Another aspect of Ice Age life you may want to represent was the seasonal migration. Of course, the glaciers were completely inhospitable, but the tundra zone migrated way south, and during the summer, animals (and hunters) migrated into these tundra zones. This gives you two possibilities:
1) Some cultures still migrate even though the ice age is ending. Maybe the giants (or whomever) are still migratory, and cause all kinds of wars and conflicts as they move through the territory of other races that are trying to settle down.
2) A lot of that tundra area is now flooded: in order to have huge glacial ice caps, the sea level had to be much lower (the North Sea has turned out literally thousands and thousands of mammoth bones, for instance.) Some drastically important artifact, city, culture, etc. could have had a sort of Atlantis-like problem as the sea levels rose and wiped out their lands. Perhaps the PCs need to recover something from the bottom of the sea.
