A fragment of the prime material plane that roves The Frost Shepherds, and is sustained by magical tectonic energy. The environment is maintained by a powerful magical barrier operated by Gamma Co.
Gamma Co. is the primary political power in the area. They specialize in the production of magical tools and implants, and are well known throughout the Frost Shepherds as reliable suppliers and ruthless business practices. They may not be as influential as they used to be, but the leaders of Gamma Co. are intent on rebuilding that power.
Also of note in the region is Xander, the proprietor of Xander's Mad Magics. He is the primary quest giver of his faction, and has plans to one day rival Gamma Co. He may not always be the most reliable of suppliers, but he can always find something useful and affordable.
There is also a group more directly opposed to how Gamma Co. runs things. Maze is doing their best to relieve the immoral practices of Gamma Co. with sabotage of supply lines and factories, and attempting infiltration for gathering sensitive information. Any who ally themselves with Gamma Co. are acceptable casualties for taking them down.
The final group is Storm of Vengeance, a group of eco-terrorists intent on mitigating the environmental damage of Gamma Co.'s activities. They make attempts to intercept waste disposal and prevent the theft of sensitive natural resources before Gamma Co. can cause problems. They vehemently object to any and all natural exploitation within the region.
