| | '''Frostfound''' is quite literally an ice castle. 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 done so yet... |

| 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.miraheze.org/wiki/Kingeater%27s_Castle|Lose your mind|Sunless Sea}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/Chapel_of_Lights|Attend a service at the Chapel|Sunless Sea}}</ref>

| | Any explorer foolhardy enough to enter will likely find their mind slowly degrade as the frozen castle eats their memories and stories. As the halls warp and the crevices deepen, a iron-minded captain can possibly find hints about a [[Gods of the Unterzee|god's]] true nature, but let's just say they don't like having their secrets revealed. It's possible that this castle, along with the [[Kingeater's Castle|other]], was erected by the Traveller on his way East, but nothing can be known for sure. |
