Inhabitants

 * The Frostiron Tribe lives at the northern end of Icewrack, near the Northern Sea.
 * Rylai, an unusual child born with the ability to freeze everything in her wake, was sent by her exasperated parents to live in Icewrack, where she become a student of the Ice Wizard. She is able to summon enormous shards of ice from Icewrack, raining them down on her opponents.
 * Tusk is native to the area, and returns to the far north every winter to visit the Frostiron Tribe.
 * A great white wolf spirit once lived in or near Icewrack, whose presence foreshadowed death. Many hunters attempted to kill it, until it was said to have been slain by a talented archer, possibly Traxex.
 * Auroth has chosen an abandoned keep in Icewrack to make her home and preyed on the locals' livestock. When Rylai went to confront Auroth over her trespassing and the missing livestock, the two nearly came to blows before Auroth's servant Thrael suggested offering some of her treasures as payment for the keep and livestock. Rylai accepted the offer and left with the Frost Avalanche cape, the most powerful artifact in Auroth's possession.
