What is Boreal Frostlands?
Inspired by Arctic lore and the likes of The Thing and The Terror, the Boreal Frostlands are a vast icescape located in the icy North.
Its peoples do not have much way of contact with outsiders, and only very reluctantly yield to the notion that there are warmer lands elsewhere.
The Frostlands are dotted with ruins, temples both old and new, strange sightings and formidable beings bound in the permafrost– aching for a thaw. Floating in the ice floes at the top of the world, is Iceberg City – where notorious factions struggle for warmth and all compasses point north in a dizzying spiral.
What do you get?
40 punch-out modular hexes in cardboard.
Heavy-duty GM screen containing hex-descriptions, optional rules, tools, random tables, a mini-adventure and a detail of the Iceberg City.
Hand-out poster depicting the Iceberg City and the Permafrost Drilling Platform in heavy paper.
Cloth bag.
Two pamphlet dungeon modules expanding upon locations found in the hexes
Unlike previous sets(link opens in new tab/window), the Frostlands unnumbered hexes are DOUBLE-SIDED depicting either snow plains, ice floes, cold water or mountains. If the GM pulls out one of these, they can toss it in the air to determine which side remains up! The Encounter tables in the GM screen will have different options to match the respective terrain.
Compatible with Undying Sands(link opens in new tab/window), Bottled Sea(link opens in new tab/window), and Hexcrawl Toolbox(link opens in new tab/window).

At Third Eye, we ship thousands of comics every week, and we know condition matters. Whether you're reading, collecting, or grading, we want you to feel confident when a Third Eye package arrives.
This policy outlines our standard for new release and shipped comics, and the industry-standard guidelines we follow.
OUR STANDARD
Books without a stated grade will be offered as Near Mint 9.4 or better. We do not guarantee 9.8 condition on any book unless specifically noted.
We use industry-standard grading guidelines from:
- CBCS Comic Grading Scale
- Overstreet Comic Grading Standards
- CGC grading standards
If you're new to comic grading, the resources above are a great place to start.
WHY WE DON'T GUARANTEE 9.8
Modern comic printing is an imperfect process. Books are printed in massive
runs, bound at high speed, and shipped in bulk to retailers. Even brand
new books off the truck will exhibit minor production characteristics,
and that's normal, and consistent with industry standards across every
retailer.
A 9.8 grade represents near-perfection, and the reality is that not every printed book qualifies for that grade no matter where you buy it from.
We can absolutely commit to NM 9.4 or better. We cannot commit to 9.8 on every book, because that's not how comics are made.
WHAT QUALIFIES AS NM 9.4
Per industry standards, a book may exhibit the following minor characteristics and still grade as Near Mint 9.4, as long as there's no accumulation of defects:
Bindery characteristics:
- Minor to moderate corner tears
- White edges along the spine (common on most modern printings)
- Covers slightly offset from interior pages (common on cardstock covers)
Printing characteristics:
- Slight color rub on back covers
- Small paper wrinkles present from the paper roll prior to printing
- Wavy paper texture from the printing process
Spine characteristics:
- 2-3 small color-breaking spine ticks
- Minor non-color-breaking spine dings
These are normal modern production characteristics, not damage from handling or shipping. They are present on books across the industry, regardless
of retailer.
OUR RETURN & EXCHANGE POLICY
We do not accept returns or exchanges on books that meet our NM 9.4 or better standard.
We will replace or refund:
- Books damaged during shipping (clear shipping damage, not pre-existing print characteristics)
- Books that fall below NM 9.4 standard (significant spine damage, major creasing, tears, etc.)
- Wrong cover or wrong issue shipped
For premium variants (1:25, 1:50, 1:100, 1:250, 1:500 incentive covers, signed editions, exclusive variants), we apply enhanced QC during pull and packing. If a premium variant arrives outside our standard, contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will work with you on a replacement.
