The Frozen Shore is a stretch of coastline that sits on the Bay of Ice, beyond the Wall.
The men of The Frozen Shore have queer names, as they name themselves after beasts of the region, while their women clad themselves in sealskins. They employ chariots made of walrus bone, pulled by dogs as large as direwolves, as transport, and also breed reindeer. Huts of ice are used by some inhabitants of the Frozen Shore, and while most free folk worship the old gods, some coastal tribes worship gods of snow and ice.
There are at least two factions of them, one wearing antlers on their hats and others wearing walrus tusks and the two sorts do not get along with each other. Wildlings from this area have oft raided the Westerosi Bear Island, and prior to Mance Rayder negotiating peace, the men of the Frozen Shore, particularly the walrus men, warred with the cannibal ice-river clans
The Great Walrus is one of the free folk leaders from the Frozen Shore.
❝A savage folk. The men are bad, the women worse.❞ — Tormund to Jon Snow (’A Dance with Dragons’, Chapter 58)
