Their tribes share that icy landscape with arctic dwarves who enjoy sunbathing, sled-animals that are hardier than dogs, and fierce monsters that live nowhere else-and thrive in the freezing air.

Other D&D settings had also paid attention to cold-weather environments. The first such supplement was Dragonlance's DL6: "Dragons of Ice" (1985), while GAZ7: "The Northern Reaches" (1988) and HR1: Vikings Campaign Sourcebook (1992) did so for other worlds. Expanding the Realms. The Great Glacier was one of the areas from Greenwood's original Realms that was changed the most as it became part of TSR's Realms, which was created by divers hands. To start with, the Glacier got rolled back to provide space for Vaasa and Damara when the Bloodstone Lands were incorporated into the Realms. Then, Greenwood's original ideas of a fantasy, cold realm — full of ruined cities swallowed by glaciers, cold-weather monsters, and societies of giants — was never seen. Instead, Rick Swan defined TSR's official Glacier as the more realistic home of the Ulutiuns. Monsters of Note. "The Great Glacier" introduced the Realms sixth type of dwarves, the arctic dwarf. Future History. Some information on giants in the area appeared a few years later in FOR7: Giantcraft (1995). The Soldiers of Ice (1993) and The Ruin (2006) novels also feature the area.
