Campaign Details
The Shattered Crown of the Frozen Wastes
Objectives
- Retrieve the shattered pieces of the Frost King's Crown.
- Stop the Frost King's resurrection.
- Prevent the eternal winter from consuming the realm.
Setting
In the heart of the frozen wastes, a once prosperous kingdom lies in ruins. The Frost King, a powerful and evil being, was overthrown by a group of heroes. However, in his last moments, the Frost King's crown was shattered into five pieces and scattered across the realm.
Now, years later, the Frost King's loyal followers, the Frostwalkers, seek to gather the pieces and resurrect their fallen master. The eternal winter has begun to consume the realm, and the once lush lands are now barren and desolate.
The adventurers start in the small settlement of Icehaven, the last bastion of hope in the frozen wastes. Icehaven is located on the outskirts of the wastes and is the only place where the eternal winter has not yet reached.
