	''The world of Elanthia can be a cold place, and nothing exhibits this frigid fury than the state of the slow build of Northwatch, located in Icemule Trace. Comprised of giants, halflings, humans, and krolvin to name a few, a union of law and order from various nations continuously works to bring about structure to ensure the safety and security of Icemule. However, without the military structure found in the fortress of Ta'Vaalor or other more established nations, crime and hooliganism can rear its head on unsuspecting citizens. Where the Echoes of War, which I covered months ago, takes watch on the Frostmain Seas, a group of locals take vigilant watch to ensure the safety of their growing nation. These are the '''Regulators of the Northern Frontier.'''''<br>		''The world of Elanthia can be a cold place, and nothing exhibits this frigid fury than the state of the slow build of Northwatch, located in Icemule Trace.
