<!-- This is actually part of the lore, borrowed here as an intro paragraph-->To say that Everfrost is a desolate arctic wasteland would be quite the understatement. Everfrost was once an arctic range of majestic snow-capped mountains, winding valleys, and ice-blue rivers. Today, it is a frozen purgatory that is both awesome and terrifying in its unearthly majesty.

Titanic glaciers rule this domain, having destroyed all but one of the great Everfrost Peaks in their hungry trek across the broken continent. Blizzards constantly ravage the land, pelting the region with needles of ice as sharp and unpitying as a knight's blade. Funnels of frost and bitter winds often descend from the eternally gray skies, scarring the land in the wake of their destructive rampage.

== Lore ==
The region of Everfrost was torn asunder during the great cataclysm, leaving behind several dangerously scarred isles. An equally perilous lagoon should not be approached without caution, as there have been reports of megalodons patrolling the waters in search of blood.

Halas, home of the northmen, is no more. The city was rent by the celestial fireballs that rained down upon Norrath during the cataclysm. Those who survived the initial disaster either fled the region or were consumed by the unleashed hunger of the land. As time went on, Everfrost turned from an inviting homeland to a treacherous glacial wasteland, devoid of floral plant life or any semblance of mercy.

Everfrost is divided into five valleys separated by tunnels or gulleys.  Travel between each valley is dangerous, and is made considerably easier by invisibility or stealth.  Within each valley, there is considerable space where one can find relative safety.

=== Travel ===
Horse routes are available connecting the four valleys with each other, starting on the mainland where {{POI|Bitterwind Trench}} meets {{POI|Everstorm Bay}}.

There are two routes into the interior sections of the zone:
# '''via Jagged Plains:''' This long route is less dangerous than the alternative, but still requires passing some aggressive animals.  Follow {{POI|Bitterwind Trench}} up to {{POI|Jagged Plains}}.  From Jagged Plains, you can continue to further valleys by a southeast tunnel leading to {{POI|Hollowfrost Grove}}, or by a northwest tunnel leading to {{POI|Guardian's Gulch}}.
# '''via Icewail Caverns:''' The shorter route is more dangerous, and requires invisibility or stealth or the killing of many level 47 monsters. Swim east from {{POI|Stormedge Isle}} into {{POI|Icewail Caverns}}, then look for the cleft that is {{POI|Icewail Pass}}.
