	Since then, there has been little in the way of either exploration or settlement in the foothills. The locations of the entrances into the mountains are all but forgotten.

			In 826 [[PR]], this ledger was recovered from the mountains, Many different handwritings document who came on duty, any observed situations of note out on the mountain, delivery of supplies from the citadel and such happenings. It was likely written by historic dwarves, either belonging to [[Gammelgard]] or [[The Citadel of Huldus]]:<blockquote>''…Stanich arrived for duty and told us that the King had finally honored the request of the faithful. They will be leaving tomorrow in force to heed Moradin’s call and fight the forces of the Dragon Queen. It saddens me that I will not be down below for the festivities…..''

			== Residents ==
			A number of arctic tribes live on the mountains, including the '''Trinchilla Tribe''' at the base of the mountain, near [[Maris]]. The Trinchilla are known to live peacefully, enjoying silver and potpourri.

			Further up the mountain is the tribe of '''Gerbelle''', who are much less warm-hearted than the Trinchilla. They do not like invaders or visitors to their peaks, especially because they have, on occasion, been visited by [[Krampus]] after outsiders mentioned his name. Everyone is this tribe is very muscular and only assist any outsiders who had proven themselves in a test of strength.

			Finally, closest the mountain peaks are the '''Hampschtier Camps''', anyone arriving there will likely find a strange magical auras that the citizens use to shield themselves from the elements, and an amphitheater-like structure where they gather for warmth. In 895 [[PR]], the Hampschtiers were corrupted by [[The One That Waits]], leading to their chieftan to kill the rest of the villagers except for his son. Though visiting heroes were able to kill the corrupted chieftan, it is unknown if the son repopulated the Hampschtier camps in time.

	The Northern Snowy Mountains have existed as long as [[Isonhound]]. It would also seem that the dwarves that lived in the dwarven citadel beneath it have been there just as long. For hundreds of years trade routes through the foothills into the base of the mountains thrived as products of the races above such as cloth, wood and produce flowed into the dwarves. In return, a steady stream of precious stone, metal and gem artistry flowed out. The skill of the dwarven artists was well known and often unmatched.
