Locations

Anna's Post is a simple camp with a fire situated near the Frozen Pond. Despite her injuries, Anna keeps a watchful eye for survivors from this spot, offering a glimmer of hope in the midst of the desolation.

A dark cave with remnants of long-dead animals. Used to be a temporary shelter for travelers... until the permanent resident settled in.

Located deep in the forest at the mountainside, a massive complex of buildings once guarded by the military. Locals recall it served as headquarters for the Slumber Project - a government program focused on humanity's survival. Promotional materials that reached far beyond Metropolis spoke of comfort and security. Unfortunately, the complex no longer fulfills its former role, overtaken by dark, dangerous forces.

A fortified checkpoint, formerly manned by soldiers protecting the Slumber Project. Today stands as a grim reminder of pre-Permafrost times, with collapsed barricades and frozen bodies. Those who search carefully might still find valuable items left behid by military.

A house in the forest (formerly most likely a forester's lodge?), converted into the "Candlelight Inn": a cozy and welcoming stop on the way to Metropolis.

Once a sanctuary of greenery in the heart of the city, Charles’ Park is now a sad reminder of what was lost. Snow-laced trees lean like mourners, cracked paths wind past rusting playgrounds and shattered memorials. Stories say something still stirs in the park at night - whether memory, madness, or something worse - but during the day, it offers a brief reprieve from the chaos beyond.

An old suburban building, served as the central point of House Camp. For a long time, it was a place of refuge for survivors, offering not only spiritual comfort but also functioning as a key meeting place. Here, people gathered to exchange goods, stories, and information, making it the heart of the community. After the Moon Cult attack, it transformed into a makeshift war headquarters for the Resistance.

Hidden deep within the mountains, this cave was once home to a large cougar. Though the cougar is no longer there, jagged rocks at the entrance, resembling fangs, serve as a reminder of its former presence. Inside, the cave is said to contain a rich supply of stone and flint, attracting those in search of these valuable resources.

A massive crater formed by the impact of a moon fragment. The crater is filled with strange but valuable moon debris. However, the extreme cold makes it a perilous place to explore, with only the most prepared daring to venture into its frozen depths.

Founded by Jeremiah Crow, a war veteran, it serves as the beating heart of the Ex-Military; those who once upheld order and now cling to it with cold precision. The faction runs like a machine: efficient, unyielding, and slow to trust. Crow’s Nest is less a home and more a doctrine built of frost and grit. It's a place where survival is not a hope but an operation.

Once a crucial defensive position, Bunker Forest is now a dense, overgrown area. The remnants of old military installations are barely visible through the thick foliage, creating an eerie atmosphere.

This icy pond is marked by the grim remains of those killed by the Moon Cult, their bodies impaled on sharp ice shards. It seems the victims were random travelers, trying to reach Metropolis.

A makeshift greenhouse built in House Camp to cultivate plants in a desperate attempt to preserve dying flora. Lack of experience, deteriorating conditions, and successive misfortunes led to the gradual collapse of this beautiful idea.

Once a thriving suburban settlement founded by Sheriff Ethan Cane in the early days after the Shattering, House Camp served as a beacon of hope for survivors seeking refuge from the frozen wasteland. The camp grew into a close-knit community of families living in modest single-family houses clustered around a distinctive church tower that still dominates the skyline. All that progress was brought to a halt when the Moon Cult attacked the settlement, killing and kidnapping most of its inhabitants. The remaining survivors, led by Anna Ivanshchenko, are trying to bring this broken community back to life while actively resisting the Moon Cult.

Hunters Glade, once a peaceful gathering spot for hunters, was a hub of trade, exchange of goods, and sharing of information. It served as a resting point before venturing out on hunting expeditions in the frozen wilderness. Overlooking the glade stands the Red Tower, a lookout point that once kept watch over the area.

A once-bustling area for hunters, the Hunters Glade Forest is now a serene yet desolate woodland. It retains its role as a meeting spot for those who brave its quiet, frozen expanse.

A structure built from scavenged metal and scrap, intended to maintain communication in the failing city. It soon became an important waypoint on the road between House Camp and the Solars, serving as a safe haven. Currently abandoned after multiple attacks from the Moon Cult.

A gaping maw in the earth, Landscar Cave is filled with the unsettling smell of damp earth and death. This treacherous path leads through the chasm, where evidence of past inhabitants - and many ores - can be found.

The heart of Metropolis - a complex of skyscrapers surrounding a city park, serving as the city's showcase and proof of its size and class. However, in the first years of Permafrost, it became clear that these places, despite their expensive high-quality materials, don't cope well with strong icy winds.

A military complex built into the mountainside, once filled with advanced communication technology and radar systems. Fortifications and underground bunkers were meant to protect crucial military infrastructure, but today remain only as testimony to former military might.

