      |  As the oceans rose and flooded the land during the Shattering, |
      |  part of the landmass drifted south. The sea currents pushed    |
      |  the land closer to the Tip of the World. As the water around   |
      |  the landmass froze, the drifting stopped.                      |
      |                                                                 |
      |  Lost to the world as a whole, Otherland has become a frozen    |
      |  waste where the task of daily survival consumes almost all     |
      |  activity. None live here in comfort. They listen to the rumble |
      |  of their empty stomachs and pray they do not end the day       |
      |  lining the stomach of another. The natives eke out a rough     |
      |  life. Those unfamiliar with the land are guaranteed to tread a |
      |  difficult path.                                                |
