Village of Ulholt
Demographics
The entire population of Ulholt is goliaths. Because of their tightly-knit clan structure, their is no recognizable class system. The majority of citizens are smiths, miners, or hunters, although there are a small number who are shamans and priests.
Government
The leader of the village is also the leader of the goliath clan that inhabits it. The leader is the strongest of the goliaths which is determined by challenging each other to complete various feats of strength. The leader typically does not create or enforce any laws, instead helping to settle disputes within the clan. The laws of the clan are usually maintained by the head shaman.
Defences
The primary defense that Ulholt relies on is the fact that it is isolated deep in The Epec Mountains. If something dangerous does make it to the village, however, the entire clan is trained in combat and the shamans can use various magics to fend off threats.
Industry & Trade
Because it is so isolated, the village of Ulholt does not trade with any other settlements very often. Occasionally, a trader will arrive in the village or they will send out an emissary to sell resources and purchase goods that the clan needs. Otherwise, most of the villagers are miners, smiths, or hunters.
Infrastructure

Assets
The village has access to a variety of metals, ores, and gemstones that are found in The Epec Mountains, but they typically use these resources either to craft items or in rituals. Because of this, the village has an abundance of spears, axes, and shields used for hunting and defense. Ulholt also takes advantage of the cold weather and simple magic to chill and preserve meat from previous hunts as an emergency food store.
History
The exact founding date of Ulholt is unknown. The same clan has lived in the village for the entirety of their history. The village has been mostly isolated, but the clan built the Monastery of the Frozen Angel when Azgual fell to the material plane.
