[edit] The Countries
[edit] Adarkar Wastes
The Adarkar Wastes were frozen wastelands between the Yavimaya River and the Kher Ridges.
[edit] Almaaz
Almaaz was a strong city-state and the only "nation" during the Dark that dated from before the Brothers' War. The incoming frost around the beginning of the Ice Age dispersed the humans and allowed a supernatural race of ice-beings called the Rigida to take control.
[edit] Balduvia
The rocky steppes of Balduvia were the home of the Balduvian barbarians. It was called the Malpiri Plains prior to the Brothers' War.
[edit] Boreal
The Boreal was a frozen tundra in the far north of Terisiare, home to the Cult of Rimewind.
[edit] Frost Marsh
Also known as the Lake of the Dead, the Frost Marsh was located just east of where once Ronom Lake had been. It was used by Lim-Dûl to incubate his undead followers.
[edit] Fyndhorn
Fyndhorn was a forest created out of the remains of Argoth. Unlike Argoth it was connected to the mainland because of the lower sea levels during the Ice Age.
- Kelsinko was a city in Fyndhorn.
[edit] Karplusan Mountains
The Karplusan Mountains were the mountain range forming the northern border of Kjeldor. Prior to the Brothers' War this region was known as the Sardian Mountains.
[edit] Kjeldor
Kjeldor was the most powerful nation on Terisiare during the Ice Age, founded by refugees from Storgard. It existed where once Argive, Yotia, and Korlis had been. After the Flood Ages it merged with Balduvia into New Argive. It contained three important cities.
- Kjeld, like the country itself named after Oriel Kjeldos, was once the capital of Kjeldor, but the royal residence eventually moved to Krov.
- Krov was the capital of Kjeldor in its final days.
- Soldev was a semi-autonomous city in the north of Kjeldor, located on the ruins of Storgard. It was destroyed by Lim-Dûl's Phyrexian War Beasts and Soldevi Steam Beasts during the Flood Ages.
[edit] School of the Unseen
The School of the Unseen was an ancient school of magic in western Terisiare. It was called the City of Shadows during the Dark and Lat-Nam during the Brothers' War. It was destroyed during the Flood Ages by Lim-Dûl's forces.
[edit] Storgard
Storgard was an old kingdom that ended up covered in the ice of a massive glacier. Many years after the fall of this kingdom the city of Soldev was built on its ruins.
[edit] Tresserhorn
Lim-Dûl's fortress of Tresserhorn was located over a bottomless pit and built where once the Conclave of Mages, and prior to that the Monastery of Gix, had been.
[edit] Yavimaya Forest
Yavimaya is a forest located on the east bank of the Yavimaya River. It must have formed during the Ice Age for there was only desert in its location during the Brothers' War.
