Snowsorrow

Summary

Snowsorrow is the mapped town and crater site left when Snowserene, the old dragon city, was moved and became Sunserene. Icefang lived in or around Snowsorrow, tying the site directly to the Hartwall family and old dragon history. It lies between Fishtail Edge and Rimewatch, appears on the known-lands map, and remains a live strategic location despite being treated in some records as only a crater. Storms gather nearby, contact with the site was later lost, and Icefang’s planned burial, the Snowserene mural, and a possible Hartwall artifact near the Ice Prison all keep Snowsorrow central to the campaign’s dragon and Barrier mysteries.
