Freyfrost

I'm telling you, the mammoth peaks above, Umala Coasts to the left and the town of Aaramor above? It takes a hardy group to survive in the city of Freyfrost and my god... There's a reason that town has stood for the last 40 years.

Freyfrost are deeply opposed to the Protection Act and are often caught in Conflict with Alturis. They dwell in the icy tundras of the north, utilising the mammoth peaks minerals and unique farming styles.
Despite the dangers all around them: The Ice Giants in the Mammoth Peaks, the army garrisoned at Aaramor and the rife piracy of the Umala coast. Freyfrost have a feared reputation and do more than survive. Because of this they have forged a fearsome reputation for themselves in Alturis as a people that did not need magic to survive and thrive...
Since the Protection Act 15 years ago Freyfrost has become a sanctuary for Aist mages that are willing to work with the town to train their people and protect the town.

Demographics

The town races consist primarily of: Goliaths Dragonborn of the silver, blue and white varieties Orc and Half-Orcs Hobgoblins and other goblinoids.

Government

The Freyfrost is controlled by the Frozen throne. Currently the queen of Freyfrost is Queen Frey. A fearsome Goliath warrior and skilled tactician. She is supported by an array of generals and is rumoured to be ruthless, brutal and unforgiving of those who assault her home.
If one wishes to take the throne they must challenge and kill the queen of Freyfrost. At which point the town will take the individuals name with frost ending it.

Infrastructure

The town is walled and well defended with their artificers utilising Arcane cannons taken from Aaramor. Within they utilise hidden evoker mages to constantly melt the ice around them and run it through trenches to give them make shift water mills, steam factories and ways to make themselves a microcosm of a military base and fully contained city. Being constantly under a 'kind of siege' has led to these preparations.

Guilds and Factions

The Aist Mages reside here in heavy numbers and many mages wishing to learn illegal magic visit Freyfrost to learn those skills from consistent proven warriors as their masters.

History

Freyfrost was founded by the remaining settlers in the north when the Dread King was killed. They found nearby ruins of a broken town and quickly built up around themselves to protect eachother, for thirty days and thirty nights the village went undisturbed as they built defences... they have a permanent shrine to the Duskmother to thank her for staving away the frozen death of the north.
Soon after, Hobgoblins joined and the town had a way to assault the mammoth peaks and build from there.
The town quickly grew as a space for trade with the nearby sea and for adventurers to be trained by the toughest and hardiest people in Alturis.
