These lands are mostly uninhabited, apart from by the normadic shamanistic people known to other people of the continent as Ice-Walkers. The lands up there are cold, dark and merciless, more so in winter. Ice wraiths and yeti call these inhospitable lands home. There are also white bears, northern seals, and sperm whales that live and hunt on the ice or beneath it.

They are cold, rugged peaks, that are always snow-capped even in the warmest of summers in the North. The mountains are home to the Icebeard Dwarves, Frost Dragons, and Ice Trolls. The mountains has veins of copper and tin, and there are mines of flint and iron. The mountain range has three large valleys, named Frostbite Vale, Glacier Canyon and Troll Valley. The Icebeard Dwarves have seven cities in this range, but only one is known; thier capital of Dandehelm. There are roughly few trees that live here, only the Windbark Pine thrives here.
