The Ice Wolf Clan was among the big clans inside the towers, especially because of their incredible fighting ability.
Yet despite their overwhelming strength, the clan possessed surprisingly few members.
Part of it was due to their harsh way of life. Only the strong survived among the Ice Wolves, and weakness was treated almost like a disease.
Children were trained from the moment they could walk, pushed into brutal combat exercises and hunts long before adulthood. Many failed to endure such a cruel upbringing.
The other reason was far simpler: the Ice Wolf Clan hardly accepted outsiders. Unlike other clans, they didn't go after talented newcomers to recruit.
They were traditionalist people, obsessed with preserving the purity of their bloodline, customs, and martial arts. Foreigners were viewed with suspicion, and even allies who had fought beside them for decades were rarely treated as true members of the clan.
