The Frostmaw Clan was founded an unknown amount of time ago by a group of werewolves seeking refuge from human persecution. The Western Somberwalds proved to be the perfect hiding place, with its dense forests and rugged terrain making it difficult for humans to track them down. Over time, the Frostmaw Clan grew in numbers, with more and more werewolves seeking shelter under their protection.
To maintain a peaceful coexistence with the nearby towns, the Frostmaw Clan established a mutually beneficial arrangement. They would keep the surrounding area safe from dangerous creatures like trolls, giant spiders, and the occasional dragon, in exchange for regular offerings of livestock. The townspeople were initially hesitant to trust the werewolves, but over time, they came to rely on them for protection.
As the years went by, the Frostmaw Clan developed a complex social structure. They divided themselves into packs, each with its own leader and hierarchy. The strongest and most skilled warriors rose to the top, while the weaker and more submissive members learned to accept their place in the pack.
Despite their fearsome reputation, the Frostmaw Clan were not without their own troubles. Like any community, they had their own internal conflicts and power struggles. There were those who sought to challenge the established order and take control for themselves, and others who believed in more peaceful coexistence with humans.
Through it all, the Frostmaw Clan remained a proud and fiercely independent community, determined to protect their way of life at any cost. They knew that their continued survival depended on their ability to work together and maintain the delicate balance between their pack and the human townsfolk.
Their matriarch is Illona Frostmaw, who is currently missing.
