History

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

Society
Kaiika communities live in villages, primarily in the Frozen Expanse. Homes are made from ice blocks. The Kaiika live in general isolation, only receiving news from the mainland from passing trader vessels, such as the Merrin's Hammer.
Socially, Kaiika fall into a number of classes. The village Elder will oversee all the happenings of the citizens. Warriors and hunters are trained in the use of spears. Sorcerers also have lived among the Kaiika, with Kayok the Slipperyquick being the last living example.
Kaikka primarly survive on a diet of fish. However, they are always willing to hunt bigger game such as snow leopards or bear. Their pelts can be used for trade. Scouts are excellent at finding such game.
Monks of the village will lead citizens in their worship of Shissatissk, the goddess of fishing.
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.
