[color=00aeef][b]The Flurry Forest[/b][/color] is a living forest, like all the forests that inhabit Gaea. Like the humans, there are good forests and there are bad ones; however, the Flurry Forest has a warm personality despite it being covered primarily in ice. The Flurry Forest is kind to those who are kind to it and will provide for those it likes. The forest will protect those it likes from evil, and warn them if evil is afoot. Travelers passing through the woods can survive the harshest of blizzards if the forest desires for them to live, while trespassers and the wicked find the forest to be a harsh place to camp.

There exists a spiritual power that keeps the forest alive like blood through veins. The power was granted by what humans believe to be The White God for to them it is the White God that is the good god. The Holy Knights use the name of the White God to command easy passage through the chill of the wood for what the White God giveth, it can taketh away. The Flurry Forest is fearful of this god and yields to the Holy Knight's demands. It can lead them to whoever they seek, but the forest can also lead the one being sought out of the woods if it favored them. The forest is not fond of mages or those sorcerers and witches that would steal its power to channel their selfish and destructive spells. The mana drained from the wood slowly reduces the forest to a frozen waste.

In these wastes and barren lands, live a people known as the [color=00aeef][b]Ice Folk[/b][/color] or the [color=00aeef][b]Jotun[/b][/color], the Ice Giants. The Jotun live in tents in the areas of the forest that have been drained of its mana. The giants range from 9 to 12 feet and they believe in their own gods. They ride great beasts and devour what they can in the Flurry Forest--the fauna and the mana. They are a frightening people that travelers avoid. The boundaries of their lands are marked by the skulls of trespassers stacked upon 8 ft spears, warning those not to enter their territory. Travelers still can succumb to feeding time, the time where the Jotun release their pets to hunt in the forest. Many have become food for the Jotun's beasts. Travelers should listen for horns for it is how the Jotun communicate long distances, and at night listen for howls for they are the Songs of Death. The death the beasts bring.
