It is among the realms of the Pitiless Elements.
Background[]
Trapped in unending winter, this domain is comprised of open plains, forestry, and small communities. At its center is an immense fortress that dwarfs its surroundings. Within this fortress, in its throne room, is the True Fae who rules the Vastness. All the buildings of this place are constructed from sheets of ice, and any attempt to reduce the strength of the cold will inevitably fail. Even fire does not warm as it should.
The changelings who are trapped here struggle for survival, desperate for food and shelter. Particularly rich hunting grounds are common battlegrounds among the communities of the Vastness. Airtouched and Snowskin Elementals, cold-adapted Beasts, and Ogres are commonly produced by this realm.
