Historical Background

Frostmane is apparently based on Hrímfaxi from Norse mythology. Hrimfaxi is the steed of Nott, goddess who is the personification of the night. Hrimfaxi is a horse who pulls her chariot around. It is he who covers the grass with dew or frost early in the morning. Hrimfaxi is Old Norse for "frost-mane".
