Risia , called the Plane of Ice , is a plane that is layer upon layer of snow and ice with a constant blizzard raining down new layers of sleet snow and ice from a dark grey-clouded sky. [2]
Description
Risia is a plane composed primarily of ice. The very atmosphere freezes the lungs and steals away the breath. The average temperature on Risia is 0 ℉ (−18 ℃ ). On any given day, there is a 50% chance of extreme weather in the form of snow, sleet, hail, or a blizzard. [1]
Dragons , giants , and treasures are thought to be forever preserved within the ice. [3]
Inhabitants
- Risia is the home of various ice-based demons and devils , including gelugons and ice mephits . [1]
- Elementals such as chraals , immoths , and ice paraelementals thrive on Risia. [1]
- Even in the bitterest cold, some creatures call Risia home, like the frost salamander and the rejkar . [1]
- Snowflake oozes also come from the plane of Risia. [1]
Manifest Zones
- The continent of Argonnessen saw an incursion from the planes of Fernia and Risia, though the location of the Risia manifest zone is not documented. [4]
- There are a large number of Risia manifest zones in Everice and in the Frostfell . [5]
- There are many manifest zones scattered amongst the peaks of the Graywall Mountains between Breland and Droaam . [6]
- There is a large but intermittent manifest zone to Risia in the Tashana Tundra on Sarlona . [7]
Effects on the Material Plane
Coterminous
When Risia is coterminous to Eberron , the cooler regions, like the Frostfell, Everice, and northern Khorvaire , are subject to intense cold. These areas also allow for transport between Eberron and Risia to occur, as well as bolster cold-related spells and powers. Risia is coterminous to the Material Plane during the midwinter month of Zarantyr , once every five years. [1]
Remote
When Risia is remote from the Material Plane , cold becomes somewhat less intense. Conditions of extreme cold are reduced in severity, and cold-based spells are harder to cast. Risia is remote from the Material Plane during the midsummer month of Lharvion , once every five years, two and a half years after each coterminous phase. [1]
