No spider ever wove so complex a web. The towers are utterly pristine, untouched by human life, but a pitiable encampment squats by the dock."''<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.fandom.com/wiki/Frostfound|Frostfound|Sunless Sea|}}</ref></blockquote>'''Frostfound''' is an ice castle located in the Northwest area of [[the Unterzee]].__forcetoc__

Every year the people of [[Irem]] and [[Whither]] meet here for contests; they are trying to determine the difference between a question and a riddle. Those who prove themselves in the contests can enter the castle, which is sacred ground - but nobody has been deemed worthy yet.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.fandom.com/wiki/Frostfound|Take tea with the squatters at the dock|Sunless Sea|}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.fandom.com/wiki/Frostfound|Ask the squatters about the castle|Sunless Sea|}}</ref>

==The Corridors of Frostfound==

{{major spoiler small}}<blockquote>''"Light! A hundred rich and blinding colours filter through the ice. It's like drinking a kaleidoscope. It's like being kidnapped by rainbows. The colours shift with every step you take, revealing shining corridors. In each and every corridor, your reflection waits."''<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.fandom.com/wiki/The_Corridors_of_Frostfound|The Corridors of Frostfound|Sunless Sea|}}</ref></blockquote>

This frozen castle consumes its visitors' memories and stories, slowly degrading their minds. But then again, sanity is the cardinal price of knowledge.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.fandom.com/wiki/The_Corridors_of_Frostfound|The Corridors of Frostfound|Sunless Sea|}}</ref>

The castle was built long ago using the memories of a [[Salt|Traveller]] who went East; the corridors of Frostfound are implied to have been shaped by their past life.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.fandom.com/wiki/Kingeater%27s_Castle|Lose your mind|Sunless Sea|}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.fandom.com/wiki/Chapel_of_Lights|Attend a service at the Chapel|Sunless Sea|}}</ref>
