Frost Realm
Description
The Frost Realm is one of the many realms that exist within the world of Tower Defense Simulator. It was first canonically introduced in the Operation I.C.E Event, acting as the home-world for the monsters that the Children of Exo used to siege Outpost 32.
According to the Dispatcher, the Frost Realm reaches temperatures as cold as -224°C, or -371°F. A particular phenomenon exists within the Frost Realm where ice can contain "raw, unfiltered energy". This energized ice or snow is the basis for life in the Frost Realm.[3]
In folklore within the Overworld, the Frost Realm is known as a separate plane of existence, called the "Frozen Realm". Many creatures from the Frost Realm are referred to as that hosts the departed souls of people lost in snowstorms[4] or those who fall into frozen lakes.[5]
More information on the Frost Realm is revealed in the non-canon Frost mode. While the events in that mode are not canon, the descriptions of the Frost Realm contain noteworthy information that likely is true to some degree. In that mode, the Frost Realm is described as a structured society, containing cities and military bases. While similar to the Overworld, the cities in specific are stated to be more primitive than the ones used by humans.[6][7]
Inhabitants
A plethora of frost creatures inhabit the Frost Realm, being quite diverse in form. But despite this, a common factor shared by most creatures native to the Frost Realm is that they originate from energized ice.[8]
The enemies seen in the Operation I.C.E Event and the non-canon Frost mode are just some of the living beings seen to come from the Frost Realm, but there are also other creatures that come from the realm not seen in them, such as "Crystal Horns", which are harvested for their wool[9], and "Crystallized Frost Spinners", which are harvested for their silk.[10]
Groups
The primary faction that dominates the Frost Realm is the Frost Army. Being one of the most powerful beings in the Frost Realm, the Frost Spirit is the leader and figure of worship to this army. Comprising the ranks of the Frost Army are soldiers, such as the Packed Ice, Deep Freeze or Frost Invader. There are also dedicated worshipers, such as Crying Angels[11] and Frost Mages.[12]
Locations
Frost Spirit's Castle
Residing in an unknown part of the Frost Realm, the Frost Spirit's cathedral-like castle[13] is a focal point for the Frost Army, serving as the resting place for the Frost Spirit and place of worship for his followers.
In the Operation I.C.E Event, the Children of Exo entered the castle, awakening the Frost Spirit with a fragment of the God Cube.
Trivia
- The Frost Realm was the first realm introduced by name in the Tower Defense Simulator storyline, making its appearance in the now de-canonized Frost Invasion Event as the "Frost Dimension".
