Background

Left to legends, snow elves are believed to be extinct by everyone, even by other elves. Why they went extinct is a mystery to other races, but it happened thousands of years ago. They aren't even in human histories anymore—a myth. For their southern brothers, they are a distant memory, but even they begin to doubt whether they ever existed. How did the snow elves go? In simplicity and silence — in seclusion beyond the northern sea, on ice sheets where life is hard, and low fertility rates did not help them. Snow elves simply died out. Helka is one of the last snow elves, if not the last one. Raised by her mother, she barely learned how to live before she was left alone, her mother's grave dug in the ice by her father's — a man she never even knew. Ever since, she has been nearly alone; her only companion is the semi-sentient fenrir Gaera — a huge wolf with amber eyes, who replaced her mother and taught Helka how to track and hunt.

Northern Wastes: Nearly lifeless expanse bound in forever-winter and ice. Only rare, resilient animals live here, their primary diet is fish. The landscape is dotted with ancient, lifeless and empty stone ruins of the civilization that inhabited it tens of thousands years ago.
