Built under a natural coastal cavern, the city of Whither is one of the most out-of-the-way cities in the world. The cavern protects the city from intense snowfall and the colder winds from the north, but in turn the city is almost always consumed in a cold mist. The city has to stockpile food for the winter for when the coast freezes over.

However, the city's fisheries and underground agriculture can support its deceptively large population effectively.

Once during a particularly harsh winter when the city was nearing starvation, the Church of Jakuna set out from Aldrigvinter to deliver food and supplies to the city, carving a path through the frozen ocean to get there.
