Player Hook: Trouble in Snowhaven Village

Snowhaven Village is famous for its festive winter celebrations and picturesque, snow-blanketed streets. The scent of woodsmoke, mulled wine, and hot cocoa drifts between quaint homes. But this year, the joy has turned to fear.

Elyndra Frostwind, the legendary Ice Witch of the South, senses a dangerous shift in the magic she uses to maintain the winter balance. An unnatural, deadly cold now spreads beyond her control. She pleads for your help.

To save the village, you must travel to the long-abandoned Frostwood Mansion, believed to be the source of the disturbance. Along the way, you’ll face frostbitten foes, arcane traps, and an ancient curse threatening to plunge the region into endless winter.
