The Fortress of the Dead Jarl is a massive palace of ice located on the island of Foren in Eiselcross, once home to a group of frost giants.
Description[]
The fortress, which on the outside appears as a beautiful, crystalline castle, once housed a group of frost giants led by Jarl Conessa Berg. The Jarl collected many Aeorian relics from the ruins of the crashed city and brought them into the fortress,[1] until one of the objects she found transformed everyone in the castle into frost giant zombies.[2] These undead are trapped within the fortress, making it a dangerous venture despite the many potential rewards.[1]
In or before 836 PD, something caused a breach in the ice fortress, allowing some of the giants to escape their home and start attacking people in Eiselcross.[1]
After the apogee solstice of 843 PD Bells Hells and Essek Thelyss tried to Teleport to Eiselcross, and although the wizard's second attempt brought them to that region, they appeared near the ice castle instead of the valley they were aiming for. When the giant zombies in the area noticed them and attacked them, the group deemed the area too dangerous to stay, and Essek cast Teleport again before the undead frost giants reached them.[3]
