Frost Dwarves

Frost dwarves hail from the furthest north, living nomadic lives in frozen tundras and atop snow-capped mountains. From these icy places, they roam far and wide, hunting big game or searching for elemental artifacts. Some frost dwarves band together in small clans, other lead a hermit lifestyle, walking the frozen wastes alone.

Frost dwarves have blue skin and thick white hair. They are almost impervious to the cold, but still wear thick clothing, making them appear more rotund than they actually are.
