Issvaroan Elves of Gökstad
The Issvaroan Elves of Gökstad are a resilient and elusive faction of frost elves, once a thriving community, now a shadow of their former selves. After a brutal assault ordered by the crown and church, only a few hundred survived, retreating into their ancestral home within the ice mountain of Gökstad. Decades passed as they hid within the cold, silent halls of their mountain stronghold, nurturing their hatred and honing their revenge. The Issvaroan Elves emerged from their icy refuge as hardened survivors, their numbers small but their resolve unbreakable. Every member of their society is a testament to their people's endurance, each carrying the weight of their near-extinction and the responsibility to reclaim their place in the world. The frost elves of Gökstad are masters of the frozen wilderness, their culture steeped in tradition, and their warriors as unforgiving as the icy peaks they call home.
