Clan Frosinn
- Icebound keepers of healing and knowledge, mastering magic through control, clarity, and restraint.
- Resilient northerners who believe survival is earned through discipline and emotional composure.
- Renowned scholars and healers, preserving ancient texts, runes, and remedies lost to other tribes.
- Feared for their cold resolve, yet quietly burdened by isolation that threatens to turn preservation into stagnation.
Kalt Clan
- Fire & Will: The Kalt wield fire not as destruction, but as discipline—magic fueled by resolve, sacrifice, and the strength to endure what others cannot.
- Forged by Hardship: Life in the highlands is brutal, shaping a people who value resilience, obedience, and survival above comfort or sentiment.
- Power Through Control: Emotion is both a strength and a danger; Kalt culture prizes restraint, believing unchecked passion leads to ruin—for the self and the clan.
- Warriors and Leaders: Renowned for producing elite soldiers and commanders, the Kalt are respected and feared across Glacia, even as their rigid hierarchy breeds quiet rebellion.
Fjall Clan
- Masters of Stone & Endurance — Fjall magic binds to earth and mountain, granting resilience, physical strength, and the ability to withstand forces that would break others.
- Unyielding Mountain Culture — Life in the high Fjall peaks values discipline, loyalty, and survival; weakness is met with hard lessons, not mercy.
- Founders of Stone & Storm: The Fjall clan was born when their patriarch, lost in a mountain blizzard, discovered a hidden crystal cavern whose jewels could focus, store, and amplify magic. From these peaks came the most powerful magical ore on the continent—and with it, a fiercely guarded legacy that forged Fjall into unmatched trackers, warriors, and the birthplace of the first Kappadýr.
- Strength That Can Become Stagnation — When isolated or overused, Fjall magic hardens into rigidity, trapping its bearers in tradition, pride, and unchanging rule.
Vatnio Clan
- Masters of water magic and renewal, attuned to flow, intuition, and the unseen currents beneath the world.
- Diplomats and healers by nature, using empathy and emotional perception to mend wounds—both physical and political.
- Deeply communal and expressive, valuing connection, celebration, and shared experience over rigid hierarchy.
- Weakened by suppression and denial, as water magic falters when emotions are dammed instead of allowed to move.
Tindur Clan
- Masters of Deathless Ore: Tindur controls the only known source of Surmatu, a legendary metal that never breaks, shatters, or degrades. When alloyed with other ores, it inherits their magical properties—making it the most coveted weapon-grade material on the continent, with Vikings and Titans competing fiercely for every shipment.
- Forgers of Amplified Magic: The tribe also mines Bæta ore, a rare enhancer that strengthens magical output. Favored by Sagi and master craftsmen, it is most often worked into jewelry, ritual tools, and precision weapons—especially when paired with enchanted crystals.
- Harvesters of Ice Bloom: In the frozen reaches of their territory, the Tindur cultivate and trade Ice Bloom, a volatile and valuable frost-grown resource prized across the southern continents for its alchemical and restorative uses.
- The Isolated Arsenal: Hidden deep within inhospitable terrain, the Tindur stronghold is notoriously difficult to reach. Rumors claim they possess one of the greatest armories in the world and warriors of unmatched discipline—but their isolation ensures few outsiders have ever lived to confirm it.
Skogur Clan
- Keepers of the Winter Forest: The Skogur tribe dwells in a storybook castle hidden deep within the Winter Forest—a realm of rare flora and fauna found nowhere else. From cooling Froslyn leaves to fragrant Winterberries, Frost Mint, and Ice Bloom, Skogur’s plants shape both seasonal tradition and vital southern trade.
- Masters of Living Wood: Skogur’s greatest treasure is Okrossbar, unbreakable living wood cultivated in harmony with the forest. Trees are never cut—seedlings are guided by Silvans to grow into homes, while naturally fallen branches become weapons, tools, and artifacts of immense strength.
- Craft and Growth: Skilled Skogur shape living structures by coaxing Okrossbar’s growth rather than forcing it, creating homes that are alive, adaptive, and enduring—architecture grown, not built.
- Beauty with Teeth: Beneath its fairytale beauty, the Winter Forest is lethally dangerous. Treacherous ravines, shifting terrain, and apex predators like the frost wolf and the monstrous Skrimsli ensure only the Skogur—and those they permit—survive its depths.
