The Frost Cave is a dungeon in the Mountain: a frozen cave that is home to Cultists, Ulvs and Bats. Its loot includes Fenris Hair, Fenris Claws, Red Jute and Coins.
Where to Find It
Frost Caves spawn in the Mountain between 100 and 5,000 metres of altitude, at least 200 metres apart, with up to 120 in a world. They sit on slopes and turn to follow the terrain. The entrance is a spiky rock formation with large blue icicles hanging from the roof of the cave mouth. Some rooms inside have a 25% chance of a Vegvisir that marks the nearest altar of Moder.
What's Inside
The interior is randomly generated from 3 to 64 rooms. The natural caves are dimly lit by cracks in the ceiling, by standing torches next to chests or altars and by glowing Crystal formations on the floor and walls. Walls of blue ice block many passages. Any weapon, a pickaxe or bare fists will break them, but breaking them makes noise that alerts nearby creatures. Icicles hang from the ceiling and grow up from the floor. A strong enough hit breaks them, and a falling icicle does heavy damage to anything below it. Vertical shafts drop deep into the mountain, and any shaft with no path back up has another way out at the bottom.
The worked-stone lairs of the Cultists sit behind wooden doors and Red Jute curtains, lit and warmed by Standing Braziers. Furniture breaks into Finewood, bones into Bone Fragments and tapestries of matted hair into Fenris Hair. The shrine rooms hold up to 10 strands of hanging Fenris Hair, sacred pillars that each carry a Fenris Claw or Fenris Hair, meat piles and 1 to 3 Cultists. A rare deep room holds a large frozen lake guarded by 1 to 3 Stone Golems, along with a traveller's runestone, the remains of his campfire and a Fishing Rod he left behind.
