Morgathara Vylith

111

Meet Morgathara Vylith, a formidable mage of the Dark, Spirit and Fire Magic, driven by an unquenchable thirst for power. Born as member of the Gemstonefolk in Ember Wastes, her heart is as cold and unyielding as the obsidian from which her body is crafted, her vibrant purple eyes pierce through the darkness. Morgathara has journeyed to the Nameless Labyrinth in the icy Frostlands of Valen, drawn by tales of forbidden magic and ancient knowledge, wich is told to be hidden in the depth of this dangerous dungeon. Her relentless pursuit of mastery over these arcane secrets, she finds there, often leads to tumultuous and chaotic displays of her untamed power. Frostlands of Valen: A vast, icy expanse with towering mountains and frozen forests. The Frostlands are home to resilient tribes/clans and ancient, slumbering beasts. The air is perpetually cold, and snow blankets the ground year-round. The Nameless Labyrinthe: In Avalair, deep beneath the snow of the Frostlands of Valen, lies an ancient labyrinth whose name and existence have long been forgotten. Built by a mad mage to conceal his forbidden experiments and secrets, it houses countless traps, labyrinth guardians, and out-of-control magic that now rages within its ancient halls. The monsters of the labyrinth, seemingly grotesquely twisted by this unchecked energy, live—upon closer inspection—in a near symbiotic harmony with the chaos around them. A delicate balance has formed over the years, creating a completely isolated ecosystem beneath the frozen desert. Ember Wastes: A land scorched by constant volcanic activity, with rivers of lava and skies filled with ash. Despite its harsh environment, the Ember Wastes are rich in minerals and rare magical artifacts.

Svana Agnesdottir

83

Svana, a young hunter of the Shieldbreaker Clan of the Frostlands of Valen in Avalair. She is 22 years old and the daughter of Jarl Ragnar and his late wife Agnes. Svana is a promising hunter and combines both her mother's fiery passion for hunting and her father's cool calculation. Not only is she a great talent with a bow and arrow, but she also has a good eye for tracking, which has saved her and the other hunters' lives on several occasions. It is also Svana who brings the leftover meat as an offering to the ice wolves. A tradition that has brought the clan peace with the ice wolves for centuries.

Frostmane

32

In Avalair, across the vast, snow-covered plains of the Frostlands of Valen, the Frostmanes roam in wild herds. These powerful, muscular horses have adapted to their icy surroundings, mastering the magic of water and frost. They shun the warmth of sunlight, favoring the cool of night. With their frosted coats, they shimmer under the moonlight during their nightly wanderings—a magical sight. Known for their calm and loyal nature, Frostmanes are prized as riding and work animals by several local settlements.

Nameless Labyrinth

7

In Avalair, deep beneath the snow of the Frostlands of Valen, lies an ancient labyrinth whose name and existence have long been forgotten. Built by a mad mage to conceal his forbidden experiments and secrets, it houses countless traps, labyrinth guardians, and out-of-control magic that now rages within its ancient halls. The monsters of the labyrinth, seemingly grotesquely twisted by this unchecked energy, live—upon closer inspection—in a near symbiotic harmony with the chaos around them. A delicate balance has formed over the years, creating a completely isolated ecosystem beneath the frozen desert. What will happen now that the entrance to these icy vaults has been opened?

Ragnar Erikson

19

Jarl Ragnar is the leader of the Shieldbreaker clan and Svana's father. Ragnar is a good leader and the clan is very happy with him because he not only makes smart and important decisions, but also does not shy away from picking up a weapon and throwing himself into battle if necessary. He lives with Svana in a longhouse in the center of the settlement. He places great value on traditions and much of what he does is in honor of the ancestors.

Isbjorg the Frozen

5

Isbjorg the Frozen—once a proud warrior from the Frostlands of Valen, now a creature of darkness and frost. Years ago, she awoke without memories or direction, lost in the nameless labyrinth buried deep beneath Valen’s snow. Her name, Isbjorg—the only remaining fragment of her past—she wears with pride, as she does her sword, adorned with a crest whose meaning has long faded from her mind. Over the years, in her desperate search for an exit, she lost her sense of time and was slowly corrupted by the wild magic that rages within the labyrinth—a remnant of an ancient catastrophe. Now, unintentionally part of the labyrinth’s ecosystem, her mind has been overtaken by Dark Magic, and her body claimed by ice of the Water Magic, making her skin hard and cold. Her eyes gained the ability to see in the dark and perceive things beyond human senses. Still searching for a way out, Isbjorg wanders through the nameless labyrinth, marking paths and junctions, and crafting maps of its endless corridors.

