The Academy of Frost serves only the just-discovered Aygeema of Cold, Neeva, and is headed up by Arch-Warden Aelthos.  Having no historical precendent, there is not yet anyone of higher (epic) rank.  Cultivating the virtues of repose, resolution, mastery over emotions, self, and passions, contentment in all circumstances, survival, and devotion, the frost wardens are by far the smallest school, although growing quickly.  Initiates are trained first in meditation and the use of polearms, representing the blend of mystical and physical unique to this school.  Aelthos's background in the priestly and prophetic academies is seen in the devotion shown to Neeva and the use of spells.  His time with the Shenos Khit learning ascetic martial arts and time in the gladatorial arenas making use of polearms are reflected in the trademark use of polearms and acrobatic physical combat.
