The fire: Lavastorm. The ice: Everfrost. Both of these areas have for Ages stood for places of hardship, determination and the will to survive.

Modern Norrath has only recently regained access to both of these regions and we are still learning what new experiences they hold for us. One thing hasn't changed: they can be deadly.
Lavastorm lies to the northeast of the Enchanted Lands, in the same approximate position it held before the Rending. The sea surrounding it is known as the Cauldron.

To the far north of Norrath stands Everfrost within the Fanged Sea. As they are opposites in temperature, it is fitting that they exist on opposite sides of Norrath.
To say Lavastorm is hot and dry is to say the seas are wet. Pumice ash clouds waft over the island, cloaking the slopes of Mount Solusek.

At the other extreme is Everfrost, a frozen wasteland of jagged icy peaks, glaciers and blizzards.

Where Lavastorm swirls with choking ash, Everfrost is swept by needles of ice. They are both inhospitable regions.
Many would think that no flora could survive in either location. And yet, bold crusts of lichens take root where they can.

Gnarled pines, twisted and misshapen by the winds still live, albeit in stunted form. The lands lie ravaged, and yet the struggle of life continues to give us hope that we too can survive despite the conditions.
The predators of Lavastorm are as shadowed as the lands. Golems of stone and fire trundle through the jagged by-ways and other as-yet-undiscovered creatures grumble in the deeps.

Where icy winds are blocked by upthrust glacial formations, Everfrost provides limited shelter to the sheep, wolves and constructs that are its denizens.
