Flavour Text:
Her icy filigree sparkles, catching iridescent sheets of boreal ghost-light. Think not to captivate this one, for her heart is frigid. Artica haunts the snowy drifts of winter, leaving no footprints. Goddess to her Frostling subjects, they alone tolerate her frigid isolation
Specialized people who adore the ice and snow, Frostlings thrive in inhospitable glacial realms. Their frigid adaptation allows them to raid the rich lands that border the frozen wastes, spreading their cold unfeeling ice as a blizzard.
