The @The Icy Belt is a cursed ring of frozen ruin that circles Everjoy like a scar the world cannot heal. Even before the Endless Night, this land was feared—a place where winds screamed like dying spirits and the ground cracked beneath travelers as if trying to swallow them whole. But now, beneath the moonless sky, the frost glows with infernal light. A great wound in reality has torn open at the center—a Hell Portal that belches both blizzard winds and searing heat, an impossible fusion of winter’s death and Hell’s furnace.
The @United Nations of Joy and the @The Knights of Xmas have held the perimeter for months, losing more soldiers than they can count. The cold alone can stop a heart. The heat alone can boil blood. The mix kills faster than either. @Mrs. Claus herself warns that stepping into the Icy Belt is not bravery—it is survival against a force that should not exist.
Guarding the portal is @Hell Yeti, a colossal abomination that should never have walked the mortal world. A creature of duality and torment, its hide flickers between frozen hide and molten stone, and its breath is a tortured blast of fire and frost that freezes flesh before bursting it apart. Driven by a hunger older than Everjoy, it lashes out with boundless hatred toward all living things. Legends say it was born when an ancient yeti fell into Hell and crawled out centuries later, changed into a monster that knows only hunger, rage, and the joy of annihilation.
Your mission is to push deep into the frozen wasteland, survive storms that peel skin, evade the warped creatures drawn to the portal, and destroy whatever anchors keep the Hell Portal open. Only then will the beast weaken—and only then will you have a chance to slay it.
If the Knights of Xmas succeed, the portal will collapse, sealing an artery of Hell. If they fail, Hell Yeti will break through the last defensive lines and bring winter and fire down upon @Everjoy until nothing remains but ice, ash, and bone.
