The Sossrims (also spelled Sossarhim) are the inhabitants of distant Sossal, a frozen land
that lies between the Great Glacier and the Great Ice Sea. With
skin as pallid as snow and hair with the fine, silver tint of an
icicle, the Sossrims have completely adapted to their arctic environment.
Sossrims speak Damaran and use the Dethek runes.
They are believed to venerate the gods of the Faerûnian pantheon,
although the worship of a relatively benign aspect of
Auril seems to be predominant.
During the Orcgate Wars, the Sossrims fought in the armies
of Mulhorand alongside the Raumvirans and the Rashemi. After
the followers of Gruumsh were defeated, the Sossrims retreated
to their northern lands, where they established the isolated
kingdom of Sossal. The Sossrims briefly fell under the sway of
Raumathar at the height of that empire, but they have otherwise
retained their independence. Before the retreat of the Great
Glacier, Sossrim traders were seen as far south as northern
Impiltur, but now they rarely venture beyond Vaasa or the
northern reaches of Damara, Narfell, and Rashemen.
The Frost Folk are said to be distant relatives of the Sossrim.[1]
History
Edit
The Sossrim were founded by a clan of Rashemi warriors led by Soss in -2320 DR. [2]
