hehe....Talislanta is the game world for you then. It has a frozen land called the Northern Reaches where there is a blue-skinned race called the Mirin who have ice schooners on frozen Sea of Ice. Their main enemy are the Ice Giants. The Ice Giants are giant humanoid animated ice creatures ruled by a mysterious quasi-deity. It is rumored that the Ice Giant might some form of demon.
Also, Talislanta has none of the standard fantasy races (i.e. elves, dwarves, gnomes, halfling, orcs, etc.). In fact, the advertising slogan for Talislanta when it came out in the late 80's was "No Elves!" The new 5th edition has revised that slogan to "Still no Elves!"
