Glacierfield Wastes

''"Contrary to popular belief, not a waste." - Environmentalist.''

The Glacierfield Wastes are a large expanse of permafrost and glacial flat in the northern region of the Killer Kingdom. The Glacierfield Training Facility is located there, but other than that, the area is quite devoid of interesting features, despite some high-level monsters.

Geography
The Wastes are primarily steep, icy slopes, the altitude gradually climbing as you get farther from civilization. There is a large glacier in the middle, and it is a mostly barren feature, and the rocky terrain surrounding it is where most of the animals and plants live. On the highest peak in the Wastes, in the Northern corner, lies the Glacierfield Training Facility, operated by the Killer Kingdom's Royal Army.

Biology
The Glacierfield Wastes are not a place for biological variety, rather the indisputable quality of what lives there. There are known to be three distinct species that roam the Wastes. Most friendly (and that is meant in strictly relative terms) is the Wendigo. Also known as "tundra terrors", Wendigos do not possess a corporeal form, and therefore are only recognized when it is too late. The spectral beings possess the minds of their victims, driving them into a mad servitude, sending them diving off of cliffs and burying themselves in snow, until the Wendigo can then consume the victim's dying soul. Luckily, the Wendigo is rarely seen. Common to the Wastes, but much more dangerous is the Icevil. The Icevil is nothing more than an enormous flying animate ice block, that can disguise itself as hanging rock, and then come crashing down upon victims. Their lethality comes from their sheer abundance. Lastly, there is a monster known only as the Winter Scythe. During a period of one month in winter, a creature of immense size and strength erupts from the centre of the glacier in the middle of the Wastes. Its cry can be heard throughout the Killer Kingdom, and it is the most pressing threat to the Glacierfield Training Facility. Nobody knows what it is, other than it appears only during that one month, and that it is unbelievably powerful.
