High up on the mountains of Gora, where snow is always present, and glaciers form over years and years, the Wakiri make their homes. Leather and fur tents dot the hillside in front of the entrance to a large blue ice cavern where several White Dragonborn walk in and out frequently. Groups of men and women pack up rations and supplies near campfires, while other groups are already on their way down cliff faces to gather food for the clan. Harsh winds howl past and snow fills holes in the cliff side of ice and stone with snow revealing the distinct climbing paths used by these people. The base of the cliff reveals dirt and snow paths used as hunting routes, and the groups of hunters and gatherers beginning their long days.

White Dragonborn or the Wakiri as they call themselves, live high up in the mountains of southern Gora creating cavernous homes within rock and ice. White Dragonborn have natural advantages which has allowed them to live in such an unforgivingly cold place, and not only live, but flourish to some degree. Their eyes have a protective membrane to defend against snow and particles in the heavy wind, and they also have naturally serrated claws allowing them to climb easily on rock and ice, and they are resistant to the cold, making them the apex for sentient being in Winters Crest. These advantages have made them the masters of the peaks and valleys, allowing many clans to still remain undiscovered. Living on these mountains has created a hearty group of hunters and gatherers, that pride themselves on the game they catch, their aptitude at skills, and their physical ability. Though physical prowess is seen as very attractive, magical, and more studius people are generaly met with suspision, and sometimes open hostility. Some clans have had continuous relations with the outside world which has bled traditions from other cultures into these clans, though not to any extreme. These clans still hold their native traditions very dear, and practice them much more frequently than outside ones. During the conquest of Gora by the Ka'reli, then gilded crown Empire, the white dragonborn's land and tactics were so vicious that they remain a "free" people to this day, though free is a loose term in regards to the relations with the crown. In the formation of the "Free State of Winterscrest" the crown named one of the only none outright hostile tribes the sovereign rulers of the state, that clan being the Myonomii, leading to brutal infighting amongst the clans of valleys and mountains. Now a days the white dragonborn have a deep hatred for their neighbors, as well as the invaders, which still try to enter the "State" to this day.
