| In ages past,
the great crystalline dragon Veeshan
chose Norrath as home for her brood,
clawing the earth and creating great
scars in which she deposited them,
to grow and flourish. In later times,
when ogres, giants and goblins had
conquered much of the planet, their
arrogance in attempting an assault
upon the Plane of Earth brought retribution
from The Rathe in the form of a great
curse. The once fertile homeland of
the giants was frozen along with those
of its surviving inhabitants who were
unable to flee. Only a group of shipwrecked
dwarves managed to find their way
beyond the Frigid Barrier to reach
the icy continent of Velious, and
they became the Coldain who were only
recently rediscovered by the gnomes
of Ak`Anon, with the help of their
marvelous ship, the Icebreaker. |
