Arachnida Ice
Watched over by Zriss (f) and Ice Smeltir
Habitat:
Arachnida Ice are the icy wastelands beyond the Fylaris Mountains. It is
the area closest to the north pole of the planet and it is covered with
ice and snow all year round. Close to the base of the mountains, a few geysers
and warm water springs were found where the unlucky humans who drew a
short straw in the lottery reside. It is uncommon that humans stay on
Arachnida the entire year, mostly they migrate south into the mountains,
and sometimes even into the neighbouring forests when winter comes. The
Ice Dragons are free to stay, but usually they follow their bonds, making
a few trips back and fro as the winter progresses.
Life forms:
The Dragons: Ice
Dragons
Appearance: Ice Dragons are the only dragons who posses 6 limbs.
One set of arms has extra feathers to warm the upper body, the lower set
of arms has small glider wings that serve as stabilisers on the slippery
surfaces of Arachnida. They have a long fuzzy tail they can wrap around
their face when they sleep to isolate the only spot their warm fur wings
don't cover. Ice Dragons spend long times a sleep in the wild, almost like
a winter sleep, but these extended periods are quite random, only the
bonded dragons share the sleep patterns of the humans. Most male ice
dragons live solitary, the females live in small groups of 2 to 3 along
with their respective children.

The Pets: Ice
Dwarves
Ice Dwarves are cunning little creatures. They enjoy the cold and more
than once frighten humans by dropping down from above, one cold hand
extended, reaching for the neck of their victim. Once you tame one though
they are a great help carrying messages and finding people. They have an
above average intelligence for pets and can even be taught a few words to
express themselves with.
