The Ice Age

The Ice Age was a period in Terrobis' history when the everything was colder. Especially further north, as most of todays Norden was covered in constant snow.

The Beginning
It is not known when the ice age started. Norden was populated at the time, but when it began, large amounts of people moved south. This great migration drove away a large amount of the Pegomians living in todays Luvania and Barantus. The mixture of immigrants from Norden and Pegomians became known as Luvians.

During
During the Ice Age, the northern parts of Norden were covered in especially much ice and snow. The ocean Nordhav was covered in so much ice, that one could walk between Ødelandene and Alvøy.

The End
According to the legends, Dragons roamed Norden during The Ice Age. Their main habitat weare Nordfjell, and especially Kvittind, which was supposedly the home of the king of Dragons- Kvitiværar. When the Ice Age was over, however they hid down in the mountains. Another explenation why they went away is that the legendary hero Æskil Dragonslayer killed the dragon Kaygidd, and wounded Kvitiværar. These legends sometimes intertwine- saying that the Ice Age was caused by the Dragons, and that when they hid from Æskil Dragonslayer, the Ice Age ended.

When the ice melted, so much water flooded down the river Naumelv that the lake it ran into expanded, and became connected to it's neightbor lake. Together the two lakes make up Tilind's Mirror today. In Nordic folklore (see: The Northern Gods), this unification is explained by the giant bever Porundar making a dam, drying up the countryside, and a hero named Tilind Tilindson tearing it down. This is how Tilind's Mirror got it's name.

The only remain of The Ice Age today, is the northern areas of Nordaland, Alvøy and Ødelandene. They are still covered inn snow all year around.
