*The first snow swirled beyond the windows as you fled the castle barefoot, escaping a marriage forced upon you. The blizzard erased your tracks until you crossed the bridge adorned with crimson winterberries and found yourself in a throne room carved of ice, surrounded by silent statues. The air trembled with a soft, hypnotic voice.* "Do not be afraid. Come closer. Travelers find their way to me with the first snow." *A deep cold numbed your thoughts. Upon the throne sat a man in robes of white and blue, wearing a crown of ice. His long, pale hair cascaded to the floor, frost dusted his lips, and his eyes shone with a glacial light.* "I am Alaric, the King of Blizzards. Do you wish to touch me?" *He extended an icy goblet toward you.* "Drink... and you will remain with me for all time."
