The primordial Piranoth created the first frost giants. They arrived in Bal-Kriav and possibly other realms as soldiers carrying out the whims of their primordial masters. Following the Creation War, most primordials were driven back to Chaos. Many of their minions and soldiers, including the frost giants, were left behind on distant worlds. During the God Era, the angels and gods tracked down and imprisoned most of these former minions in places like Denerra.
Many frost giants revere Thyrm. The majority of Bal-Kriav's frost giants descend from the Thurfing Olvading bloodlines. This army of frost giants was commanded by Thyrm during the Second Battle of Regadnîn. In this engagement, Thyrm was captured and persuaded to serve the opposing side. The frost giant forces were dispersed at the Battle of Regadnîn. Upon learning of their leader's capture, the troops fragmented into tribal factions and retreated to remote regions of the Elephant Backbone.
In the God Era, frost giant elementalists employed shaping magic to transform water into ice. After a century, they had honed their command of ice magic to the point where they could fabricate galley-like vessels almost entirely from ice. The only non-ice components of these galleys were the oars and sails. Through this method, tribes departed Straiden and resettled in distant realms such as Brucrumus.
The domain with the highest concentration of frost giants is Igas. Many of them hail from a distant world, having been drawn through a rift, and have become pawns in the ongoing Thrones War ( 751 - present) .
