In the depths of the northern Heavenspan River region was an ice plain that was currently collapsing in on itself. The affected area grew deeper and wider, until an enormous ice crater appeared.

It almost looked like a huge fist had punched down onto the ice, creating an eye-catching scar in the landscape.
