Situated in the rugged western mountain range of the Bifrost Isles, Jotunheim is a harsh, unforgiving land where the towering peaks meet dense forests, and the chill of the air never quite lifts. This desolate region is home to a secretive and nomadic cult known as the Cult of the Frostmaiden. The cultists, primarily outcasts from the Goliath clans, have turned away from their Storm Giant ruler to worship The Frostmaiden, an ancient and frozen deity.
Inhabitants
The Frost Goliaths, as they are known, do not remain in one place for long. They travel across the harsh terrain, from the snow-capped peaks to the frigid forests below, constantly on the move. Their bodies, altered by years of devotion, have taken on an unnatural coldness, their flesh frosted and cracked like ice. This transformation is seen as a mark of their deep faith and their connection to their goddess. Their nomadic lifestyle allows them to remain hidden from the rest of the world, dwelling in the isolated corners of the land, ever-watching and ever-praying for the cold embrace of The Frostmaiden.
Description
The lands of Jotunheim are the harshest and most unforgiving in the Bifrost Isles. Rugged mountain peaks rise sharply against the sky, their snow-covered summits often shrouded in perpetual storms. The weather here is bitterly cold, with fierce winds and icy blizzards that make the land nearly impassable. The terrain is rocky and treacherous, filled with craggy cliffs, deep ravines, and thick forests that are almost impossible to navigate.
Due to the extreme conditions, none of the tribes of the Bifrost Isles have settled in Jotunheim, as the land offers little in the way of resources or shelter. The forbidding nature of the land, however, makes it an ideal refuge for the Frost Goliaths, whose nomadic ways allow them to thrive in this isolated region. Hidden amongst the mountain ridges and deep within the forests, the cultists of The Frostmaiden remain largely unseen, their presence known only to those few brave enough to venture into this inhospitable wilderness.
