The Imoreith Tundra is a vast expanse of snow and ice, located in the north-west of the continent. It's situated at a high elevation in the grip of a perpetually cold climate. So far, the only known way to reach it is by taking dangerous passes up from the Elifga valley. The tundra is always covered in a thick layer of snow with a few small scrubs and grasses. It's generally desolate and rocky, with the white patched ground stretching in all directions. There are a few low hills and sometimes mysterious piles of massive rocks, the purpose of which is unknown. The air seems thinner and more frigid here, and has a very strange feeling too it, which people have a hard time describing. The whole of Imoreith tundra is well known for being enveloped in bizarre phenomenon involving sounds. In general, every sound seems to resonate here, echoing long across the snows; though in some areas there are no sounds at all. These areas appear to be distributed entirely randomly; one could suddenly have conversations cut off or amplified to a painfully loud volume by simply walking a few feet.
