Legends tell of the Kaiika once being hunted by a Leviathan. Losing many warriors, the Kaiika were eventually able to trap its soul in a gemstone.

Frost Giants have been known to attack the Kaiika, demolishing their villages and taking their kin. Yulora is one such village.

Humans tend to live above the ground in settlements close to sources of fresh water. Ever since the split between the Kingdom of Nalos and the Dragul during the Great War, all known Human settlements have been concentrated in Nalos, south of the Abandoned Lands.

Almost all Humans speak Nalos Common. On the other hand, even though the two languages share certain characteristics, Humans are rarely fluent in the Dragul Common Tongue.

Human communities tend to be internally diverse and multicultural. Most Humans also live in cities, towns, or villages alongside the other races of Nalos.

Humans are culturally diverse, with some traditions varying by region.

Young Kaiika can often be found entertaining themselves with a simple game. Six stand in a triangle formation at the end of a length of ice. A seventh hurls themselves down the ice, hoping to knock over as many as possible.

Entering the village of Yulora, you find the Frost Giant Lomar happily capturing Kaiika and placing them in cages.

• You attempt to defend the Kaiika.
  • Defeat Lomar and she retreats
  • Your efforts go to waste as she continues to capture her prey.

• You help Lomar collect more.
  • The warriors disperse, leaving Lomar alone to collect even more villagers.

While visiting the Glacial Palace, you witness many Frost Giants feasting on spits of roasted Kaiika meat. In the kitchen, more are being kept in cages.

• You help the Kaiika make their escape.
