Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.   Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.   Hairy. You are so hairy that you have advantage on saving throws against cold and you have resistance to cold damage. Your Charisma score decreases by 2.   Wild Spirit.

You have advantage when you make Wisdom (Survival) checks to forage for food or water.   Honey Cakes. You start with three Northman honey cakes.

You may freely acquire up to 3 honey cakes per week when visiting your homeland.   Dwarven Toy Market. You may use an action to identify one magic item of Dwarven origin (instead of doing it during a short rest).
