Schnee Snow Fields

The Shunē Setsugen (シュネー) is a vast tundra of perpetual ice and snow. They were also the location of one of the seven great labyrinths, that was home to the Liberator, as well as location's namesake Vandre Schnee.

Layout
The Schnee Snow Fields covered the southeastern edge of Tortus' mainland. They were bordered on the west by the Demon Empire of Garland, and on the north by the Sea of Trees. They were plagued by nonstop cloud cover, and never saw any sunlight. Furthermore, the snowfields were covered by a perpetual blizzard. As a result, everything was coated in layers of snow and ice, and the temperature never rose above a few dozen degrees below freezing. It was home to the most extreme climate on all of Tortus.

There is a huge crevasse in the snowfields, which contained the labyrinth's entrance at the bottom.

Despite its harsh weather, the blizzard that plagued the Schnee Snow Fields never pushed past its boundaries, due to an invisible barrier that kept the weather confined to a set area.

History
The land that would became the Schnee Snow Fields was first formed when Foldia, Tortus' guardian spirit of space and time, was killed during a battle against a group of beings that traveled from another world, who sought to rule Tortus. During his final moments, his power went berserk, and created a phenomenon of a stagnation of molecular movement, which resulted the entire region experiencing an everlasting state of extreme cold.

During the age of the Liberators, the region was known as the Obsidian Tundra (の). During that time, a group of demon outcasts called the Schnee Clan, who were lead by Vandre Schnee came to live there after fleeing from the Demon Empire Igdol. After the Liberators were defeated, they build a labyrinth deep within the tundra, were Vandre would spend the rest of his life in.

Over the years, the Obsidian Tundra was renamed the Schnee Snow Fields. Many people would travel there in the hopes of conquering the labyrinth, and claim a powerful magic that was rumoured to reside there.
