Early explorers discovered a mysterious humanoid statue in the area emblazoned with a nameplate that read 'Glacern', and realized that the native Droog and Krug refused to approach it. Because of this natural protection, the town of Glacern was built around the statue. When fortifications were completed at Frostspire Pass in 935, the 10th Legion's base of operations moved to nearby Glacern. Legionnaires who are on leave from patrol duty in the Alpine Caverns and Subterranean River to the north of town often spend their time drinking at the Lucky Hurggis Inn.
