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

| | | Any explorer foolhardy enough to enter will likely find their mind slowly degrading as the frozen castle eats their memories and stories. Between the warped halls and deep crevices ''might'' lie the secrets of [[Gods of the Unterzee|the gods]]... 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. |
| 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>
