{{{description}}} On the snowy plains and elevations beyond humanity’s reckoning lurk spindly giants borne of malice, hunters of the tundra seeking to cut down anything that crosses their path. The few explorers that have survived an encounter with one of these creatures speak its name only in hushed whispers, warning others of the íssax when travelers grow light on the roads—monsters in the shapes of men with bodies of sharp ice and hearts as cold as death. Sages are unsure of how the icicle giants came to be, the territories they wander, or even if they truly exist at all, for to this day no íssax has ever been captured alive.
