Nym-Zoedine is a vast unnatural glacier in one of Olmi Hjark's great vales. It covers a great area on the surface, and even bigger one the Underdark beneath it. This glacier was created by a conclave of Glangveif warlocks. They used the soul energy of a thousand slaves, powering up the primordial artifact Onaidreds Quill. On 4 Bloom 1648 HE, this ancient device was turned on an army of 8,000. This hobgoblin force was led by a half-devil named Zoedine, feared war maiden of Dispaters Concubines. Not only did this artifact freeze solid the entire army in ice, it changed the land to one of snow and ice, a great block that some consider no more than a glacier like the one at Anzar. Onaidreds Quill was also entombed in ice. There have been attempts to find it, but these have failed. It is said the area within hundreds of feet of the artifact is so cold that even those most resistant to cold find their defenses lacking.

Nym-Zoedine covers a surface area approaching 7,800 square miles. The icy area beneath is much bigger. It descends for thousands of feet, filling great caverns with ice and chill. On the surface of this ice formation, the northern tracts are claimed by the Bazandaggûl. Part of the underground glacier are claimed by the city of Sodlund. On the surface, the northern tracts of this area are claimed by the Bazandaggûl.
