Habakkuk is a giant iceberg combined with sawdust used as a dragon-carrier during the Kuusaman-Lagoan invasion of Jelgava. In order to keep the ice from melting in the warmer Garelian Ocean, a team of mages had to periodically cast wards and other spells over it.
Literary Comment[]
Originally, "Habakkuk" was the name of an Old Testament prophet. In the context of the Darkness Series, it is a name taken from the language of the Ice People, who are represented as speaking Biblical Hebrew. It is likely derived from OTL's Project Habakkuk, a British proposal to create ships from ice and sawdust during World War II.
