Heroes (lvl 16): Vladimir, Dafaelyn, Amani, Regall, Gunnar, Varri

676 MR - Autumn

The heroes cross the shattered causeway into the Ice Queen’s citadel, its towers glittering like spears of crystal against a dark sky. The throne room lies ahead, vast and cold, its floor a mosaic of white marble veined with frost. At its center stands no queen in mortal form—only a colossal ice dragon, her scales shimmering like frozen moonlight, her eyes alight with murderous fury.

The battle begins in a storm of wings and claws. Her breath, a cone of pure winter, sweeps across the hall, freezing stone and steel alike. The thunder of her steps rattles the pillars; each tail strike sends shards of marble flying. The very air is so cold it burns.

As the fight rages, her magic begins to twist the battlefield. Razor-sharp icicles crash from the ceiling. Sheets of ice erupt from the floor, forcing the heroes to adapt or be trapped. The roar of the blizzard drowns all but the clash of weapons and the shouts of defiance.

The heroes press on, every strike carving through ancient magic. The dragon’s rage only grows—wings buffet them like hurricanes, her talons tear at the marble. But the tide turns when Gunnar charges through the chaos, his blade glowing in the stormlight. With one final, crushing blow, he pierces the Ice Queen’s heart.

Her roar echoes once, then fades. The magic in her veins flows into Gunnar, sealing him as her conqueror. Her colossal body collapses, shattering the frostbound floor. The citadel groans as its foundation gives way, towers and walls crumbling into the abyss.

When the snow clears, the battle is over. Huralla the Archdruid approaches, her voice solemn.

The Ice Queen is gone. But to the east, the Gorgon waits—and his shadow falls long across the land.
