The Twelve Districts:
Frigid Floes:
1.
Polar Plains - This district is well known for being flat and long with very little to disturb the landscape. Plant life actually grows here through most of the year and is traded with the other districts for other food and useful items.
2.
Chilled Coast -This district is situated among the broken ice floes of the Southern Icefield's coastline. The dragons there are fishers, mostly, and trade for what they need with the other districts. They exist in small villages dotted along the coastline.
3.
Volcanic Vent - A break in an otherwise unforgiving landscape, the vent is home to dragons that like a -ahem- warmer climate. Raw materials and minerals are plentiful as well as abundant plant life. This makes the vent a perfect home for more herbalists and chemists. These dragons are familiar with many chemical compounds and trade their valuable medicine and fuel to other areas for anything they lack by nature.
Snowsquall Tundra:
4.
Hoarfrost Hills - The hills begin the ascent to the mountains that make up the last two areas of the Icefields. These hills are home to several small villages. They are comprised mainly of hunters. Meat is plentiful, but other food is obtained through trading.
5.
Overcast Oasis - This hidden oasis is almost always overcast which traps the warm air from the hotsprings. It is populated by nomadic tribes known for survival and camouflage. These dragons are also very clever. They scavenge for what they need and what they don't need they trade. They enjoy a pocket of relatively warm weather and the benefit of underground hot springs.
6.
Frosting Fjords - This district is best known for being iced over most of the year, allowing dragons to pass freely from one side to the other. There are only one or two large cities populated by many clans consisting of students and tinkers. They make things, mostly mechanical and scholarly things.
Cloudscrape Crags
7.
Bitter Butte - Overlooking the sea, the butte is home to several large complexes within the network of inhabitable caves. Large terraces overlook the water on the rock face where dragons sun in warmer months. These dragons mostly live a life of leisure and are among some of the richest clans in the entire Icefields. Their dragons can do virtually anything they wish with the amount of space, and wealth, they control.
8.
Shivering Snowline - The snow here never melts and is home to only the most hearty clans. These clans make the most of what they have, whether it is by drying jerky to make meat last or preserving a hide to make a blanket. They trade for new items whenever the snowstorms allow for visitors to make it to their home.
9.
Volatile Valley - This area is harsh and unforgiving, a dip in the surrounding mountains. Blizzards rage for most of the months of the year and cannot escape the line of mountains around the valley so the storms cannot escape. This makes it necessary to exist mostly underground or in a vast network of caves carved by years of storms into the mountains. The clans that exist here deal in rocks and minerals, carving their lives out of the mountains they live in. They're miners as well, collecting rocks and gems of importance and trading them when summer gives them a small window of reprieve.
The Fortress of Ends
10.
Sparkling Spire - This ice encrusted mountaintop is kept and lived in by several small scholarly clans. They sharpen the spire to a point and etch runes and artwork down the rest of the ice face. Though it is perpetually iced the weather in the spire is also very calm and quiet which aids in its inhabitant's study. They rely on the other districts for all of their food and tools, though without them the rest of the districts are deprived of most new innovations and knowledge.
11.
Crystalline Cliffs - The cliffs are home to warriors, and good ones. There are few homes here but all of those homes are occupied by battle minded clans. Other dragons may be smarter or faster but these dragons are certainly strong. They bully the other clans into making sure they are always kept in food and supplies.
12.
Permafrost Palisades - This district is settled into the heart of the Fortress, making up the governing body of the Icefields. The clans that live here are the most logically minded and value rational thinking and reason over passion. Their cliffs overlook the entire domain, which can be seen on clear days.
