A Frozen Land
The Snow Kingdom is a world of ice and snow that freezes the body but dazzles the eyes. Stay alert though—one bad step can drop you into the dangerously frigid sea. Despite the cold, the town of Shiveria is famous for its warm hospitality, and on clear days, the view can’t be matched.
A Warm Community
Shiveria is a huge excavated settlement beneath the ice. It’s warmer here than up above, but you’ll want to bundle up all the same.
Despite the cold, the cheerful Shiverians will thaw any traveler’s frozen heart. And if you visit the center square, you’ll see the fiery passion the Shiverians have for their traditional races. Take one look at the screens showing the action, and you’ll be caught up in the excitement too!
Three Keys to the Kingdom
- Swim only in short bursts if you like being warm enough to stay alive.
- Dig for the gate to the town, which is frequently buried in the snow.
- Bound your way through a race (build and species permitting).
Bound Bowl Grand Prix
THE sporting event here is the Bound Bowl Grand Prix. Only Shiverians are allowed to participate, but when you watch a race, you’ll understand why no one else COULD participate. Only Shiverian sturdiness could survive a race based on bounding violently through the course and crashing into one another. Be sure to see it if you get a chance!
Icing and Racing
Beyond racing, Shiverians are known for elaborate baked goods. Especially renowned is the Frost-Frosted Cake, which is very popular at weddings. By tradition, only the Shiverian Elder is allowed to make this extraordinary confection. What’s more, they are specifically created as the grand prize for the Bound Bowl Grand Prix, so the only way to get one is to convince the winner to let you have it.
Crevasse Menace
Lurking in the local crevasses you may find a Bitefrost. These creatures move through the ice under their prey, then thrust upward, chomping. Caution (and jumping ability) is advised.