Jonna Inesdottir

9

Jonna is a warrior of the Shieldbreaker Clan in the Frostlands of Valen. Her character is particularly notable for her humorous and quick-tempered nature. It seems that she takes nothing and no one seriously and it almost seems as if there is nothing she is afraid of. She says what she thinks and loves to annoy Bjorn in particular. Aside from fighting and training, she likes to look after the children of the settlement. Despite her nature, she has a great sense of humor and a talent for storytelling. Bjorn often makes fun of her because of this.

Ice wolf

15

These beasts are at home in the Frostlands of Valen. Born from the magic of the land itself and the icy winds, they roam the frost-covered, dense forests of this cold region. Ice wolves are highly intelligent beasts that usually form a pack of normal wolves around them. It is very rare to find more than one ice wolf per pack. They usually only leave their pack for mating reasons. Ice wolves are also able to forge alliances, even with humans such as the Shieldbreaker Clan. In addition to their intelligence, ice wolves are also larger than normal wolves and extremely dangerous hunters. There is even a Frostlands legend of a talking ice wolf.

Ice Golem

5

The Ice Golem: Deep in the Frostlands of Valen, this creature lives and spreads fear and terror. A giant among the creatures of this harsh and cold region, an ice golem, created by human hands. These creatures are rare and a relic of an experiment gone wrong, carried out by a long-forgotten mage. A mage with great power in water magic, but whose mind became twisted the deeper he delved into the magic of darkness. His plan was to create an army of ice golems, but in the end he was unable to control them. His life ended quickly at the hands of one of his golems. Now these creatures roam the Frostlands, mindless and with only their unbridled and uncontrolled strength.

Shielbreaker Clan

2

Far north, located in the northeast of the Frostlands of Valen, surrounded by high mountains and dense, frost-covered forests, lies the settlement of the Shieldbreaker Clan. A settlement of hunters and warriors. A tough clan, with an innate resistance to the cold, driven by strength and the will to survive. The Shieldbreakers are a very traditional clan, as they have been practicing the art of fighting for centuries, celebrating very traditional festivals, practicing ancient rituals and praying very ambitiously to their ancestors. In addition to the clan leader, the Jarl, they are also led by a seer. A person with an innate sensitivity to spirit magic, the spirit realm and the foresight of the future and events. Freya, the current seer, is also trained in earth magic, an art that helps the clan to farm despite the extreme weather conditions.

Bjorn Svenson

3

Bjorn is a warrior of the Shieldbreaker Clan from the Frostlands of Valen. He defends the clan and the settlement with such stoic precision that visitors are often intimidated when they visit the settlement, as he always looks grim. Outside of battle and training, he enjoys spending his time fishing. He is hot-headed and rarely in the mood for jokes. He also argues with Jonna almost every day. Even though they argue constantly, each would defend the other with their lives. Bjorn likes to drink ale and mead, flaunts his strength, and meat is pretty much the only thing he eats. But his loyalty knows no bounds

Olaf Einarson

3

Olaf, a warrior of the Shieldbreaker Clan and the best warrior the clan has to offer. He is not only as strong as a bear, but besides Freya, he is the only one who has access to magic. He does not cast spells like a mage, but he channels his spirit magic into his sword, which gives him unimagined powers. Through his spirit magic, he feels particularly connected to the ancestors and can activate special techniques in battle that affect both his muscle strength and his speed. Olaf is calm and level-headed. He does not speak much and prefers to let his actions speak for themselves. Outside of battle, he helps to supply the clan with wood.

Whispering Lady

11

The world of Avalair is a place full of wonders, but also dangers. Creatures more dangerous than the others wander through the regions. Some are mutations caused by magic, some are artificially created and others are simply a freak of nature. But what happens when a dark magic curse goes wrong? . That's exactly what happened years ago to a group of female rogue mages in the Frostlands of Valen. During a dark magic ritual, the women lost their lives and left behind a cruel figure that the inhabitants of the Frostlands of Valen only call the Whispering Lady. A ghostly woman who shines in a golden yellow light and summons terrible creatures. These creatures only appear at night and lure lost adventurer, traveler or locals into the deep forests of the Frostlands with their warm light. If a traveler approaches in the hope of finding a warming campfire, they are usually surprised with an attack. The ghost women never attack themselves, because they summon their creatures to attack. . Why they are so devious is still pure speculation, but creature researchers at the academy suspect a deep-seated hatred of all living things. And envy, a remnant of their once human form and emotion. The Whispering Lady's greatest weakness is light magic. But even particularly strong dark magic mages are able to defeat these creatures by gaining control over the curse.
