Shores of Thaelenk



to copy the idea from @superfrog ...

From the Compendium:
The Thaelenk Tundra is an unfriendly region of ice and snow that stretches into the Dragon Head Sea. Previous travelers tell tales of monstrous snow hunters that hide in the mountains coming out to swing their weapons and hurl boulders of ice at them. Travel in the tundra is wisest during the summer solstice, even though the mountain snow never melts and sudden storms of ice and wind make every journey here a perilous one. It is common to see frozen souls entombed in monoliths of ice along the way. Approaching the tundra from the valley floor is a formidable sight. Spires of ice tower above the landscape and pierce the sky ominously, while the Dzu-Teh scream their war-cries. However, where the valley meets the tundra, it is the Storm of Frozen Shards that is the most deadly foe. Warm valley wind swirling with the tundra frigidness form frozen shards of ice that spiral down from the sky like stalactite spears, some as large as the warriors themselves. Violent storms have kept all but the most determined armies from occupying the wellspring in the Thaelenk Tundra. This wellspring is so powerful, that it is not unusual for warriors who drink from it to triple their powers. Some warriors think it is because the water has been frozen. Others think it is because the strange aura that glows from the glaciers. The only thing that is agreed upon is that the tundra is inhospitable and the winter storms can decimate an entire army very quickly. In the vast wasteland of the northern tundra Thaelenk, lies a great Jandarian stronghold. Few have ever tried to oppose it. None have even succeeded in making it to the fortress doors; for in that frozen, desolate land dwell the wild Dzu-Teh.

Map Backstory:
The rocky shores of Thaelenk hint at the towering spires of ice that lay inland. Frozen souls can be seen entombed in large boulders of rock and ice which lay strewn about. Dzu-Teh faintly scream in the distance as two small armies meet, vying for control of power glyphs recently uncovered by the shifting ice and rock.
