Kyllikki: The Town of White-Harbor
Kyllikki or White Harbor lies at the mouth of the Tuonela river as it pours into the Darkling Sea. The town is surrounded by a forty foot tall defensive wall of ice. The town is home to many traders, fishermen, craftsmen and the Temple of Ahto, God of the Sea. On an island in the bay to the west of Kyllikki is a light-house formed entirely from ice.

The Wall
The wall was once the remnants of a great glacier that inhabited the plain. Generations of work have cut a gouge in the ice, allowing for steep, impossible to climb ice walls in a semi circle around the town. The only gate in the wall is the Dragon Gate. It is 40' wide, 25' tall. Heavy beams form it, and it is constantly manned, due to threats from off the steppe.
There are nine evenly spaced towers carved into the ice. The tops are covered in beams, with arrow slits cut in them. Wooden ladders go from the floor to the top.
