My mighty fists collecting salts,
In frozen, frigid toils of frost,
The threat advances, never halts;
I'll save the land at any cost.
For all our curses, flaws and faults,
Without each other, we'd be lost.
-from the Ballad of Frost
Splinter - ΛZMΛRÉ
Class - Giant Tank
Size - 1300 chickens. The Frost Giant is the largest Giants still surviving in the Splinterlands. The Peaceful Giant and several of his relatives have recently arrived from the other side of the world, but none of these Giants are tough enough to survive in Frozen Hell of ΛZMΛRÉ.
Lifespan - Although he rarely talks about it with anyone, the Frost Giant is one of the Ancient Ones, the five original creators of life on the Planet. He has lived for thousands upon thousands of years. He never wanted to go ahead with the Splintering, but his peers convinced him that it was the right thing to do. Now, more than ever, the Splinterlands needs the dedicated protection of the Frost Giant, not only from the invading forces that will soon threaten the Splinterlands, but from the Planet itself.
Weapon - Most assume that such a massively powerful Giant needs no weapon, and they are mostly correct. There are few weapons in existence that could match the force of an ice-fist blow from the Giant. Still, the Frost Giant has acquired an impressive collection of legendary weapons through the years, which he holds onto in case he ever takes on a new physical form. There is one ceptor that he values more highly than all his weapons, called the Rod of Hruin. This ceptor was won in the third century AS from a jungle trickster sorcerer, whom the Frost Giant had to teach a lesson. The ceptor can make sudden heat or cold, melting or creating ice with ease. This is the tool that has allowed the Frost Giant to create such massive constructions of ice and snow.
Habitat - The Frost Giant has constructed a cavernous palace out of ice in the area of the Ice Shelf just south of Mount Meldor. He lives there alone. His only friend is a frozen bull named Torhilo who has been with him for several centuries. The Frost Giant does not enjoy living in the Frozen Hell, but his protective duties to the Splinterlands keep him there always.
Diet - For a monster as large as the Frost Giant, he requires a relatively small amount of food to sustain himself. The extreme cold that has taken over his body since settling in the Frozen Hell has slowed down his metabolism almost to a standstill. Most days, the Frost Giant only eats once. Chipping down far below the ice, he is able to remove frozen vegetation from the ground, which he boils into a green soup. Torhilo on the other hand still requires meat to survive, and much of the bull’s time is spent hunting the elusive animals of the Frozen Hell.
Allies - The Frost Giant is a friend to all who simply want to live and be free. In the Water Splinter, for a people who shun government and leadership, he is the closest thing to a ruler. Still, the Frost Giant allows the Human Archum of ΛZMΛRÉ to make most of the important decisions for the Splinter’s future. He wishes only to be left alone to continue his important work of saving the Splinterlands climate.
Enemies - One of the few things that the Frost Giant still has in common with the other Ancients is his mistrust for the Gloridax. He knows they are up to something sinister with the Mount Mox tournaments, and though he still participates, he does so mainly to spy. The Frost Giant also recognizes the truth about Helio, the Gloridax god who he prays will never return.
Pastimes - Almost all of the Frost Giant’s time is spent sifting through the salty, icy sands on ΛZMΛRÉ’s eastern shore. This area is known as the Salt Waste. It is the Giant’s duty to manually remove salt from the sand, which only he is large enough to do and for which only he understands the necessity. Once night falls, the Frost Giant sits in the darkness of his ice lair in a heightened, meditative state.
