Irrigation
Glacial runoff is channeled to local community farms in large basins for storage and use during droughts.Drinking Water
Glacial runoff is collected for safe to drink use and food preparation.Defense
During threats of invasion, the glacialists can grow glaciers to plug the passes to their territory with grown giant glaciers.Perception
Purpose
To ensure sufficient water is available to communities and to grow ice walls every summer to keep out invaders.
Social Status
Glacialist are often also the farmers tilling the land. This makes them fairly self-sufficient as they create lasting reserves of water that have even impressed the Innoit Estate.

Workplace
At the confluence of the great mountain ranges, glacialists can grow their ice towers by grafting ice fragments together and covering them with charcoal, husks and cloth. There, glacierets are then piled onto by additional snowfall over the course of several years.
Provided Services
Vertical Glaciers
During colder times, meltwater runs downhill in channels and made to arch upward. Then the water freezes as it falls back down into a stepped pyramid structure 300 feet tall. These glaciers melt slowly in warmer weather.Horizontal Glaciers
When melt water rivers are redirected in channels and pipes to be siphoned into a series of stone and earth basins. Meticulously controlled water flow is released into these reservoirs to freeze into thin layers before the next wave is released. When it warms, the ice melts in controlled layers to water crops and people.
