=== Appearance and personality ===
==== Appearance ====
The Snowfolk are described in many different passages through a range of cultures however a description put forth by a Kaddu poem seems to be a popular means of reference as it originates from the same time as the first sighting of this (until recently) isolated culture 
"Hair of ice, eyes of crystal
skin frost bitten and blue 
countries rise and fall 
but they stand watching. unchanged
far in the mountains where no man dare trek
you will find them 
men of snow and frost, tall and lean 
with all their knowledge and wisdom abound 
Yet no empire to be found
we know naught of their intentions 
so beware of these Snowfolk lurking around."
==== Personality ====
as has been mentioned in passing we are still unsure of the inner workings of Snowfolk, while personalities differ wildly throughout the race most share the common traits of community, comradery and Spirituality (being one with the world around oneself) believed to have been picked up over time as survival tactics to live through harsh snowy conditions (staying in tight groups and taking advantage of the surrounding has proven to increase ones odds of survival in these areas it seems)
due to these traits Snowfolk will usually act in a mutually beneficial way when faced with challenges and opportunities, they will usually stay in tight knit groups and are protective of their ever changing culture
