-After the events of Frøsland during 10078, a massive issue with the gender ratio of the island has come to the forefront. Many men died in the zombie raids of the cities, leaving a ratio of 1 man to ~3.75 women across the island. Many women have stepped forward to take up arms as protectors of the cities, and as leaders. This is not the first time the island has experienced an issue with this, as in the raiding era of 10042 to 10074 much of the male population died or was enslaved by the strong of the land. Flekkrøya seemed immune to this problem, having focused inwards and defensive, instead of raiding their enemies for revenge. The zombie invasion just exacerbated this problem, further dwindling the male population.  +After the events of Frøsland during 2554, a massive issue with the gender ratio of the island has come to the forefront.

 Much of the population of Frøsland has rebounded due to external help. People from other planes began moving to the island and fixed the population problem, at the cost of damaging its culture significantly. Adventurers have had a clear impact and adjusted the everyday life of many of its citizens. There is currently a undercurrent movement of people towards 'the old ways', but due to the interference of a devil, it has lost a substantial portion of its movement.  Much of the population of Frøsland has rebounded due to external help.

 These temples typically consist of a long building with glass panes for the roof, to let in sunlight. Far longer than they are wide, with places to grow crops year round. These temples typically consist of a long building with glass panes for the roof, to let in sunlight.

 Priests of Osiris are typically given a spot on the council of each jarl, due to their influence and power within the region. They will be asked for their opinion of various things under their expertise, but otherwise are just given the position of head farmer and gatherer. Priests of Osiris are typically given a spot on the council of each jarl, due to their influence and power within the region.

 The priests of Isis prove valuable in a warring society. The priests of Isis are the only ones with dedicated temples within each town, all of which function as the hospital. Priests of Isis are specifically brought on the jarl’s council, not for their healing properties, but due to lack of temper. Isisites being as peaceful as they can be, are asked on how to handle many situations that occur during war, trade, battle, and day to day life. The priests of Isis prove valuable in a warring society.

 ==== At’ena: ==== ==== At’ena: ====
 Frøsland has its fair share of priests of At’ena, though instead of congregating in temples they have spread themselves across the land. The priests are specifically sought after to become on each jarl’s council as a way to read omens and help steer them towards a good future. While many At’enites insist on a rigid future, many of those with the sight have come to recognize that the visions they are given can be vague or incorrect. Alarm is only raised when a vision is particularly clear.  Frøsland has its fair share of priests of At’ena, though instead of congregating in temples they have spread themselves across the land.

 Torites are used as peacekeepers within each city, and are never used as part of combat outside the city walls against other cities forces. In some ways, they are granted immunity from the warrior culture that prevails on Frøsland. The tradeoff for this however, is lack of central structure and planning. Each city only has a handful of torites, who mostly just act as lawkeeper and act against corruption on behalf of the jarls. A torite is always on the council of the jarl, and functions largely independent of them, though they are often consulted.  Torites are used as peacekeepers within each city, and are never used as part of combat outside the city walls against other cities forces.

 Torites of Frøsland understand the culture of the land, and approve of the laws that the tribes fight by, even if barbaric. They act almost as referees during large scale battles, refusing to fight on either side, except where they see law or agreed upon rules of engagement have been violated. Torites of Frøsland understand the culture of the land, and approve of the laws that the tribes fight by, even if barbaric.

-Lastly, there was an actual intervention on behalf of T’or himself about two decades ago, on the issue of slavery on Frøsland. While trying to respect the culture of the land, T’or had grown ill will towards the issue of slavery on Frøsland, and gathered the leadership of the cities, by proxy of his priests. During the meeting of 6/29/10074, come to be known as ‘The Day of Rights’, T’or negotiated and instated laws that protected the slaves of the land. Giving them rights, protections, and avenues of recompense for mistreatment. The jarls agreed, as it gave protections to their own people who had been captured in the past, and it was so.

 ==== Rudri: ==== ==== Rudri: ====
 Rudri has long given up trying to get a foothold within Frøsland, due to the sheer brutality of the region. Even if they ended up being able to sneak their priests into the region, they have usually been caught so fast within the communities that they had no time to convert. These hirudo would typically be given fates worse than death. Rudri eventually gave up due to lack of return on investment, also seeing many of the other gods hadn’t bothered with the region. Rudri has long given up trying to get a foothold within Frøsland, due to the sheer brutality of the region.

-The actual culture of Frøsland has been twisted and warped by adventurers, and is a shell of its former self. Trade with off plane entities has introduced higher advanced technology and wealth. Raiding is unheard of now. Slavery was entirely abolished after The Long Dark of 10078, and many of those who continued the cycle are dead. There is currently a large cultural divide between the older generation, and the young generation who adapted to this new world.+The actual culture of Frøsland has been twisted and warped by adventurers, and is a shell of its former self.
