Frosthold Campaign Setting Sourcebook
At the edge of the world, where the wind never truly rests and the ice remembers every footstep, there stands a village that refuses to fall.
Frosthold is not a place of heroes by legend or kings by birth. It is a frontier settlement carved from cold stone and harder resolve, perched between three frozen lochs in the far reaches of the Whispering Tundra. Here, survival is a daily ritual. Every lantern lit, every rope strung between buildings, every watch bell rung in the night exists for one reason: to endure.
The Frosthold Campaign Setting Sourcebook invites Dungeon Masters and players alike into a living, breathing arctic settlement—one shaped as much by its people as by the merciless land around them. This is a book about place, pressure, and persistence. It is about what happens when a small community becomes the fulcrum of much larger forces.

Within these pages, you’ll discover Frosthold as more than a dot on a map. You’ll explore its districts, landmarks, and icy approaches. You’ll meet the leaders, scouts, mystics, laborers, and quiet schemers who keep the village running through long winters and longer nights. You’ll learn how trade survives at the edge of the tundra, how faith is practiced beneath storm-dark skies, and how tradition becomes a weapon against despair.
This sourcebook is built to be played, not merely read. It provides a richly detailed sandbox designed for low-level intrigue, creeping dread, moral tension, and escalating danger. Frosthold works just as well as a campaign starting point as it does a remote outpost the party returns to again and again—watching it change, strain, and scar under the weight of events.
And events are coming.
Beneath the ice and beyond the horizon, ancient powers are stirring. The brood of the White Dragon, Idryth, hunts and claims territory with cold, predatory patience. To the frozen highlands, the Frost Giant Jarl Hrokan gathers strength, conquest burning as fiercely as the storms he commands. Frosthold sits directly between them—small, defiant, and dangerously valuable.
The Frosthold Campaign Setting Sourcebook lays the groundwork for what comes next.
