Frost giant

Frost giants, called isejotunen in their own language, were large giants that lived in caverns or castles in cold, mountainous environments.

Description
Almost always evil creatures, these giants stood 20' (6.4 m) tall and weighed around 2800 lbs (1270 kg). They had white skin and either blue or dirty yellow hair and wore skins or pelts, along with jewelry they owned. Their eye color usually matched their hair color.

Combat
In combat, frost giants would hurl rocks and then close in with battleaxes. They were immune to cold, but particularly vulnerable to fire, and had low-light vision. Their power visual senses extended into a higher end of the visible spectrum, allowing them to see more easily through snow and blizzards than other creatures. They would take prisoners if possible.

Society
These giants lived up to 250 years in societies led by a "jarl" and often survived by means of hunts and raids, although they were not below trading if the need arose. In frost giant society, the most important bond except that of the ordning was the family bond. The ordning was determined by a combination of the individual's ability to wrestle and boast. Communication in the community was through the use of speaking Jotunise and Jotun.

Jarls
"Jarl" was the title used to describe the leader of a frost giant community. They were usually the most powerful in their tribe and usually had the best equipment.

Skald
A skald was a frost giant bard.
