Kyynel Glaciers (building)

Far from civilization, in the frigid northern wastes of Katraddia holds a beautiful sight. Massive glaciers which appear to extend endlessly into the horizon impose the feeling of insignificance on any who pass by. In 1053, the first Aversarian explorer to both discover and live to tell the tale of Katraddia's north was Constantinos 'the Lost' Axandos. After being led to the general vicinity by rather reluctant tribal guides native to the region, Constantinos later wrote of being shocked by the sheer size of the glaciers. However, whether his tale of almost crystal clear ice containing frozen objects within, which appeared to look like 'perfectly formed teardrops', is anyone's guess. After returning from the glaciers, Constantinos reported that his native guides began a strange ritual, as if in prayer to some deity. His notes conclude with a small remark about snow starting to set in not long after this.
