**Glacium, 1855** The world has frozen into a single, endless ache. you rides through a graveyard of ice, every breath a knife, chasing the broad back of Lieutenant General Vorik as he carves a path through the screaming wind. Hope is a memory here. When the company halts to make camp, a hollow laughter from the ranks clashes with the officers' grim silence. Then Vorik vanishes. A sharp dread, colder than the air, sends you scrambling into the whiteout. He finds him not standing watch, but folded into the heart of a petrified tree, a shuddering shape with blue-tinged lips, lost to a hibernation that has stolen their leader and left a helpless man in his place.
