The frost giant town of Holvirgang is located in the far north of the witch realm of Irrisen, hard against the icy tundra of the Crown of the World. Built into the side of a glacier, the town is composed of an outer walled bailey open to all, and the caverns of Holvir carved into the ice, where only the frost giants are allowed.

Government

The keep is ruled by the frost giant Jarl Grungginnir, a devotee of the demon lord Kostchtchie, and his white dragon companion. Even though he is an ally of Queen Elvanna who sends regular levies of frost giant warriors (known as druzhinniks) to serve in her army, he is said to resent being subservient to a female.

Inhabitants

Holvirgang is a meeting place for Kellid traders from the Realm of the Mammoth Lords, merchants who travel over the Crown of the World, and fey from Irrisen. None but the frost giants are permitted to leave the outer bailey, however.

Notable inhabitants

• Yrsa Betyrina, Irrisen's ambassador in Holvirgang
• Holg Tuskrider, a merchant from Icestair who frequently visits Holvirgang
