General Principles

• Thematic Relevance: Loot should reflect the harsh tundra environment, Abyssal influences, and the unique cultures of Frostbound Legacy.

• Narrative Integration: Loot should be tied to the story, providing rewards for player actions and advancing the narrative.

• Fair Distribution: Loot should be distributed fairly among the party, considering each player's role and contributions.

Special Loot Considerations

Important Notes
