The Great Frost & The Origin

The Pre-Frost Era

Centuries ago, the world was a verdant sphere of green forests and blue oceans. Legends say the freezing began when the original sun simply… went out. The "Long Night" brought the temperature down to absolute zero within weeks.

The Growth of the Spire

As the surface froze, the Great Pine (now known as @The Aether-Yule Spire) was magically grown by the First Druids to pierce the cloud layer, seeking sunlight that no longer existed. It became the only organic thing strong enough to withstand the crushing cold.

The Migration

Civilization fled the surface. The Dwarves dug into @The Root-Ward to tap the planet's thermal core, while the Elves climbed to @The Frost-Canopy. Over generations, they met in the middle, forming @The Bough-Towns. The Spire is now the only known habitable zone in the universe.
