Fror Fjall

Svellheim X737.

Fror Fjall is a desolate region in the North of Vayeron. Little is known of the area except for its harsh, snow and ice filled landscapes.

## History

Fror Fjall is an ancient landscape that has existed since the dawn of Vayeron. It is a region that was seldom travelled to throughout Vayeron's history. For centuries, the icy tundra has mainly been inhabited by Goliaths. After the ancient Dwarven **Kingdom of Nordith** fell to the Void Dominion, the surviving Dwarves were pushed into Fror Fjall and were forced to adapt to the harsh conditions.

After the stabilisation of the Void Dominion in X634, the area is now completely cut off from the rest of Vayeron.

## Geography

### Dofrar

A small village that was once inhabited by a proud clan of Ice Dragonborn. It has since been ransacked by a group of Frost Giants who overpowered and ultimately enslaved the clan, forcing them to build a town for them.

### Driftreach Spine

A range of icy mountains and glaciers. No one traverses the mountains due to the sub zero temperatures and treacherous snow storms.

### Hvallsar

The biggest tribe of Goliaths in Vayeron. It is under the authority of Magath Icestalker, the tenth head of the Icestalker Clan. The first Icestalker tribal chief, Neolok, grew tired of seeing the quarrelling and fighting between the major Goliath clans. He decided to unify them into one powerful clan by defeating each tribe's leader, proving himself to be the strongest. He absorbed each chief’s tribe with every successful fight until all the major clans were combined. To this day, the clans have remained unified under every generation of Icestalkers.

### Iskenor

A small Dwarven town and home to the **Children of the Resistance**, a group of Dwarves with a hatred for Korelda Oakenhide, believing her to be a coward for not rallying the Dwarven refugees to fight back and return to their home. They are of the view that those under Korelda Oakenhide are weak for “just surviving” in these conditions and trading with their oppressors.

### Jotunn's Wall

A sturdy ice wall reaching heights of 175m. It separates Fror Fjall from the Void Dominion and has since been fortified by the Dwarves who were chased out of their kingdom.

### Karlsa

A rundown region in East Fror Fjall. It is said to be the lair of a Bheur, also known as a Blue Hag, who is sometimes seeked out for her wisdom and prophecies. Both Goliaths and Dwarves tend to steer clear of the area, not wishing to anger or make dangerous deals with the archaic creature that resides there.

### Morana's Den

A deep crevasse in the Driftreach Spine mountain range.

### Shivering Plains

A long stretch of ice connecting the mainland to a frozen mountainous island in the West of Fror Fjall. It is a dangerous crossing made perilous in the summer months due to the ice melting.

### Svellheim

The largest city of Dwarves in Vayeron, on a scale similar to that of Thessaheim in Lower Nexus. It was formed from all the refugees of the **Battle of the Scarlet Dawn**. It is a unique city pairing Dwarven architecture with snow and ice that glistens splendidly in the summer months. It is currently headed by the sister of the former Queen of the now fallen **Kingdom of Nordith**, Korelda Oakenhide.

### Tower of Xasior

A stout tower on the mountainous island beyond the Shivering Plains. It is extremely rare for anyone to visit the area and is said to be home to one of the most powerful wizards in the realm who chose the tower due to its peace and solitude.

### Ullr's Mouth

A giant cave that spreads deep into Driftreach Spine. Some superstitious locals refuse to enter the hole believing it to be inhabited by a deadly creature in its slumber. However the vast majority of locals simply don’t enter it because of the sheer size of the cavern and its numerous tunnels that are easy to get lost in.
