Skaldvik
Skaldvik is widely regarded as the most picturesque village in Frostheim, spreading out from the shore of Isvat Lake and bordered on the north and west by tall pines. Its buildings incorporate carvings of wizards, homunculi, tigers, and smiling djinn.
For most visitors, the enchantment of the village is dispelled as soon as they feel the icy claws and teeth of the cold wind sweeping up from the south, shearing through their layers of clothing. Skaldvik was built in the path of this dreadful gale, which continues well past the village to harry fishers on the southern half of the lake.
In addition to fishers, shipbuilders, and scrimshanders, Skaldvik is home to miners who harvest gemstones from a cavern complex set into a low hill south and west of the settlement. Their efforts are hampered by creatures that occasionally find their way up into the mine. Whenever such creatures are discovered, the mine is sealed off and the clansfolk wait until a band of sellswords, or adventurers can be hired to clear it out.
