Baffin Island

Frozen wilderness base on Earth used as a departure point for missions, tied to cold, remote operations.

In the Red Rising Saga, Baffin Island emerges in Iron Gold as a stark, frozen wilderness on a ravaged Earth, repurposed as a clandestine base for high-stakes Rim operations. This remote Arctic outpost underscores the saga's themes of isolation and desperation, serving as a critical departure point for missions amid the escalating war between the Society and the Republic. Though its role is confined to this single book so far, it symbolizes the harsh, unforgiving backdrop of terrestrial conflicts in the series' expanding narrative.
