Wild creatures, adapted to the cold, roam the landscape and can pose dangers to unwary travelers. However, some have been tamed and are used as mounts or beasts of burden by the Spirefolk.

Talonspire's primary exports are minerals and unique ice crafts. The glaciers and mountains hold a wealth of precious stones, which the Spirefolk expertly mine. The Memory Crystals, although sacred, are sometimes traded to scholars or historians from other lands, eager to glimpse the past.
