What is known about the southern continent of the world?

From what I've read, there was a second polar gate which may or may not have also collapsed, and apparently the continent is infested with Beastmen.

Seeing as the High elves have the 'Gates of Calith' located there, would they have ventured further inland?

Any further information about this mysterious location would be most helpful.

As far as I know there is nothing released about it.

Dunno about the beastmen, but assuming it is like real like Antarctica, it's barely inhabited and therefore no worshipers = no serious chaos threat from that direction.

Apparently it is choked with beastmen, but it isn't connected to the rest of the world. As beastmen are unable to build boats (there may not even be wood there) the unwashed hordes have no way to cross over.

this will most likely end in disconnected ramblings....
so apologies in advance to anyone who finds this offensive or whatever, I'm probably out of the loop with what is happening so this may be entirely irrelevant,just a rough idea i have had floating in my head over the years and a attempt to get it down somewhere,

The Southern Waste:
Surrounded by primordial seas thick with twisted beast and horrors unseen are the scattered shipwrecks of many explorers who have attempted to breach the desolate frozen continent.laying in wait just below the surface looking much like the many icebergs of the region whale like hulks patiently lurk ready to swallow hole anything that comes withing there reach,
deeper down great kraken like monsters move restlessly stirred to life by the constant attacks from the giant mutated sharks that prowl the regions oceans. on the sea floor scuttle titanic crustaceans, armored with numerous spines and impenetrable shell these multiple legged beast are feared by and prey upon all within there watery realm, the true kinds of the cavernous deeps only ever fearful of others of there kind.
Along the jagged shores lie further wrecks be they blown in on the winds or those of the rare few that manage to land none, have left to tell with there minds intact. A desolate seeming waste at first glance, great spires of living ice rise in the distance humming softly to one another in a imperceptible language luring great flocks of twisted bird-like beings to there peril. gigantic crevasses open into unstable portals spewing out frozen demonic spawn who teeter upon the very edges of reality, others hide great fanged maws able to swallow whole entire civilizations while worse still are those populated by the numerous mutant beast that dwell within this land.mutated penguins stalk the ice the most terrifying of all being the great emperors capable of summoning hordes of sub-species to fight there never ending wars. twisted fusions of bear and living ice lumber to battle while many tentacled horrors race beneath the ice, chariots of ice and steel speed over the surface dragged by dreadful fanged walrus-like beast,behind penguin-like warriors bear arcane weapons of living ice marching alongside in loose ranks only held in place by fear of the emperors retribution are twisted creatures of penguin,seal,crustacean and fish emitting petrifying cries hungry for flesh,bird-like beings haunt the sky,diving down unseen to attack the unprepared. Bound to the emperors will titanic crustaceans bring the great rulers to battle sitting high upon there throne driving the horde forward to war.
Deep within the heart surrounded by spires of living ice spill forth the daemons of chaos locked in eternal war amongst themselves for dominion and the fun of it.

Mutated penguins and demonic crustaceans? HeroeJuice, I like the way you think.
