Major language groups and dialects

Culture and cultural heritage

Money is not very commonly used here; instead, bartering is the mainstay of all trade here. This is also the only location that Dragonscale Trading Company does not have their hooks into. They have a few scattered outposts along the very edge of the ice where they trade wares with various tribes.

Shared customary codes and values

Due to the harsh terrain in which they live. The iceborn people have a loose unity. This does not stop or remove any wars from this region. Compared to Draqua, however, there is no war here.

Common Dress code

The general clothing that people wear on the glaciers is fairly uniform. It mostly consists of heavy wools, leathers, and furs. Metal Armor is not highly sought after in this region, due to the effects of cold steel upon the flesh. Armor that does incorporate metal will be sandwiched between furs or leathers to keep the cold metal away from the body.

Common Myths and Legends

During the The Cataclysm the Utopian Valley was torn asunder. Some of the Dwarves and Elves that were in that valley were swept away in this schism ended up at sea on a floating island. They named this island Hillsronto Refuge. After a few years, Hillsronto Refuge ran into what eventually became the Ice Flow. Here they meet Ursa. During this time, thanks to the timber on the Refuge, unlike the chunk of ice they called home, some of the ursa, with the guidance of the elves, built ships and set sail north to find new homelands.

The remainder stayed with them. These three races evolved into the Glacial Dwarves , Snow Elves , and Polar Ursa. Later the White Dragonborn, Silver Dragonborn and Iceling settled and joined there society.
