Economic Areas in Frostmaw
Near the Dragon Scale is the Hunters Market, a trading place for animal furs or other such trophies. It is officially illegal, but the guards turn a blind eye for the most part, only making an example from time to time to maintain the illusion of this particular law. A few of the most prominent dealers pay a good sum into the guards' pockets in order to keep their business going.
Political Information About Frostmaw
Frostmaw is ruled by a tribal monarchy, with the Jarl or Lady of the giants at its head. The giants here are very warlike, and when one giant grows too powerful, it is likely he will try to take over. Thus, there is always plenty of fighting to be done, even for outside mercenaries. Whichever faction loses these political struggles is usually forced into exile in the frozen wasteland west of the city, where they continue to launch raids on the members of the other faction. Needless to say, this constant fighting keeps the population at around zero growth.

History
Frostmaw was founded roughly fifty-five thousand years ago, around five thousand years after the giants entered Hollow. By this time, the giants had split into two clans, between whom there was much enmity: the Jotnar, who were to become the giants of Frostmaw, and the Traends, who would become the giants of Gualon. They warred constantly, over land, water, food, or anything really, with much loss on either side. Finally, the leader of the Jotnar, a giant by the name of Jarn, finally decided to lead his people to new lands, after inflicting a last, scathing blow on their rivals. Thus, Jarn became the first Jarl of Frostmaw.
Additionally, the Legend of the Snow Maiden tells of mythological birth of the Frost Giants.
