Frostkeep

The northernmost Ibanian settlement is structured around a dwarven castle known as Frostkeep. Locals are a mix of human and snow elves, with the surrounding Deepwood forest also having an elvish name Nurwenon. While the Duke of Frostkeep has pushed to expand the city, the local corps of snow elf rangers share a number of superstitions that keep the populace unmotivated. Among those superstitions are that of the Bitterwolf which according to myth emerges to take vengeance on loggers, and cannot be seen, caught, or injured. The increased number of deaths from apparent wolf attacks makes it difficult for the Duke to fully expel this belief.
