Frosthaven

Frosthaven Map

Frosthaven is currently ruled by the Frost family. In the past, other noble families have ruled over Frosthaven, it is a much sought after location to rule. The epicenter of trade for the interior lands, especially trade from Funta. It is second only to the Crown, but much less worldly in inhabitants. As most commoners who visit Frosthaven, it is called the true Irna capitol as the people mirror Irna as a whole.

The city is walled and many millennia ago (~2500ME), the eastern side was attacked by a dragon. Since then, the damaged areas have been rebuilt. The people come from all over Irna and there are a few foreigners here as well. The city is largely orderly, while there is a criminal enterprise, it isn't significant or, at least, not a major concern of the city guard. There are several major established religious sites here including Zopha, Pollaran, Caminus, and Echo. The surrounding farm to forest lands are largely peaceful with an occasional goblin or orc tribe moving in on the outskirts of the city. With plenty of adventurers in the city, the raiding parties from these tribes find that having an entire camp destroyed isn't worth the few cows they'd plunder.

The wharf has several dock sections, one for the cargo ships and passenger ships, one for the yachts of the rich and one for the military vessels. Frosthaven has become the central place for the Irna navy. Most of the navy is out patrolling for pirates and for incursions from other lands, but the headquarters are here. The last part of the docks includes the shipyards which produce all the navy ships plus a few commercial ships as well.

One more notable fact about Frosthaven is it has a regional court. Most cities and towns manage their own legal courts, Frosthaven is one of the first cities to have a court that is above the courts in the surrounding towns and cities. It gives the people a way to appeal the decision of the courts or nobles to a higher court which will rule on the matter and Frosthaven enforces that ruling.

Frosthaven Guards

Frosthaven has three guard levels. The Castle Guard, they wear red cloaks and patrol the castle, the naval shipyard, and the new portal gate. The Red Cloaks, as they're referred to, are the highest trained guards with the most experience in dealing with problems. They're often called out when the regular guards are overwhelmed or when there is a large disturbance. Also, when adventurers who believe they're above the law break the laws, the Red Cloaks come out and put them in their place.

The Blue Cloaks are the regular city guard, and they patrol the city to keep the peace. They have a heavy presence next to the docks and the trade area as that's where most of the visitors, especially sailors, come into Frosthaven. When dealing with larger disturbances, they'll call in more guards and if overwhelmed, will call in the Red Cloaks. Most of the guard is honest and hard working. There are always a few guards who are willing to accept bribes or look the other way.

Finally, the Grey Cloaks. These guards are stationed at the gates and monitor the walls. It is the place where all new guards are assigned and where the guard ready to leave the Red or Blue Cloaks retire to, for the most part, this is a symbolic station. The gate guards deal with questioning visitors and taxing them, commoner, noble and adventurer. They can turn away people who obviously are looking to cause problems, but otherwise, all are welcome. The wall guards haven't been called into service in over 100 years, but because of tradition and the past, they remain.

House Kronsta

House_Kronsta

This house is focused on shipping, either via caravan or, mostly, by shipping on seaborne vessels. They are starting to ship via flying ships, but that is extremely expensive and are for the most urgent, usually government, packages. This family rose to prominence as Irna becomes more and more settled and less wild wilderness. They started with a single coach between Frosthaven and The Crown and have, in the past few centuries grown to a worldwide business.

House Groff

House_Groff

The Groff family has long been in the shipwright business making plenty of the ships on the seas today. They pride themselves in making solid, fast, and capable ships. They make ships for general commercial and naval purposes. They'd tried to do yachts; however, it didn't prove profitable with their business model. As the first wars broke out, House Groff provided the fleets to The Crown and offered them barely over material costs. The emperor granted them the writ of nobility for their sacrifice for the war effort. Many of the family serve as officers in the Irna navy and the current leader of the family is a retired admiral.

House Sethan

House_Sethan

The Sethan is exclusively half elven. The house is unusual as it adopts half elvens into the fold, especially those with no real families or if the elven parent rejects the child after their human side has passed. They're almost as old as House Irna being recongized as a noble family from the earliest days. The house is content to manage the nation’s main orchards for a variety of fruits. They do their best to stay out of most politics and just manage their crops. They do have a good relationship with House Kronsta whom they ship all their products through.

House Junah

house_junah

The Junah family updated it's crest when it merged with the Fallop house, which was an older noble house. Fallop house was down to a single lady left who had great wealth and didn't want her family's memory to be forgotten. She searched for a noble family to merge with and found the Junah house willing to do so. Her family's crest had a lion on the blue background. When merged with the Junah family, her crest became the top left corner. She turned over her lands and wealth to the house and bore several heirs for the family.

The family is famous for its master chefs in baking. From everything to breads to desserts, the recipes are family secrets. They've expanded to all of Irna's lower cities, shipping their dough across the land for baking locally. Frosthaven is their test bed for all new creations, much to the joy of the citizens.

Clan Fullif

Clan_Fullif

Clan Fullif, a dwarven clan, are the premier stoneworkers in all of Dort. This family exemplifies everything about dwarven stereotypes, stoic workers, hardy drinkers, perfectionists with stone, fiercely loyal and little tolerance for frivolous endeavors. As one of the few dwarven noble families, much of the family marries heroic dwarven maidens of note from pillars of the dwarven community. Making it one of the healthiest stocks of nobility.

Baroth Tribe

Baroth_Tribe

Most tribes reside in the northern portion of Irna. The Baroth tribe migrated to lower Irna following their herds and eventually settled in the southern portion of Irna. As Frosthaven became more and more a center of business, the tribe spent more and more time there until they realized being in the, then, town would be better than losing animals in the commute. As Irna law, all tribal leaders are counted as noble without needing the normal paper work. The tribal elders affirm the leaders and that's sufficient. Baroth is a hybrid of both tribal and traditional nobility as the cheif is from the Baroth family and his ancestors continue the line.

House Walram

House_Walram

One of the only dragonborn noble houses in the world, a young house that earned its right to be called noble from the actions of a wealthy dragonborn family just over a millenium ago. Like House Sethan, House Walram adopts dragonborn into its family from time to time to strengthen and increase the house itself. The house is famous for hunting, from animals to fugatives. They can track and trace any being and return with it alive, if needed.
