Gothic, icy, & mountainous

The Fractured Peaks area is known for its cold climate and craggy mountains [1]. Nestled in between the peaks are the ruins of cathedrals and once bustling taverns. Blizzard's artists based the area on the Carpathian Mountains.

"We took a lot of inspiration from classic, Victorian gothic themes. The people who live in the Fractured Peaks have horrible anxiety all of the time. They feel like something is watching them from these dark ruins and ancient cathedrals."
