Canadras (promontory)

At the tip of the peninsula dividing the Bay of Desolation from the Forsaken Sea stands a great promontory which bears no other name than that of its sole, dread occupant. The ice-drake Canadras lairs in a cavern whose innards were shaped by the Snow-elves in the distant past. Some say that this was once the palace of K'elektor himself, before the Snow-elves journeyed north to found Helloth, and that it contains works of beauty beyond compare. Whatever the truth of such tales, the Lossidil abandoned the dwelling long before Canadras came upon it. Many of its splendid ice sculptures remain intact in spite of the incidental damage they have suffered from the dragon's comings and goings (Canadras has little eye for art.), though only in the most distant and unexplored recesses of the caverns do the sculptures and frescoes of the Lossidil retain their pristine splendor. The entrance to Canadras' lair opens onto a cliff-face overlooking Ekkaia, some sixty feet above the waves. A rock-cut path once wound its way down the cliff from above, but Canadras has managed to tear sections of it away so as to discourage uninvited guests.
