The hardy Ice Men of Forochel bay, known in Ardor & Eriador as the Forodwaith. They live in the frozen north, a land that has many threats, not the least being the hideous Snow Trolls. These folk come into the annals of history rarely. The last time they came to note was when they gave shelter to Arvedui, the last king of Arthedain, as he fled from the fall of his kingdom.
Attributes: | | Labba Labba is a little known language south of Forochel. While the Lossoth themselves range across much of the frozen north, their langauge is something that few of even those they have contact with learn. For dealing with outsiders, the Lossoth of Forochel learn either Westron or Sindarin.
