The Adders HeadColdmarket was a deciding factor in the Blue Reachman Wars of Independence that ended in 1024. After many years of skirmishing and yet no decisive results, King Rylen Adshaw grew impatient, and Coldmarket saw opportunity. Conspiring with Celmaldor we presented an opportunity too good for the Rylen Adshaw to resist - word reached him of a meeting of the rebel leaders in Coldmarket - and prepared Coldmarket's surroundings. The Adshawman army was defeated and King Rylen was slain, marking the end of the Kingdom of Adshaw and their dominance in the Alenic Reach.\n\nTo this day Coldmarket stands ready to oppose any would be kings of the Reach, and remind them of the fate that befell Adshaw.

Finest of FursWhile their majesty doesn't compare to the exquisite garbs created by Celmaldorian elves, the furs of Coldmarket are widely regarded as the finest in all of the Reach, while also being far more practical than traditional elven clothing due to the region's cold climate. With the depletion of the Cannorian Beaver driving up the price of furs, they became a steady source of income for Coldmarket.

ThednkerkjaColdmarket boasts the largest Skaldhyrric population of all the cities of the Reach. In 1512 the then Mayor of Coldmarket, an Ulric Chapman, approved the expansion of the Thednkerkja, the Melt Church, which had originally been built in 502 upon what was said to built on the first lands to thaw after Elkaesal fell aslumber. The expanded temple itself was not finished until 1522 and it stood as the tallest Skaldhyrric temple south of the Giants Grave Sea since.
