Iceburn Giant Lands

The Iceburn's are a thick mountainous region where a large concentration of giant tribes can be found, ruled over by a giant king named Erburuk the Titanic. It is said the giant's are very loosely gathered and the only way Erburuk keeps them together is through military might, the cloud giant tribe he rules keeps the other tribes complacent through regular challenging of their warriors. Erburuk himself is said to have six arms, and claims relations to the legendary Hecatoncheires one of which Erburuk claims to be buried and sealed within the tallest mountain of the Iceburn's, and so raiding parties of giants take slaves from the smaller humanoid races, forces to quarry away at this mountain until they uncover this rumored of Hecatoncheires.   Due to the nature of this conglomeration of tribal settlements they have little exports or trading focus, with stone being the only major thing traded to the other nations for coin, alongside mercenary work, with the giants of the Iceburn's regularly soldiering for other nations, although they are expected to pay a gold tribute to their king back home or else they could suffer dire consequences. Those giants who return from these campaigns with military prestige and offerings for the king get promoted to leaders within the tribes themselves.   Most other nations are incredibly unfriendly with the Iceburn giant tribes, none more so than Neversun which keeps a cadre of undead giant monstrosities upon the border of their territories, hidden in the thick forests at the base of the mountains with order to kill and harvest for parts any giants that attempt to raid their lands for slaves, although due to decades of this practice the Iceburn giants have learned to avoid, or how to effectively fight, these undead sentries.   The only humanoid species in these lands that are allowed to live in tribes without enslavement by the King of Giants, are Goliaths, a species of half-giants that can range from six to ten feet tall and make up the majority of the farmers and skilled craftsmen within the Giant Lands, with the large hands of the giants unfit for crafting intricate devices.

Fauna & Flora

Frostbloom (Glaciiflorus)   The Frostbloom is a unique plant that thrives in the harsh and frigid environment of the Iceburn Giant Lands. It is a hardy flower with icy blue petals that glisten in the sunlight. Despite the extreme cold, the Frostbloom manages to bloom year-round, even in the harshest winters. It is believed that the Frostbloom possesses magical properties, capable of warding off frostbite and providing a soothing effect when applied to the skin. The Goliaths, with their affinity for the land, have learned to harness the healing properties of the Frostbloom and incorporate it into their medicinal practices.   Avalanche Stalker   The Avalanche Stalker is a massive predatory creature that roams the treacherous slopes and valleys of the Iceburn Giant Lands. Resembling a blend of bear and wolf, it has a thick white fur coat that allows it to blend seamlessly with the snow-covered terrain. The Avalanche Stalker is known for its incredible speed, agility, and ability to ambush prey with precision. Its razor-sharp claws and powerful jaws make it a formidable hunter. The Goliaths, skilled in survival and hunting, have formed a symbiotic relationship with the Avalanche Stalker, utilizing its strength and tracking abilities to aid them in their endeavors.

Natural Resources

Froststeel   Froststeel is a rare and valuable mineral that is found deep within the icy mountains of the Iceburn Giant Lands. It is a combination of iron and a mysterious crystalline substance that gives it a distinct icy blue hue. Froststeel is renowned for its incredible strength, durability, and resistance to extreme cold. The Giants, with their immense strength, have mastered the art of extracting and forging Froststeel, using it to craft their mighty weapons and armor. Its unique properties make Froststeel highly sought after by warriors and craftsmen, both within the Giant Lands and in neighboring nations. It is said that weapons forged from Froststeel can shatter even the strongest of defenses with ease.
