Ice wastes

The vast majority of Eln is made up of the Ice Wastes. They are constantly shifting huge masses of ice that separate the continents and make travel between them difficult and dangerous. These wastes are also the coldest places on Eln and subject to frequent blizzards and storms Very little can live in the ice wastes, although there are rumours in Durmgrist of a city rising out of it, although these claims are so far unproven.

Ecology
Due to it's inhospitality very few things live in the ice wastes. Scorchshell turtles use the heat they generate to melt the ice and swim through it, allowing them travel across the ice. Kaiju also roam the ice, being tough enough to survive anywhere, although as they have now mostly adapted to it, they now stay away from the continents which is good for the sentient races of Eln. A race of incredibly tough boars have adapted to live on the edges of the ice waste around Durmgrist. They are unable to survive much deeper into the ice wastes. There is also a cave within the ice wastes capable of supporting life usually found within the continents. So far all that's known about this cave is that mammoths live inside it.
