A legendary friendly Sidhe race of the far southern Forgotten Sea, said to live on icebergs and ice sheets and to be born, age and die with their ice as dryads do with trees. Sailors believe they can command the weather, cursing crews that harm them and helping those that aid them.
From the book
According to old tradition, a forgotten race of friendly Sidhe, the Ice Nymphs, lives in the far south of the Forgotten Sea. They are said to dwell on icebergs, floes and the great ice sheets, and, like dryads bound to their trees, each is born, grows old and dies along with its own mass of ice.
Sailors believe their ancient magic can command the weather in those waters, and that they will curse a crew that harms them (for example by lighting fires on the ice) and help one that does them a kindness.
