Freijan Culture (Fray-Yan)

Freija - The Frozen Ring

In the northern continent of Freija, the Dwarves, Minotauren and various other permanent residents exist in its frozen lands. Some come seeking a life of hard-earned work and settlement away from dense and busy cities, others have been there since birth and work to keep family trades afloat or to achieve personal dreams. Others still become fisherfolk, craftspeople or revered Frostdelvers.

The Frostdelver Corps.

Frostdelvers brave Freija's untamable wilderness, venturing into deep chilled caverns or riding frost-coated boats out to Helda's Lake. Those who venture underground seek out rare gemstones, crystals and rich Freijan Redsalt; a tasteful flavoring ingredient, a curious concocting agent and useful meat-preserver. Those who become Frostdelver Divers use rune-imbued Deepsuits coordinate with land teams information to collect promising clusters of saturated Redsalt and seek out Freijan Black Ice.
Great respect is given to those who become members of the Frostdelver corps. Their bravery and spoils bring trade to Freija from all across Tarris 7 and make it a curious destination for tourists and vacationers alike. Freijan cuisine offers a delicious variety of seasoned fish, crisp fruits and fantastic drinks such as the legendary Blackfrost Ale. Crafted carefully, a Freijan Blackfrost Ale takes the perpetual cold of Black Ice shavings, stirs it up with Kambamelon juice, includes a sprig of Bittermint leaf and mixes it all together with distilled Caverath wheat to create a chilling, bubbly, refreshing imbibery.

Freijan Black Ice forms at great depths of the continent and within Helda's Lake. The ice has a chilling darkness to it and a strange ability to remain perpetually frozen to boot, staying frozen abnormally long in hot weather and almost indefinitely in cold climates. Going into the lake brings its own dangers for the Dive Team as unknown aquatic life lurks in the dark depths along with the brine pool that forms a filmy veil some leagues above the bottom of the Lake. Delvers unfortunate enough to be separated from their team or have traveled down unprepared will be met with a gruesome fate by the hands of beasts or crushing toxic waters.
