: 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

: considering how far north it is...
This one is easy. It has _all_ been melted. I'm guessing that someone who could turn the entire countryside around Muithemne into desert when he was a powerful evil could do the same to the lands around the Trow when he was a powerful good.
As for why Trows got into their basements...
When its hailing FIRE you go inside. As inside as you can get.
oh and hi everyone.
: 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.
They're not living on glaciers. When you live far enough North there is a permanent layer of ice just under the surface of the ground, permafrost. It never thaws and is rock solid. I think the Trow retreated to the far North so that they could be isolated from all the other races. Their little Civilization of Solitude.
