Great Glacier

Great Glacier, also called Pelvuria was a large mass of frozen land in northeast Faerûn.

It was created in -2550 DR by the necklace of Ulutiu, an enchanted necklace created by the god Ulutiu himself to encase his body in ice when he departed to the Astral Sea. .

It was once the kingdom of giants (the city of Gharreil was a testimony to it).

As of 1359 DR, it hosted several distinct societies in Alpuk, Angalpuk, Nakvaligach, and Novularond.

Portal to the Ruins of Gharreil
A featureless sheet of ice deep inside a crevice in the Great Glacier marked the entrance to the ruined city of Gharreil. In shadow and darkness, the ice appeared black, but when directly illuminated by the sun overhead, it appeared bright blue and an inscription was revealed. This inscription was written in a large circle on the smooth ice wall, in characters of the ancient giant tongue.

"The city of Gharreil, seat of the Satrap of the Great Glacier, loyal servant of the Emperor of Jhothûn. May the qorrash smile upon it and nurture its mighty works, and continue to favor all of Jhothûn. Let no thieves or heretics enter this gate, for both suffer death in this city."
