Glaciaria is a mostly uninhabitted continent of Vexillium, situated on the planet's southern polar region. Long rumoured to exist by Erasian and Longerathian cartographers, sections of the coast of Glaciaria were known well before The Plague by navigators and explorers from Islandia, Namuria and the Lexicon Islands. A number of whaling settlements were established in the centuries before the plague, such as Fort Capital, although the interior of the continent remained terra incognita well into the post-plague era. Only during the early third century would expeditions venture into the interior of the continent, such as the exploring party of Kinnarit Amundsdottir in 211.
