After stepping out of the connecting tunnel and turning east along Khazor's Mountain Road, a snow covered forest comes into sight. This forest is located in a relatively low-lying area which is called Frostwood Valley.
The Valley is mainly an important hunting ground and agricultural area in the Ystra Highlands. Many tribes come here to hunt and the Barbarians, Cyclopes, Minotaurs and other monsters often ambush humans and their caravans.
Since the Order of Dark Glory built defenses along Khazor's Mountain Road, these incidents have slowly been reduced, but there are still many adventurers who enter the woods for curiosity’s sake.
At the extreme southern end of Frostwood Valley is the mountain "city" of the Minotaurs, Snowhorn, and at the very summit is the holy of holies, the Mystic Altar.
