"I can’t believe we made it this far, look, I can see the treasure glinting in the back of the cavern! Relax guys, I have a good feeling about this, just a few more...alright…..I quit."
——Sebastian Pots, Adventuring Rogue
There is only one Jarl in a Frost Giant clan, and he is always the largest, strongest, and arguably smartest of his people. Respecting strength over all other things, a Jarl must be powerful and commanding to rule a clan of massive, hardened survivors. He has fought his way up through the ranks, most likely deposing the Jarl before him in honorable combat when the former leader grew too weak to defend his position. The leader of the Frost Giants is well equipped, with heavy plate armor and a massive greataxe, which he has mastered over many hard-won battles. Typically a bit older and wiser than his kin, the Jarl is also responsible for the protection and organization of his clan. Should they wish to ally with another group, or plan to raid a settlement, the Jarl handles all planning and negotiations. Refusing to obey his commands, not matter what race a being hails from, almost always results in execution.
