The Snow Barbarians are the strongest and most
numerous of the northern peoples. Several decades ago
they captured the west coast below Glot and have
managed to hold it since. For a time, the Frost Barbarians
were under the thumb of the King of the Schnai,
but the Frutzii are now free except in pledge. This
has not affected general concord with either neighbor,
as all three consider the Great Kingdom and the
Sea Barons as their most natural source of easy loot
and profit. Although fighting invading humanoids
has become a national pastime, there are sufficient
men left to man the longships when campaigning
season in the south is at hand. It is rumored that the
Baron of Ratik has sent messages to the King of the
Schnai proposing four-way cooperation to take the
Hold of Stonefist and the Bone March. Supposedly
this proposal offers Glot and Krakenheim as possible
gains for the Schnai, while the Fruztii and Cruski
would divide the Hold, part of Timberway would be
returned to the Frost Barbarians, and Ratik would
rule Bone March. The reaction to these proposals
can not be guessed, but the Schnai are undoubtedly keeping
an eye on the joint Fruztii-Ratik ventures of late.
