Sossrim

The Sossrims were the inhabitants of Sossal. They were said to be distant relatives of the Frost Folk.

"Strange folk, the Sossrim -- strange magic, that is. I know they can jump from tree to tree as druids down here do. . . but I've never been across the glaciers to get there. Very few have, and they don't seem eager to welcome anyone. Hardy folk, who think nothing of striding out alone in fierce blizzards."

History
The Sossrim were founded by a clan of Rashemi warriors led by Soss in. This clan migrated north, traded with the dwarves of Dareth, and eventually settled in the alpine valleys of the Armridge Mountains, bordering the Great Glacier.

In -1967 DR, during the First Mulhorand-Unther War, sossrim were employed as mercenaries by both nations.

During the Orcgate Wars, many sossrim fought as mercenaries in the armies of Mulhorand alongside the Raumvirans and the Rashemi.

In the, the sossrim living in the Armridge Mountains fought back an invasion of frost giants led by the chieftain Orbrud of the Pines. They managed to drive the giants back, thanks to the help of wind genasi warriors that were sent by Arkhan Tallos of Raumathar. In gratitude for this aid, the sossrim pledged fealty to his nation.

In the, the sossrim living around the Great Glacier were united by Ylaethar "The Bear", who proclaimed himself king. They went on lead the sossrim south from their ancestral lands and found the nation of sossal.
