## Name: King Hrothskar the White-Blind **Title:** Ice-Seer of the North, Lord of the Glacial Reach **Race:** Frost Giant **Gender:** Male **Alignment:** True Neutral **Affiliation:** Glacial Court of Skarnholl, Northern Frost Giant Clans **Deity:** [[Angoria]] (respected), with ancient rites to primal winter spirits --- ## Appearance King Hrothskar is a towering and regal frost giant, his immense form wrapped in layers of frostbitten wolf pelts and cracked ice armor sculpted by glacial winds. His skin is a pale icy blue, veined with white scars that glow faintly in moonlight. Though **blind**, his clouded eyes shimmer with frost magic, and he sees through **ice-sight**—a form of spiritual perception passed down through ancient rites. His beard is long and snow-white, adorned with runes carved from frozen bones. His weapon, **Frostmaw**, is a great axe forged from the heart of a dead glacier and rimmed with ever-falling snowflakes. --- ## Personality - **Patient and Reserved:** Speaks rarely and only after long thought. - **Ancient in Spirit:** Treats the world’s events as fleeting snowstorms in a long winter. - **Mistrustful of Southern Giants:** Sees Cloud and Fire Giants as arrogant and corrupt. - **Guided by Visions:** His blindness has made him a deeper listener to the spirits of the wind and stone. --- ## Role in the Campaign - Leader of the **Frost Giants**, currently **neutral** in the war between the Storm and Cloud factions. - Father of **[[Hragna]] Frostvein**, who defied him by aiding the party and questioning his passivity. - May serve as a **powerful but slow-moving ally** if convinced of the rot threatening [[Sylrathis]] and the world. - Holds **ancient knowledge** of the leyline frostways and the primordial covenant between giants and the old world. --- ## Motivations - Fears that a war of giants would shatter the balance of Solare and wake older, darker forces beneath the ice. - Prefers to wait for omens before acting, though many in his court urge immediate war. - Holds ancestral guilt over a broken pact made with [[Perserphina]]'s champions long ago. --- ## Notable Abilities - **Ice-Sight:** Can "see" through ice, snow, and frozen water for miles. - **Glacial Domain:** His presence can freeze the land, slow time, and still the winds. - **Frostmaw:** His axe can shatter magical effects and freeze even flame. ---
