The Indraph Rift is situated within a glacial moraine, surrounded by the towering walls of Indraph. It was created when the wizard Igacin sacrificed his soul to power an artifact called the Glacial Throne. This action opened a one-way rift between the worlds of Fimbulwinter and Bal-Kriav. Since then, creatures of the cold, such as Thrallrir, frost giants, white puddings, and winter wolves, have been coming through this gateway. Those who have passed through all describe a compulsion to the rift, as if it taps into their fundamental needs for sustenance and shelter on the other side. Once they cross over, these creatures are inevitably drawn into the ongoing Thrones War, which has raged since 751 to the present day.
The Indraph Rift profoundly influences the climate and terrain surrounding it. Fimbulwinter's frigid energy spills across the rift, drastically reducing temperatures, generating heavy snowfall and unusually expanding glaciers, and transforming the sea into solid ice for a hundred miles along the coastlines.
