Basun

Basun is the birthplace of all elvenkind, and is loosely translated to Mother's Boon. As the birthplace of elvenkind, it was once inhabited by both Ekeldrin and Visadrin before the war with Humans. It was once a land full of lush green rolling hills, beautiful meadows and farmlands. However, 1000 years prior to the events of the first book, the landscape was changed as two Visadrin ascended to godhood, forever changing the landscape into a hellish snow laden wasteland. There exists three regions: Meracyn to the southeast, Hulgris to the southwest, and Ahr'Dhel to the north where the city of Varmiel sits.

With the land covered in snow, Frost Giants were born, becoming a danger to those Visadrin who venture outside the city. It is believed that they took the half dragon children abandoned by those fathered from Atreloch. Though for what purpose is unknown.
