Frost Dwarves

Natives of the Dark North, the Frost Dwarves live on the icy peaks of the region and make a life hunting and gathering, typically employeeing the local griffon population as trained mounts that allow them to traverse the harsh landscape from cliff to cliff. The Frost Dwarves share an ancestry with the dwarves of the Lower Realms, but have adapted to their harsher climate. Developing their bodies to resist the freezing temperatures, high altitudes and dangerous mountains.
Unlike the Dwarves of the Lower Realms, Frost Dwarves' skin is uniquely blue hued, with white hair that has the tendency to grow pointed and almost sharp in appearance. Their hair does this to create a shielding effect on the cold weather and protect their bodies. Frost Dwarves are natural climbers from living in the high mountains. They often must descend to lower lands to hunt wildlife or go fishing and then haul their bounty back to their homes hewn into the mountainside stone.
Frost Dwarves also have a diplomatic relationship with the Veston Imperium that dwells in the valleys of the Dark North. When the Imperium was in its early years, they formed an agreement with the dwarves in exchange for knowledge of how to survive the Dark North's brutal conditions. The pact has continued to be honored through the centuries until the modern age.

Frost Dwarven Faith

While the Frost Dwarves worship the same pantheon of gods as their southern cousins, their religious practices are decidedly different. While many of the dwarves of the Lower Realms turn to the Astral Skies to worship their Gods, the Frost Dwarves cast their eyes below to the ancestral stone that forms the Great Disc. Instead of choosing to walk the path of the mortal races and join them in the Gods' creation, the Frost Dwarves seek immortality by proving themselves worthy in the eyes of the Celestials to be chosen to rejoin the Stone - the resting place of all worthy and honorable dwarves, who after a life of battling the Gods' foes and securing the Disc, can join in eternal revel and rest. All Frost Dwarves are raised from a young age that glory and honor are the path to the Stone, and every deed they perform should strive toward that goal in some way - many times through martial prowess and combat, but also honoring family and clan.
Those who die unworthy of returning to the Stone are considered Shattered, a punishment for those unworthy of returning to the Gods' side.

Frost Dwarven Society

While the Dwarves of the South lost their connection to the Stone and gained new bodies of flesh and bone, the Frost Dwarves found a means to use the frozen icy north and magithyst crystals to augment and reproduce a functional - albeit inferior - form of runestone to carve their offspring from. As such, the Matriarchal structure of the southern clans doesn't hold true in the Frost Dwarves. In fact, gender is pretty much irrelevant among the Frost Dwarves, who view it as more of a cosmetic expressions of their Zylvana or Core, a concept similar to a soul. The leadership in the Frost Dwarf clans and families tends to be done through seniority and merit - those who are worthy of the great honor and duty of leading their kin.
Clans in the North are far looser associations than the South. While Family reflects whose stone you were carved from, the Clan is more akin to a membership in a guild or chosen faction.
Frost Dwarves names are usual represented as such: [Given Name] dor [Family Name] avor [Clan Name] or roughly translated [Given Name] From [Family Name] Of [Clan Name]. This is sometimes abreviated to d'[Family Name] and a'[Clan Name] when dealing with non-Frost Dwarves or outsiders. Example: Brann dor Bronzebeard avor Frostalon or Brann d'Bronzebeard a'Frostalon
