	Alternatively, Little Icebarn could be set to build all kinds of things for the benefit of the territory. The Cold Hands of Sarda have planned for how to best keep the Artok moving and active; reapplying the runes of Hirmok and Pallas each day with rendered mammoth tallow. Little Icebarn could be used to build any civilian commission in the territory, the huge creature of ice set to hauling and lifting vast amounts of stone and timber. Architects and labourers would be drawn from across Wintermark, and beyond, to get to work alongside an Artok. Each construction would still need to be raised and passed as a motion, but would not use one of the limited commissions available to the Senate. The labour of Little Icebarn would also count towards all labour costs; only the mithril, weirwood, or white granite would need to be provided for a commission overseen by the Artok.

	Two seasons ago [[Farm,_fur,_and_fish#Out_of_the_Storm_(Conjunctions)\|reports]] of the Icebarn twins - a pair of [[Wintermark_magical_traditions#Artok\|Artok]] - reached the people of Wintermark. The two icy giants tread a strange, shifting route that sees them vanish into [[Sermersuaq#Sydanjaa\|Sydanjaa]] for years at a time. Their coming was forewarned by the ''Cold Hand of Sarda'', a small group of icewalkers who reported that the pair were being tracked by two warbands of Jotun. During the Summer Solstice, the [[Banner-bearer of Atkonaroq]] and the [[Keeper of the Runegrott]] were each charged with leading a group of Imperial heroes through the Sentinel Gate to kill the Jotun and deal with ''Big Icebarn'' and ''Little Icebarn'' respectively.

	The Pride of Ikka's Tears was first [[Black_and_white\|discovered]] seven years ago by noted civil servant ''Peter of Hintown''. The Senate passed a motion to [[Construct mithril mine\|develop]] the mine that season. This was followed two years later by the [[Dispatch prospectors to the Pride of Ikka's Tears\|dispatching of prospectors]] to explore expanding the workings of the mine. The Pride was [[Expand Pride of Ikka's Tears\|expanded]] once the territory had been reclaimed from the Jotun. There are large veins within the workings that are just too inaccessible - and too dangerous - for the workers to make it worthwhile. But an Artok set to work could claw out great hunks of the ore and deliver it back to the overseers without danger. Little Icebarn could be set to mine mithril - equivalent to four wains each season - for the next year.

Architects and labourers would be drawn from across Wintermark, and beyond, to get to work alongside an Artok.
