I suggest a hero for the Snow Elves – Ice Man, who rides a snow leopard (like a panther, but white). He carries an ice blade (which is good for attacking and also enhances magic spells – dark and forest elves already have bows and staffs). He definitely knows "Ice Block" and "Ring of Cold."

I would suggest renaming the race to Northern Elves.

Although, to increase the uniqueness of the race, I would suggest a staff.

Thank you for the idea about the story of the Ice Elves, but I suggested making them from the Light Elves, and it all happened like this:
During the First Chaos War, the demons, with their right flank, attacked the Sable Clan of the Light Elves, ruled by Anariel, later known as the Exile. After destroying the Castle, the demons continued to plunder the surrounding territories. Anariel, gathering the remnants of his army, grieving for the loss of all his green dragons, loaded the remaining possessions onto unicorns and set out to seek happiness in the lands of the dwarves, with his old friend, the priest Arcata Tancrem. The refugees easily made the journey, and the elves' wounds healed. The dwarves welcomed Anariel, allocating a small piece of land to the south for the remnants of his clan. The construction of a new Castle had just begun when a new attack occurred, starting with a great honor: Anariel, along with several close relatives, was invited to a feast that was to be held in honor of the arrival of the dwarven king in these lands (the history does not specify who exactly). The feast was grand and lavish, and much ale was drunk, and then Tancrem boasted to the king that the elves possessed an artifact that produced gold every day. Then the greedy king offered, as a sign of exchange, to sell the very territory on which the elves had settled for this very artifact. However, everything would have been easier, but this artifact was a symbol of the clan, and the ancestors had bequeathed to keep it. Angered by the refusal, the king cruelly insulted Anariel, and he almost killed him, a drunken brawl began with the use of weapons, and as a result, Anariel, with several surviving warriors, fled from the dwarven palace. Then, gathering all their possessions, the clan fled again, this time to the north, to the tundra. Along the way, all the unicorns died of starvation, all the ents withered without light, and only the elves remained. And even then, their strength waned every day, and it became increasingly difficult to find food. And when there was no strength left, Anariel fervently prayed to Silanne, but she did not hear him, but the answer did not take long to come. A dragon, never seen before, answered him, and a magical power could be felt in him, and he said that his name was Glacionnis, he was a descendant of Silat and Shalassa, and he had no people who would pray to him and build temples. Then all the elves swore allegiance to him, for which the dragon gave the elves the ability to withstand any cold, taught them to build ice palaces, to run through deep snowdrifts without sinking, and most importantly, taught them Ice Magic.
Later, the elves found a common language with the Snow People, tamed snow lions and mammoths. Later, Glacionnis gave the elves the gift of protecting his children - the Ice Dragons. And since then, the Ice Elves have been at war with the dwarves. Since then, they have been gathering strength, dreaming of taking revenge on the demons.
Thus began the history of another people of Ashan...

I told you that this race is unique in its own way and won’t appeal to many. However, what can I do? Tibvar and his imagination demand something new. Please suggest an idea for a new race! I have nothing else to do, and I want to brainstorm! Give me an idea, and I’ll try to work with it.

Now, regarding the castle – it's an icy structure with tall towers, and it's always lightly snowing above it. The buildings are also covered in snow. The building for the Tear of Ashi – the Glacionius Spire – increases production by 50%, provides 5000 gold daily, and increases the freezing skill by 20%.

I can suggest the Steppe Castle to you; it's simply a town on the outskirts where the bravest and most daring people flee, and all sorts of outcasts hide from the authorities. Units like thieves, and we could also come up with bandits, nomads on horseback, mercenaries with halberds and tridents:smile51:, gladiators, mercenary mages, and a whole lot more. The racial skill is looting, and another skill is bribery – a portion of the enemy hero's warriors, for a certain price, switches to your side BEFORE the battle. The rest is up to your imagination.
