The Frostmaw

An ice-throat cave off the Karth ford where rime-stalkers den in the cold dark.

A short climb off the timber ford at Karth Bridge, the rock opens in a throat of blue ice that never thaws, even in the Vale's mild seasons. Rime-stalkers den in its cold dark and come down to the road in lean winters, which is half of why House Vandahl keeps a watch on the ford at all. The tribes know the den and leave it be; the watch-tower's guards do not go in.
