Sigil:

Two frosty hammers behind a shield that has a painted icy mountain upon it and in front of it the founder of the house.
The two frost hammers are said to represent the knight house, Frost Bark and the original houses founder Frost Buster. The icy mountain is where the house is said to make its home, a small mountain near Frost Forge. And lastly, the founders depcition is shown in front as he was known to be a snow beard of great arrogance.

Owner:

Jamesdregeron "The Elder" of clan Frost Buster, he is noted as the personal crafter of the Frosthammer clan. Said to be a gifted craftsman who can turn dragons and proto-fiend blood into weapons of great renown. He is noted to be currently around five hundred years of age, though rumors are abound that he is far older. Jamesdregeron is said to be the youngest son of the founders youngest born. He is said to carry himself with a long beard that sweeps the floor behind him, while he is seen wearing inferno silk robes with oventium and orichalcum laced within it. Having little interest in the fairer sex, Jamesdregeron is childless and is quoted as saying "I will only die when someone worthy can replace me, you fool!" .

Founder:

The Frost Buster clan is said to descend from two royal lines. One through the Frost Forge, and the other through the Stone Busters. The founder though depicted upon the sigil is said to be Jamsdregeron "The Frosted Heart" of clan Frost Forge, second to the family line. It is said that "Jams" as his family called him, was so arrogant and refused to stay within his brothers shadow that upon his adulthood he declared himself a bastard and founded a new clan. Using his coin and his mothers family name, the Stone Busters who were known for there crafting and demonic sorcery joined immediately and took the name Frost Buster. From there the clan would oust two others who had laid claim to "The Last Spire" a small mountain outside of the city of Frost Forge. A mountain in which the Frost Busters would pay a large sum to keep off the map. The clan would gain its power through sorcery and craft, though Jamsdregeron would gain the clan the most notorioty through his slaying of the bog giant king Pelvirnor "The Bog Witchs Son" and claiming the bride of a Vendkasz who would take the land and found there clan.

Subsidiaries:

Lesser Clan Frost Bark

Clan Frost Bark is a noted knights house that is far removed from the main bloodline of the Frost Buster clan. Many note that this has seemingly gifted them quite a magical sensitivity for a snowbeard family. In truth, the founders second born found himself gifted in druidic arts. And though unfortunate, not soon after his sons birth and the founding of the house whould there own founder vanish into the fey courts. Some believe this was a deal paid, others that the fey had a foul interest in the Frost Busters clan for there dark sorcery. Whatever the case may be, the clan stands as the personal knights to each of the expected clan successors. Each trained to be advisors and serve the clan when needed, and however needed.

Lesser Clan Frostfury

While many lesser clans may claim royalty or right to the head house, few truly do have the birthright. Frostfury is one of those few clans, though there story unique and fascinating for scholars around the world. Little has been allowed to be published. What is known, is that the first Stone Buster marriage would see the birth of seven sons. One of them, the current owner was said to be the seventh born and youngest of the group. However, the first was said to marry the FrostHammers and give them magic, the second would create the first Frost Grove. And the third and strongest of the families would take on the Stone Buster view of demons and proto-fiends. Following a life of war, he was said to give up his birthright even when prophesized to be the greatest of the Frost Buster clan heads. Instead it is said that he would fight the many remaining Demonfolk who still roamed the lands as mindless beasts. Slaying hundreds before finding his families true magic. It is believed that the Frostfury lesser clan would found upon his return. A family heirloom of an ancient artifact from one of the tombs he had raided was presented to prove his claim to land. None would object for fear of his wrath, and thus Frostfury was born, though with only a single child born each generation. The family is believed to be cursed for the great power that they wield from the artifact itself.

It should be noted as an important factor for all those doing research on the Frostfury lesser clan. They are believed to be demon worshippers who spend there lives studying the creatures to gain power over them. Few proto-fiends seem willing to fight when they enter the battlefield. And Frostfury is the only clan that FrostBuster and FrostHammer refuse to field when major wars go on. Most believe out of the fear of there dangerous magic and its side effects. Gaining the family the nickname "The Fury of the Snow".

Renown members:

Bown "The Breaker of Hammers" of clan Frostbuster, was said to have managed to kill the heir to the Frosthammer clan during the civil war called The Red Snow War. Shortly after the war was concluded however, Bown would find himself executed after slaying two more members of clan Frosthammer as they attempted trials by combat.

James "The Iron Heart" of clan Iron Heart, is said to be the expected heir to the clan and is the first noted to be welcomed by Jamesdregeron "The Elder" for his accomplishments. Founding the global merchant conglomerate known as "The Iron Heart Merchant Co.". He is noted to currently only be second to Gregsmaratam in capability as a merchant, having even garnered favor as heros of the frost giant courts in Regin Uthem's Empire. And having personally taken part in the war against the primordial god Lytho-Tara. It is expected that James himself will not only become the new clan elder, but as well the expected heir to the clans ancient crafting rights.

Locations:

The Last Spire Stronghold,
A stronghold noted to delve deep beneath the ground into the underdark. It is said that the stronghold is the only to have access to ancient rivers that the "Gilded Scales" spawn within. The mountain from the outside seems simply fortified, until you realize the entirety of the mountain has been shaped to the clans will. A vast stronghold able to hold the nearly five hundred members of the clan and still house a small cities population of nearly ten thousand. The stronghold is known for its vast blue ice mines, gold deposits and large amounts of gemstone caverns. Though the stronghold has an ill reputation amongst it nearby towns. With many vanishing in the night, and some believing the clans ancient bloodline allows for them to take there kidnapped victims and sacrifice them for artifacts. The stronghold has long been known to have its dark and ritualistic crafting rooms, each said to be off limits to all but those who know the clans craft.

Unique and Common Services:

Blue Ice crafted goods, proto-fiend effective weaponry and armor.

Annual Income:

Nearly ten million gempieces are gained annually by the clan, though individuals such as The Iron Heart Merchant company are not included in this calculation. Many would note the expanded branches of the clan to increase there annual earnings to nearly five hundred million annually.
