Many of them see the Brevan newcomers as threats and competitors for the precious few places where crops can be sown.  In the wake of the Old Nornans, their primitive predecessors, the Angril (Ice Barbarians) migrated to the southern tip of the Everfrost and have raided the newly arrived Brevans.  Likewise, the strange Uldras (Ice Fey) have taken exception to the invasion of their sacred woods.  Even worse, the alien horrors from the Doom still haunt the icy depths, and it is said that something primeval and best-left forgotten stirs in the North…Still, the settlers have worked too hard to abandon their new homes.  Three generations of Brevans have passed since the first boats touched the shores of the Everfrost, and a fierce pride has risen among them.  Their steadfastness in fending off the elements and their attackers; their willingness to toil long hours in cold, dark mines; their dedication to each other and to ensuring their safety: these traits make the settlers even more determined to hold fast to what they have worked so hard to achieve.</blockquote>
