Yal Tengri

The Yal Tengri, also known as the Great Ice Sea, is an arm of the ocean that covers the north pole of Toril. All sorts of cold-loving creatures are found in its waters.

The sea is open for about six months of the year. Fall brings rapidly dropping temperatures and the water gradually freezes over. In the winter the Yal Tengri is basically a sheet of ice, broken only by a few dangerous shifting ribbons of open water. As spring dawns, icebergs calve off the permanent ice cap and the melting begins.
