The Frigid Sea, home of the seafaring blue dwarves
If one travels north through the mountains of Arkania, they will eventually reach the Frigid Sea. Much of the year, sizable chunks of ice crash against its banks with the tides. Of course, the waters are rich with fish and other simple creatures, and natural hot springs can be found here and there acting as something like a desert oasis attracting a greater variety of wildlife.
These are the waters of the tengeri törpe (blue / sea dwarves). They more or less look like zharrgrund (5-hair-colored dwarves), but they have blueish skin and hair which varies between white, blue and black. Temperamentally, they seem more akin to reserved barna (brown-haired dwarves) until they are crossed and immediately lash out like tuzkar (fiery-haired dwarves). These odd people live their whole lives on the seas, building huge boat villages which remain docked in prime locations, but breaking up to relocate as the cold winds change. They also use smaller boats for fishing and hunting. Raids on eszaki ember villages are known to have happened, but only immediately after humans have raided one of their own.
