Frostreach (DO YOU WANNA BUILD A SNOWMAN)

Summary
Frostreach is among the northernmost cities that exist on Alternia and is the last magical stopping point before one reaches the Arctic Circle. The city itself is mostly inhabited by magic users, the predominant class being warlocks. Despite their battle-prone nature, or perhaps because of it, the magic users of Frostreach maintain friendly relations with the werebears of the region that are known as Panserbjorn. Residents also keep in contact with nearby werewolf packs who help to alert them when Hunters are found. Hunters are not welcome in the city or any of the surrounding area; those that are found are either killed or enslaved out of fear and distrust.

The Citywide Spell
Frostreach has had an enchantment on it for centuries that has allowed daemons to manifest as grubs/wrigglers/trolls are brought within the city. No one has really figured it out yet, though they have some vague outlines and ideas. Daemons remain with their trolls even after leaving the city, so many venture to Frostreach simply to discover their Daemon.

Daemons
Daemons are the unique familiars for the Frostreach magic users. They function the same, except that they are connected to their trolls far deeper than familiars are. Daemons are physical manifestations of a person’s soul. When one feels pain, so does the other and so on and so forth with other sensations. They are the same but also fairly different from each other, with traits that both compliment and clash. Trolls speak with their Daemons regularly and they possess the same intelligence as any troll or human. They talk as trolls do, but usually only to their partners as it is considered rude or awkward to speak with someone who is not their partner unless the situation is dire.

Daemons change shape up until a troll reaches puberty. They then “settle” into permanent forms that give insight as to who a troll really is and is like. They are always animals and their color, size, and condition differs as much as the rainbow.

The only exception to this is the werebears, who have their souls bound to their armor they craft for themselves to wear in battle.

Geography
Frostreach is situated in the freezing tundra and northern forests, with the city itself being built into the mountain and extending deep into the earth. The forests surrounding the city are teeming with dangerous creatures and werewolf packs not welcoming to outsiders. Still, there are multiple trade routes that lead to the mountain stronghold, though it is well traveled by bandits.
