Origins and Heritage
The Frostkin hail entirely from the Plane of Ice, birthed in the silent heart of ancient glaciers and drifting ice fields. In those frozen expanses, winds and snowfall coalesce into sentient forms, each Frostkin emerging as a living embodiment of winter’s stillness. Their existence is shaped by a primordial bond to ice itself—no mortal blood flows within them. As such, they stand apart from the heated bustle of mortal domains, figures of quiet resolve carved directly from the eternal cold.

Physical Traits
Appearing as elegant humanoid silhouettes sculpted from opaque or translucent ice, Frostkin radiate a crisp chill. Veins of cobalt or silver glimmer through their bodies, pulsing with cold energy. Their faces bear smooth, minimal features with eyes that shine like embedded crystals. Hair often resembles delicate icicles or carved crests of frost, and their limbs flex with a subtle crackling sound, hinting at the tremendous durability of their elemental flesh. Though they move with a fluid grace, each step exudes the silent weight of a drifting iceberg.

Elemental Abilities
Because their cores are infused with the Plane of Ice’s essence, Frostkin manipulate cold with effortless ease. They can conjure swirling snow flurries, create sheets of ice beneath their feet, or freeze moisture in the air into razor-sharp shards. Their bodies shrug off the most frigid conditions, remaining impervious where others would succumb. When roused to battle, some Frostkin can draw upon the plane’s raw might to sculpt towering Frostbound Wardens, icy constructs that echo their own strength. However, such displays sap their reserves, requiring prolonged stillness or a return to their frozen homelands to fully recover.

Personality and Behavior
Much like glaciers, Frostkin are methodical and contemplative, taking time to observe before acting. They speak in measured tones, weighing words as carefully as precious ice crystals. Though reserved, they are not without warmth of spirit—merely sparing with it. Their bonds, once forged, carry the steadfastness of permafrost. Unhurried and patient, they approach challenges with unwavering focus rather than impulsive zeal. Nevertheless, they can be formidable when provoked, channeling centuries of winter’s raw power to defend themselves or those under their protection.

Society and Culture
Scattered enclaves of Frostkin exist throughout the Plane of Ice, where they gather in quiet assemblies among towering cliffs of translucent blue and crystalline caverns echoing with arctic winds. Their rituals center on shaping ice into artful structures or sculptures that commemorate the great expanses of their realm. Leadership within these enclaves stems from composure and insight, rather than aggression or lineage. While many Frostkin remain in the chill serenity of their origin plane, some wander to other realms, bringing with them an aura of hushed majesty and the careful wisdom of ancient snows. Even among bustling mortal lands, they stand apart, crystalline paragons of winter’s still, enduring might.
