The Plane of Ice

From whose womb did the ice come forth, and who has given birth to the hoarfrost of heaven?

      -- Job 38: 29
The Quasi-elemental plane of Ice A wasteland universe of solid ice, through which living ice-sculptures pass by magic. The Doomguard has its Citadel of Absolute Zero at the border with the negative energy plane. Prince Cryonax has his ice-castle ("The Chiseled Estate") here. There is no normal air here. Unprotected visitors are crushed instantly. Without "ice plane protection" or "negative protection", visitors freeze solid -- even if cold-protected, visitors lose 1d6 hp per round, and anyway they cannot move. Visitors cannot see a thing beyond a few feet. No fires can exist here. The touch of your bare hand does 1d6 points of damage to any ice creature. A "shatter" spell does 1d6 hp/level to an individual creature. Elemental servants from this plane excel at missions in frozen wastes.

The Ministry of Elemental Good -- Ice Ministers

Christians from ancient times have portrayed parts of hell as being regions of heartless, soul-chilling cold, and the Koran reaffirms this.

When we say a person is "cold", it means "apparently unfeeling". But when a person is "cool", it can mean "self-controlled, composed, clear-thinking" and/or "exciting, interesting, novel, fun."

The Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition challenges the faithful to remain self-controlled and clear-headed without losing the good feelings a person should have.

Ice ministers exhort people to courage, and to ignore their feelings of fear and inadequacy. They never slip on the ice. They get a free proficiency in arctic survival.
