🕑 Added 2023-10-26 11:20:55 +0000 UTCπ―πΊβοΈ In the furthest reaches of the North, the Frostbite Clan of barbarians survived amidst endless snowstorms and towering giants. They were known to harness the power of the icy winds, painting their bodies with intricate blue tattoos signifying their bond with the cold. Legend tells of their leader, Bjarni Frostbeard, who single-handedly defeated an ice giant in combat, cementing the respect and uneasy truce between the giants and the Frostbite Clan.
Eira, a young warrior of the Snowfang tribe, set out on a quest to retrieve the legendary Crystal Spear, said to be lodged in the heart of the oldest giant in the North. Braving chilling winds and deadly frost wyrms, Eira's journey was a testament to the indomitable spirit of the northern barbarians. With her success, the tribes united under the Snowfang banner, keeping the encroaching giants at bay.
The Icerend Tribe, known for their white hair and pale blue eyes, shared an old alliance with the frost giants of the North. This bond was sealed when a barbarian chieftain saved a giant's child from a crevasse. In gratitude, the giants gifted the tribe the Heartstone, an artifact that could summon a blizzard. Together, giants and barbarians stood against common foes, keeping their snowy realm undisturbed.
Hidden within the snowy pine forests of the North, the Whisperclaw barbarians lived in harmony with nature. Their homes, built high in the trees, kept them safe from the roaming giants. Each full moon, they'd perform a dance, their feet barely touching the snow, believing it kept the giants docile and the snow spirits appeased.
A fierce rivalry existed between the northern Flamebearer barbarians and the ice giants. One fateful night, as the auroras lit up the sky, both sides clashed in a battle so fierce it's said the northern lights were born from their energy. In the aftermath, both sides, weary and respecting the other's strength, forged a pact: the Flamebearers would keep their fires, and the giants would keep their ice, ensuring a balance in the North. π―πΊβοΈ

Galdralag Horn
Wondrous item, uncommon
This intricately carved horn, believed to be made from the bone of a creature from far north. Engraved upon it are the ancient runes that read, βHeyri jΓΆtnar, heyri hrΓmΓΎursarβ
As an action, you can fill the horn with beer or mead and drink from it. When you do so, you gain the chilling touch of the nordic winds for 1 hour.
While under the effect and unarmored, when a creature hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to make the attacker take 1d6 cold damage as frost swiftly forms on their weapon or limb.
The horn loses its magical properties if filled with any liquid other than beer or mead. After benefiting from its magic, you cannot do so again until the next dawn.
