At a Glance
The ice-covered northern reaches of the Anauroch Desert.
Oxbow Lake and Nyanza Lake —now known as Wyrm Rift and the Rift of Stars— once marked the southern edge of the Reghed Glacier. During the phaerimm assault on Netheril, most of the water in the realm vanished. This altered the circulation of wind and dramatically cooled the local climate. The ice advanced southward to fill in the void left by the vanishing Narrow Sea. This finger of the glacier has sat unchanging (except to grow slowly thicker) for a thousand years or more, now, and has became known to the lands around as the High Ice.
There are many crevasses on the High Ice, and they are deadly treacherous places. The greatest and most terrifying are the named rifts. Rivers and lakes once lay here; the water is gone but the ice has grown over and around them without filling them in. In many places, only a thin shelf of ice, covered with a dusting of snow, holds the unwary explorer above a yawning abyss… often hundreds of feet deep and lined with long spikes of ice.
