Fröke

== The Fröki Race of Solycia ==
The Fröki are a unique, ancient Frog race residing on Temple Island in Solycia. Originating from a time before humans settled on Eldham, these beings were once fierce berserkers known for their chaotic and unorthodox fighting style. They were known to get extremely close to their enemies, perform erratic movements, dance, sing, leap over them, and use other unpredictable tactics. The distinctive combat techniques of the Fröki had a profound impact on the Solycian style of battle. Influenced by the Fröki's unorthodox methods, Solycian warriors began to incorporate elements of dance and acrobatics into their own fighting style.
== History ==
Originally ruthless berserkers with a aggressive appetite for making human soup, the Fröki aimed to eradicate human settlers from Eldham. This genocide was drastically altered upon their encounter with the Angel spirit of nature Taldranis, who told them to stop killing humans and make fish stew instead. 
The Froki were a stubborn bunch, committed to their culinary conquest of human settlements, and chanted back "we want soup". They continued their rampage, ignoring Taldranis' plea. The Angel then transformed the mighty Fröki warriors into harmless little frogs and exiled them to the secluded Balistar Forest.
== Culture ==
Following this transformation, they were exiled to the secluded Balistar Forest. Yet, two centuries later, under the reign of Jacob Liberatus, a shift in perspective led to their reintegration into Temple Island society. Embracing their new existence, the Fröki adapted quickly, finding niches as cooks, merchants, traders, assistants, and tavern owners, thus weaving themselves into the fabric of daily life on the island. The Fröki now live harmoniously with humans, known for their enchanting songs and masterful fish stews, which have become a culinary treasure of the island. Their remarkable transformation and contributions to Solycian culture have made them inseparable from the island's identity, Their presence is considered a blessing, and they are often involved in festivals and community events.
