HistoryEdit
DescriptionEdit
Eiselcross is considered part of Wildemount overall, but it is a frozen arctic area separated from the mainland by the Frigid Depths.[4]
The ballista used in Bazzoxan was partially constructed from "something" recovered in Eiselcross.[5]
PlacesEdit
Eiselcross contains two very small ice fishing villages that are expansions of the Dwendalian Empire. Aside from those, it is mostly uninhabited and unvisited.[6]
FaunaEdit
Eiselcross holds many creatures that have spent a millennia or more living there and are extremely dangerous.[7]
