🏰 Fortresses (3)
Frostveil Hold (Capital Fortress)
The heart of Frostvein Hold, Frostveil Hold is a colossal citadel of blue-white stone and glacial ice, its walls threaded with ancient runes that glow softly beneath moonlight. Built into a frozen mountainside, it guards the deepest passes of the north and houses the High Runelord and the ancestral vaults.
Icewatch Bastion
A remote fortress perched on a wind-scoured ridge, overlooking frozen tundra and ancient migration routes. Icewatch Bastion serves as an early-warning post against invasion and monstrous incursions from the wastes.
Glacierfall Redoubt
Carved directly into a calving glacier, this fortress shifts slowly over decades. Glacierfall Redoubt protects sacred ice forges and stores relics entombed in eternal frost.
🌾 Farms (2)
Frostvein agriculture relies on cold-resistant methods and subterranean heat.
Rimefield Enclave
A sheltered valley where rune-warmed soil allows the growth of frost grains and pale root crops. Rimefield Enclave is vital to sustaining both Frostveil Hold and passing Skyrend allies.
Snowbarrow Pastures
A wide, windswept pasture where thick-furred livestock graze beneath watchtowers. Snowbarrow Pastures supplies meat, hides, and bone to the holdfasts.
