Frostfound
"Towers and ramps and galleries and stairs of ice, raised and spun like an architect's honey-dream. No spider ever wove so complex a web. The towers are utterly pristine, untouched by human life, but a pitiable encampment squats by the dock."
Frostfound is an ice castle located in the Northwest area of the Unterzee.
I Still Have My Question
Frostfound consists of two towers, the tower of Brite and the tower of Teneb. The towers are linked by the Diamond Bridge.
Every year the people of Irem and Whither meet here for contests; they are trying to determine the difference between a question and a riddle. Those who prove themselves in the contests can enter the castle, which is sacred ground, but nobody has done so yet.

"Light! A hundred rich and blinding colours filter through the ice. It's like drinking a kaleidoscope. It's like being kidnapped by rainbows. The colours shift with every step you take, revealing shining corridors. In each and every corridor, your reflection waits."
Any explorer foolhardy enough to enter will likely find their mind slowly degrading as the frozen castle eats their memories and stories. But then again, sanity is the cardinal price for knowledge. Within the deep corridors of the castle lie the secrets of the gods, but let's just say they don't like having their secrets discovered.
It's possible that this castle, along with the other, was erected by the Traveller on his way East.
The Corridors of Frostfound:
- The Sapphire Chamber: "THIS WAS THE SKY"
- The Amethyst Gallery: "THERE WERE CASUALTIES"
- The Cavity: "THIS IS ONLY A MEMORY. THE CRIME IS FORGOTTEN. ITS SHADOW REMAINS"
- The Emerald Vista: "SOMETHING SOUGHT, SOMETHING LOST"
- The Iridescence: "KNOW YOURSELF"
- The Dark Room, the very center of Frostfound.
