Wild speculation about the Treasure Islands of Blindfrost

[mallleable]

Personally I associate Emet's "Treasure Islands of Blindfrost" with the Xaela and the Chaghagan Khan (an obvious allusion to Genghis/Chinggis Khan).

We get a tiny snippet of history about an ancient Xaela warlord who invaded Ilsabard from an Island nearby called The Unpromised and came back with a treasure hoard gathered from the whole continent, where he was killed after an argument over splitting it devolved into violence. "Treasure Islands of Blindfrost" could be where one of his loyal lieutenants or maybe even his killers had stashed what they could of the treasure, hidden away on the far edge of the world. Of note nearby is the Dalvalan Grath, said to be a tundra populated by "relatives of the Xaela". Another thing to think about as well is that there was once a thing with Koji where he alluded to a third, much older clan of Au Ra that he couldn't talk about as he was cut off by Yoshi-P.

All of this added up could make an interesting Xaela story for a V&C Dungeon storyline with lore bits. The worst that could happen is the whole region being wrapped up in a 1-off dungeon like what happened with Xelphatol and Paglth'an. Far more unlikely, but interesting is if it gets added to a potential Ilsabard expansion as a key part of the story since treasures were stolen and taken back there.

Ohh! didn't know about that! That might be it. Could make a great V&C dungeon, maybe with like Cirina or someone. I still think there is a possibility that we find signs of an expedition that was there before us, and they found something frozen in the tundra, and that something could be related to 8.0. Especially considering how many well preserved mammoths have been found in Siberia in real life.
