Rime Elves
Since we've decided to not go to 4E after all with Icebound, largely due to the restrictions of the GSL, we now have some material that's pretty much going to be dead electrons. Rather than just destroy it completely, I felt that it made more sense to post it up here in case people wanted to see or use Icebound concepts in their 4E campaigns. Remember, this is considered CANCELLED, and not part of the Icebound product.
The Rime Elves are descendants of those Eladrin of the Exodus that found their natures distorted by both the severity of Aruz’s climates and their complete disconnect from the natural world that they once knew. Isolated, these elves slowly adjusted to the cold, becoming distant and often even vicious. Rime Elves are isolationist and fiercely territorial, with some tribes quite willing to cut down anyone that comes across them. As a general attitude, most Rime Elves could be considered ‘evil’, though there are some rare exceptions.

Resistance to Cold: Rime Elves gain a +5 racial bonus on any defense against cold, ice, or related effects. Fey Origin: Rime Elves are descended from those native to the Feywild, so they are considered fey creatures for the purposes and effects of creature origin. Trance: Rime Elves enter a trance state for sleep identical to the state for Eladrin. (See the Player’s Handbook) Chilling Touch: A Rime Elf can use ‘Chilling Touch’ as an at-will power.
Physical Qualities: Rime Elves have pale blue skin and dark, often raven-black hair. Their most distinctive feature, however, is their eyes, which are often deep reds and oranges, giving a striking contrast to the rest of their appearance. Rime Elves stand a little shorter and a little thinner than most Eladrin.
Regions: For the most part, the Rime Elves are found on the shores of the great northern continent of Kalta, which is considered their homeland. A handful of Rime Elves still exist around Haravok and Arukova, though they are considered unwelcome sights to most others.
