Frost giants are blue-skinned giants who live in the coldest reaches of Xen'drik and Everice . [1] [4] [5] Frost giants also reside in Risia . [6]
Description
Frost giants resemble blue-skinned humanoids, but stand about 21 feet tall. Often bearded, their hair tends to be a light blue or white color. [1]
History
Most scholars agree that there was one race of giants during the Age of Giants , and that it was after the fall of the giants 40,000 years ago that they splintered into different kinds of giants. However, a small faction of scholars disagree and hold the opinion that the different kinds of giants, including frost giants, were present before the collapse. [7]
After the destruction of Xen'drik by the dragons , many giants fled to Everice . Their frost giants descendants have not forgotten the destruction and plan vengeance, often doing battle with a clan of white dragons sent to keep the giants in check. [5]
