Ice Dwarves
Ice Dwarves are the clans of the Iron Consortium who long ago chose to leave their home to mine the ice in the frozen North. After generations of living in the frozen lands, they have adapted to their new home thanks in large part to magics used to aid them. The magics however, became apart of their very bloodline after several generations of the same spells used to aid them. It changed them from Dwarves seen in the Iron Consortium to the Dwarves they are now.
