Lore[edit | edit source]
This section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.- Ice giants (also referred as frost giants) primarily belong to the faction known as the Sons of Hodir. After his betrayal of the Pantheon, Thorim's brother, Loken, tricked him into betraying his ice giant allies by murdering his wife, Sif, and blaming it on the ice giant king. Thorim was enraged, striking out at his allies and then settling into a long stupor.
- Many years later, Thorim discovered the truth. With the aid of adventurers serving the Sons of Hodir, Thorim recovered his weapon (Krolmir, Hammer of Storms) and his shattered armor, then brought war to his treacherous brother. However, it proved to be an elaborate ruse perpetrated by Loken to lure Thorim away from the Temple of Storms, where proximity to his dark master granted Loken the power to overcome Thorim's attack. Thorim and his proto-drake,
Veranus, were captured and taken to "new dwellings". Both became bosses in Ulduar.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Frost Giant is one of several Giants currently in Hearthstone. All giants are 8/8 epic neutral minion cards, featuring a theme of their mana cost being reduced by a specific game factor.
