Talk:Shining White

Based on the descriptions (a giant-sized cave vs. a cairn and cuts through permafrost), it is possible that the Shining White that is home to the frost giants (described somewhere in The Hunter's Blade trilogy) is in fact different from the Shining White barbarian ancestral mound/burial cairn. Or perhaps the two are located in a larger general area known as Shining White and the name is simply attributed to either place. Coswig (talk) 21:09, December 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to agree. The Uthgardt Griffon Tribe's ancestral mound was south of the Dungeon of Death in the Lurkwood. The Frost Giant Lair felt like it should be further north and west. I'm not sure there's evidence of this though. I'd have to check the maps in the Hunter's Blades trilogy. -hashtalk 14:52, December 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * I went looking through the Hunter's Blade trilogy and part of the Companions Codex yesterday. The maps in them did not provide an exact location for the giant settlement of Shining White, but the descriptions seemed to indicate that it was somewhere North of Mithral Hall and Settlestone. Also I was looking at the "Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (3rd edition)" book just a moment ago and while it talks a lot about Gerti Orellsdotr, it doesn't name her settlement, though it does name the Griffon Tribe's ancient cairn as Shining White. SunderedShor (talk) 22:25, May 2, 2020 (UTC)
