Frost is a very cold place, where for eighty percent of the year, the City-State is bathed in the incessant cold winds of the Chill Sea—the cold air constantly blows from the Frozen Sea further north, howling over the towering walls and steep cliffs of Frost, deterring many with its chill.
However, Frost is also the largest City-State of the entire Chill Sea. Despite the cold, the heart of this vast island boasts the richest veins of boiling gold in the northern regions, essential material for the core components in steam engines, even considered as the industrial foundation of the modern era. The industrial system built around the boiling gold mines supports the operation of this northern City-State, bringing it endless wealth and prosperity.
And death.
