During the turbulence of the Gray Summer, a slew of apocalyptic calamities transformed the entire region. Violent megathrust earthquakes and skyscraper-high tsunamis resculpted the face of the range, while slumbering volcanoes woke to engulf the icy skies with roaring ash and lava. The Tritan Mountain Range transformed into a series of jagged, snow-capped peaks that extends deep into the frozen horizon. Few wildlife can survive on this freezing highland, where oxygen is thin and violent blizzards rage daily. Great avalanches swallowed countless Tritan towns; a few miraculously survived to etch out underground lives beneath the thick canvasses of snow.