Once a critical part of the defense perimeter around the bunker, Military Tower 1 stands in eerie silence, its structure now a stark silhouette against the cold sky. Abandoned and empty, the tower’s observation deck offers a sweeping view of the desolate landscape. Overgrown with frost and decay, it serves as a haunting reminder of the days when it was bristling with activity and vigilance.

Military Tower 2, a relic from a time of heightened alert, looms over the surrounding wasteland, its once-vigilant guards long gone. The tower’s steel frame is battered and worn, bearing the marks of harsh weather and time. Despite its dilapidated state, the remnants of old equipment and faded markings hint at its former role in safeguarding the area, now a silent witness to the passage of time.

Perched on a desolate ridge, Military Tower 3 is a forsaken sentinel, abandoned and left to weather the elements. Its structure, though still standing, shows signs of neglect and disrepair. The surrounding area, once meticulously monitored, is now a stark expanse of frozen earth. The tower’s empty rooms and rusting gear echo the once-critical mission of defense, now a quiet monument to its former purpose.

A dangerous passage through a labyrinth of ruined structures and frozen wrecks. The only route to the valuable Solar Facility, controlled by the mysterious figure known as the Rat Queen - an eccentric woman whose motives remain an enigma, probably even to herself as well.

When the Slumber Project turned away countless survivors, many fled into the forest seeking any shelter from the brutal weather. This camp became one such refuge, crude but vital for those trapped by the relentless cold. Local legend tells of a group of survivors attacked here by Scavengers, only to be saved by a mysterious figure known as the Renegade.

A massive fissure cutting through the landscape, creating a natural barrier. Difficult to explore with steep, icy walls. Conceals ancient geological formations and traces of human activity that some connect to the moon's shattering. Dangerous and hard to climb through, needs to be approached with caution.

A small, isolated patch of land deep within the frozen forest, was once a bustling logging site.

A sprawling complex of rusted metal and cracked concrete, the Solar Facility stands as a monument to a failed attempt at sustainable energy. The once-pristine solar panels are now covered in grime and snow. Scavengers have repurposed the facility, establishing a precarious foothold amidst the decaying infrastructure.

Two vast circular arrays of solar panels transformed by survivors into a defensive maze of trenches and hidden passages. The original orderly rows became a fortified labyrinth providing tactical advantages for those who controlled it. Camps formed throughout the fields to scavenge materials and supply other settlements. Fierce conflicts over resources eventually drove the inhabitants away. Now the Solar Fields remain silent and abandoned; a frozen cemetery holding terrifying secrets of what transpired here.

The central power plant housing the main electrical systems and control infrastructure for the entire solar complex. It contained advanced machinery for power conversion and distribution, plus a command center managing the electrical grid for the surrounding area.

The gravely ill set out into the maze of solar panels, desperately searching for the hidden clinic of old Doctor Sonnenberg. There, alone and with only modest supply support from Logan’s people, he tends to his patients and, powerless against the many limitations he faces, can often do little more than ease their pain in the final moments of their lives.

A fortified technological enclave situated on Estate grounds, equipped with advanced workshops where electronics were repurposed into new devices and weapons. The colony housed research laboratories and power systems maintaining the community's technological operations... to a limited degree. Technocrats leader Margery Owlgate left the Colony and moved their headquarters to a different location, while leaving her daughter Amalie Owlgate in charge of the Colony.

The Military Convoy by the Crater was sent to explore the impact site but got trapped in a sudden blizzard. Now, the vehicles lie frozen and abandoned, partially buried under snow. Inside the trucks and armored vehicles, valuable supplies remain untouched, waiting for anyone brave enough to search them, despite the harsh cold.

Once a symbol of wealth and privilege, The Estate now stands as a stark monument to a bygone era. The Technocrats have fortified this decaying opulence, transforming the ruins into a formidable fortress with barricades of scrap metal, watchtowers constructed from salvaged materials, and a network of tunnels connecting the buildings.

A survivors' outpost located within the skeletal remains of several city blocks, serving as the final staging area before expeditions into the deadly White Hell. The settlement was built from urban building ruins and served as a place where experienced survivors known as Hell Runners share knowledge and form expeditions.

A water tower standing in the heart of House Camp. The surrounding area has transformed into a Cold Zone, creating a natural barrier that keeps most survivors at bay. Skinwalker saw potential in this hazardous location and claimed it as one of his testing grounds. Those seeking to prove their endurance to the Resistance must face his challenge here - to rise above the cold and prove they have what it takes to survive.

A brutal stretch of permanent cold, where the wind bites harder than any blade and every step toward Maple Island feels earned.

A small, isolated patch of land deep within the frozen forest, was once a bustling logging site.
