Kogabkin Village
Frostdunes Steppe Region
An isolated fishing village that works the two largest lakes and primary river of the Frostdunes Steppe. The villagers are not part of any of the clans, but instead are a odd band of outcasts who prefer to take their chances in the extreme cold than deal with the rest of civilization. Most are skilled tradesfolk, who are more than capable. Feeding and outfitting mining expeditions heading up to the Chasm makes up the majoirty Kogabkin's surprisingly robust economy.
