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

When under Cari'phis's control, the glacier moved by her thoughts alone. She guided it across the land at a pace far exceeding any normal glacier. Danzar-Khâl, then an Arch-Creationist, terraformed the landscape, slowing the Glacier of Perge'khas, creating the sculpted spires of Felakgathar and the towers of Felân-Akthûl.

Cari'phis's capture caused the glacier to recede, shrinking in size, bound 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, it causes some very bad weather in the warmer months. 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.
