Perge'khas is a vast broken plain of un-melting black ice, a remnant of a glacier that once expanded rapidly and hungrily across the lands of Gorejun. It was the spearhead of a primordial lord, one of dozens in the Creation War (1486 DE - 8777 DE) seeking to undo Creation. Sent to counter this inter-system bridgehead was a Covenant general named Danzar-Khâl. His army battled the entropic legions of Cari'phis, fighting deep into the glacier over great spans, against ice fortresses and fighting through icy tunnels that stretched hundreds of miles.

When under Cari'phis's control, the glacier moved by her thoughts alone. She guided it across the land at a pace that could see it cross the continent in a few years. Danzar-Khâl, an Arch-Creationist, terraformed the landscape in an effort to slow its advance, creating the sculpted spires of Felakgathar and the towers of Felân-Akthûl.

Cari'phis's capture saw the glacial flow rapidly recede, shrinking in size with the end coming when it bound itself up like a sleeping cat.

It was Athena's decision, much to Danzar-Khâl's consternation, to imprison her in Denerra; rather than dispatch her like Cari'phis had done to so many of our own.

The black ice of Perge'khas no longer grows or melts. Always a frigid area, this unnatural glacier creates unusual weather conditions in neighboring lands. Many of those home to Perge'khas's ancient tunnels and ruins are descendants of Cari'phis's invasion force - ice mephits, Thrallrir, frost giants, and Obyrith.
