: I always imagined that the Trow cities were built on
: glaciers and then with the sun hammer Connacht super
: heated them and they melted into the ice (with the
: Trow still inside them)
: when he came back as balor he melted the ice away (Or hey
: its been 1000 years maybe the glacier moved back a few
: feet)
Yeah, I kind of had a picture of that as well, and also considered the possible relation of The Deep and the sunken city of Si'anwon mentioned in a Thrall flavor text, thinking perhaps the Trow had built their cities on the ice the covered the Deep, and that Connacht melted them right through into the waters below.
That would also solve the problem of how Trow cities would remain standing on glaciers, which as you note, are not exactly stable, and considering the Trow have been around for an awfully long time they'd probably have personally noted the glacial movement. To the Trow, building on glaciers would be like building on the sand is to us. But frozen-over inland seas like the Deep wouldn't be moving all that much, so the Trow could have built stable things on it.
The question then is, why is there no ice around the Trow lands in TFL? Or hell, even in the Twelve Duns in M2. Every shot of the "Trow lands" that we see is just a desert of compacted red clay. Nothing even resembling ice around there. Which is really weird, considering how far north it is...
Also, wouldn't the Trow's forges and ironworks have mucked up living on glaciers, too? Perhaps they did all their forging in Tharsis, but still... seems kinda weird for the Trow to build on or around ice.
