Frostbourne/History

The **history of the Frostbourne** begins long before *Fractures*. The  Frostbourne was established to protect the people of the northwest snow biomes from the undead. As they grew their army, they extended their protection to outside villages and took their position as "vanguards of the Overworld". The faction was led by a long line of Frostbourne Grandmasters.

Patrick Wynter served as Grandmaster for most of *Fractures*. With Herobrine's death, the Frostbourne proved victorious in the Undead War. The ambitions of the newly crowned Nether King led the  Nether Horde to conquer the End's Dragonspire, ruled by Frostbourne allies, and invade the Overworld's Far Plains. This triggered an ongoing war between the Frostbourne and the Horde.

## Before *Fractures*

―Hilda in "Gotta Get Outta Here"

The tundra is more dangerous than other biomes. Because of the cold, conditions are harsh and the undead do not burn in daylight. For braving these dangers, the people of the snow biomes are said to be the strongest humans in the Overworld. Early humans progressed their tech by hunting Withers to build beacons. People in the snow biomes lived in igloos before building walled cities to protect themselves.

The  Frostbourne was established to protect the people of the snow biomes from the undead. As it grew bigger, the faction built a castle for its base, developed an army, and extended its protection to outlying villages such as Glacierford. Throughout the history of the Frostbourne, it has been ruled by a long line of military leaders known as Grandmasters.

In recent years, the Frostbourne have been able to develop guns and airships. Lady Azura created the technology after she salvaged material from the wreckage of an End Ship in the tundra. While she found that the material provided large amounts of energy, it is also unstable and cannot be mass-produced.

At the beginning of *Fractures*, a knight named Theo served as the Frostbourne Grandmaster. A serious threat to the Frostbourne emerged after Herobrine, a necromancer, organized the  Undead into its own faction and massacred Glacierford in "The Struggle". He then began using it as a base for his undead army.

In "Cold as Ice", high-ranking Frostbourne members Patrick and Daryll find the zombie who once was Rain, a Glacierford resident, on a scouting mission. After bringing him back to the Frostbourne Castle, Azura is able to cure Rain with an experimental machine.

With the support of the Ender Watchers, the Frostbourne retake Glacierford in "We Are the Danger". However, Herobrine strikes an alliance with the  Nether Horde and retakes Glacierford in turn; Patrick succeeds Theo after his death during the battle. In "Just So You Know", Rain kills the Nether leaders on a personal vendetta, leaving the Undead vulnerable. Patrick sees an opportunity and, in "Goodbye", organizes a small party to wipe out the wither skeletons' camp. They lure Herobrine there;
