History[edit | edit source]
Geography[edit | edit source]
The lands of the Frost Barbarians are located in the far northeastern portion of the Flanaess, on what is known as the Thillonrian Peninsula. They occupy the coastal plains between the Griff and Corusk Mountains and the Grendep Bay. Their lands are separated from those of the Snow Barbarians by the Spikey Forest, while the Timberway Forest forms their southern border against Ratik. The Frost Barbarians refer to their lands as Rhizia.
As of 591 CY, the most populous towns are Krakenheim (pop. 4,500) and Djekul (pop. 3,100).
