The Fortress of Frost Fire
The Town of Frostfire is only important as it is located on one of the most important trade ways in the Winter Land called the Traders Way which stretches from The Frostwalker clan to the Flame Caln with the town in the centre. There is also a famous inn and tavern called the Silent Shadow where oftentimes you will find high ranking members of clans during the Time of Change. This town is probably the best place for adventurers to meet as it has all the adventuring gear you need.
The Fortress of Frost Fire is one of the larger forts due to the many chambers underneath it. It is only 100 feet high on the surface with its highest tower being 60 feet above that. The Fortress is empty most year-round (at least on the surface) it is also the most regularly chosen for the Time of Change however clearing it of monsters is always a hassle and many adventurers are hired to do it. Little is known about the history of the Fortress prior to the gods fall however it might be the youngest out of all the forts and it shows signs of once holding a portal to the Frostfell. The ruler of this is the Prince of Frost however he only walks around the corridors all day bitter. He is no threat unless you provoke him and he likes to listen in on meetings during the Time of Change. Finally, he has several servants in the Fortress that serve as his spies and some connections in the Winter Court.
