Location from ice-age by
The vast, snow-dusted highway of the great animal migration, stretching south toward warmth through pine valleys and frozen passes.
The Migration Trail is the spine of the Ice Age world — the route every animal follows as the glacier advances. It passes through pine forests, along frozen river valleys, over rocky ridges, and around the edges of geothermal areas. It is simultaneously a place of community (everyone is going the same direction) and loneliness (everyone is lost in their own urgency). As a setting, the Migration Trail is transitional space — it's where journeys begin and where chance encounters happen. The world is always slightly wrong on the trail: animals that wouldn't normally share space are forced together, predators and prey move in the same direction under an unspoken truce born of shared catastrophe.
A broad corridor of trampled snow and exposed earth, flanked by pine trees heavy with ice and stone outcroppings draped in frost. The sky above is pale and low, promising more snow. Thousands of animals have passed through recently — the trail is churned and marked with every kind of track imaginable.
