Glacier Islands

The Glacier Islands is particualrly well thoughtout, so I decided to share it with you/

The Glacier Islands

In the year 3014, the earth was beginning to recover from the centuries of darkness. The evil smokestacks from Earth’s power plants created so much pollution that the sun had been blocked out completely and the earth was plunged into total darkness. As the pollution slowly cleared, the sun was returning bit by bit. 

On the Glacier Islands, which housed savage blizzards ravaging on unpredictably, there lived the Glacier tribe with their leader Glacious. The Glacier tribe was constantly under threat from mysterious monsters (Lumipoo Momps) who lived in a winding underground cave system that was in the foot of the mountain (Momp Mountain). 

The Glacier Islands were so named because the floating islands were located just above Iceland and they were mostly frozen. The group of islands are connected by a system of ice bridges. On the islands, there were flowing rivers and lake systems. The Glacier tribe lived in the Frozen Fortress – a castle-like structure built of ice, which helps them defend themselves. Within the fortress, the Glacier people lived in log cabins made from pine tree.

The Tubsters in this area are white, like polar bears, but can swim like Octopus with their tentacles. They live between Momp Mountain and the Frozen Fortress in the hollowed out trunks of the trees in the pine forest. The forest floor is covered in dangerous black ice. Tubsters often slip off the island to their death.

Why I love this setting
- It shows an appreciation of what the earth might be like if we don't take care of it.
- 'savage blizzards' is a very powerful phrase.
- They've paid attention to the variety of tubster you might find in a cold climate. I love the idea of using their tentacles to swim rather than just to menace.
