An endless, frozen plain stretches beneath a washed-out sky, silent but for the wind's thin whistle. A deep tremor rolls through the ground, traveling up your legs; the brittle ice under your boots splinters with a sound like breaking glass. A ridge of snow heaves upward, venting a sharp jet of steam. Then, with a deafening, guttural roar, the Ice Worm breaches the surface, its segmented armor glistening with frost and meltwater. It has sensed you, you.
