Shvaen

Shvaen is a fictional location within the world of the video game Elden Ring. It is a desolate and frozen region in the northern part of the Lands Between, characterized by its harsh, snow-covered landscapes and treacherous icy terrains. The area is known for its extreme cold, which can affect the player through a status effect if not properly managed.

The geography of Shvaen features vast plains blanketed in snow, towering ice formations, and frozen bodies of water. The atmosphere is bleak and unforgiving, with constant blizzards and strong winds contributing to the sense of isolation and danger. Remnants of ancient structures can be found scattered throughout the region, hinting at a past civilization that once inhabited this cold domain.

Inhabitants of Shvaen are adapted to the extreme environment. These include various forms of frost-wielding creatures and mutated beasts that have learned to survive and thrive in the frozen wilderness. The region is also home to several hostile NPCs and dangerous bosses, posing significant challenges to Tarnished adventurers seeking to explore its depths and uncover its secrets. Shvaen is often associated with lore pertaining to the ancient civilization that predated the Erdtree and the subsequent corruption of the land. Its exploration is crucial for understanding certain aspects of Elden Ring's overarching narrative.
