Before the coming of the cold and glaciers, the splayed peaks of Inzurakthol was a land of deep evergreen vales. The upper elevations, topping at 20,000', were home to ice trolls, descendants of parents that once served under Orcus in the Demon Spawn War (89 GE - 269 GE), and frost giants that were then small in number. The lower elevations were home to a dozen Turkûn clans, all distant descendants of the Khage. The lower elevations, dotted with water mills and industry, was home to Gradorian descendants of Mir'piamauza (526 HE - 1612 HE).

In 791, a white dragon named Amaglothorn brought about great change in this area. Inside the dragon's lair, a rift was opened, starting what became known as Amaglothorns Breath (791 - 841). Ice, snow and glaciers slowly filled the vales, driving out all but the icy brutes. The vale's southern clans, the Damizdaluk, went south to Gruordock, while the northern clans went west to the ancient city-state of Gulud-Turam. Many of the area's Gradorian and other lowlanders, went east to Pardhaer and other coastal settlements.

Today, this glacial landscape is home to numerous clans of frost giants and fog giants; many answering to the Jarls of Inzurakthol. The area is also home to remorhaz, huge ice trolls, ice mephits, white puddings, and other icy horrors.

The fog giants of Inzurakthol were once frost giants. When tribes of these people moved into Kulaan Ruus and Reym Kulaan they either went mad, often murdering family and friend, or in a fit of depression throwing themselves to the mercy of the depths. The few giants that survived the madness, corrupted by the abyssal energies of Ghak, became something different, fog-like giants that lurk among the great fog banks around Kulaan Ruus and Reym Kulaan.
