Arktijaa (Guardian of the North)
Arktijaa is one of the last two remaining of his kind, known by many cultures as the frost giants. They once thrived throughout the world during the Ice Age, but it all changed as the earth started to get warmer and the ice that encased it was starting to melt away. The giants started to become hostile towards each other as the temperature started to rise.
During the "Great Melt" the giants fought among one another, claiming the lands that remained frozen as their own, but the habitable lands were dwindling along with the frost giants. Great battles were fought which scarred the lands and formed the world as we see it today.
By the end of the "Great Melt" only two giants remained. To the south, Antaktijaa and to the north Arktijaa. The two remain isolated in their frozen lands and will defend their home from any who dares to take it from them.
