Jotunheld

  Jotunheld is a land of ice, stone, giants, and memories. It lies north, across the Frozen Sea from Aldorath, on the frozen continent of Kodal.

At the time of the Dawn War, it was one of the strongest footholds of the Primordials in their battles against the Gods for control of Tol. The gods called The Thanes of the Five Halls and The Four Winds had claimed the lands of Jotunheld as their own. The creations of the Thanes, the Dwarves were soon overpowered by the Titans and giants that the Primordials sent to claim lands that were, at the time, fertile and good. The Hastane were warned by Hodrun the North Wind to flee across the sea to the south, rather than be captured. Feeling that their god had challenged them, the Hastane attacked the Giants, but they were likewise put down and enslaved.

Eventually, the dwarves rebelled against the giants and traveled south, through tunnels under the Frozen Sea, to their new Kingdom of Kurdenheim. This is recounted in the tales of Balgon Fivebraids. The Hastane eventually rebelled and fled as well, having learned the making of ships from the giants. This left Jotunheld completely in the hands of the Primordials and their servants. Left to their own, the fire, frost, stone, and cloud giants ruined the land, leaving it a wasted desert of ice. Now, they eke a living from the land, barely a former shadow of their previous selves. Or else they war across the sea on the Hastane and dwarves.
