Icebeach
The City-States of Icebeach are a collection of towns located in the northwest region of Planet Pythia, on the edge of the Gilded Nations' infrastructure. The City-States are known for their abundant fishing industry, which is a major source of income for the region. Despite being considered a nation, the City-States operate as a loose federation, with each town sending delegates to a council to make decisions for the region as a whole.
The Fridgid Plains is home to most of the City-States, including Howlentop, Shiverwallow, The Fractured Point, Sleetmond, Quilt, Ninor, and the dwarven city of Nil Buldinr, located in the Aurora Mountains. The people of these City-States rely heavily on fishing and farming winter wheat to sustain themselves. The harsh climate of the Fridgid Plains can be difficult to live in, but the people of Icebeach have adapted over time and are able to thrive in the cold.
The Winrich Peninsula, named after the powerful lich who built his castle there, is a rocky region located on the western coast of Icebeach. The rocks of the peninsula are deposits left behind by glaciers that once covered the land, and the area is known for its rugged and inhospitable terrain. Despite its challenges, the Winrich Peninsula is home to a number of hardy communities who have managed to carve out a living in the rocky land.
Culture
The Sugar Maple is an integral part of life in Icebeach, and it is revered as a symbol of strength and resilience. The tree's sap is used to make a variety of sweet treats, including maple syrup, maple sugar, and maple tarts, which are a staple of the Icebeach diet. The maple faire is a time for the people of Icebeach to come together and celebrate the abundance that the Sugar Maple provides.
The maple faire is a festive and joyous occasion, with music, dancing, and feasting taking place throughout the day. The people of Icebeach take great pride in their cultural traditions, and the maple faire is an opportunity for them to showcase their heritage. In addition to the exchange of gifts, there are also contests and games, such as the annual maple syrup-chugging competition, which is a favorite among the younger generation.
The maple faire is also an opportunity for the people of Icebeach to come together and support one another during the harsh winter months. Many families and neighbors will exchange gifts of food and clothing to help each other get through the cold season. The spirit of community and mutual aid is a central part of the Icebeach culture, and the maple faire is a time for the people to come together and reaffirm their commitment to each other.
