A semicircle of snow-capped mountains in the shape of a crescent moon, the Deepen Dale lies north of the Drunken Frith. These mountains mark the beginning of the arctic zone; harsh weather and low temperatures characterize this area.
Megafauna including mammoths and other giant mammals inhabit the region, as well as stranger creatures including catoblepas. Yetis make their homes in the mountains as well; they are peaceful, albeit not very intelligent, and can be commisioned as guides in exchange for food.
