Before the founding of Frostmarch, Varda was just the wife of Talnar. When Talnar's tribe loosely unified the barbarians on the northern side of Goldscale Mountains, the chaos did not end due to internal turmoil. Varda effectively led a coup of all the former chieftans' wives. She challenged Talnar to a duel, staking her life against the right to rule. She had the support of the wives who had negotiated or subdued power from their husbands. There was a massive gathering to witness her duel for the throne. After a brutal one on one fight, she emerged victorious and took the proverbial throne with her husband's humbled blessings.

Once in power, Varda began enacting sweeping efforts to civilize the ragtag group of tribes. She immediately set about constructing a permanent settlement, Icewall, and to support that effort, mining towns started to appear. This resulted in a developing economy. Other villages started to pop up for various trades, like fishing, farming, and other manner of trade.

Once the nation of Frostmarch was official, she became known as the First Matriarch. To defend her developing nation she established a military force, and appointed her husband, Talnar, as the general.
