Glacierford

Fractures Series
Storyline by Rainimator and the Production Team

* Image

**Glacierford,** nestled within the Frostbourne Tundra, is a large, walled village, introduced in The Struggle. Apparently, the village is a day's journey from the Frostbourne Castle, but its significance is mainly attached to being the first land taken by the Undead Reign, and being the first home of Rain and Abigail Crysteffor.

After the Outbreak at Glacierford, it became a fortress and barracks for the Undead, and was fought for between the Frostbourne and the Undead.

After the conclusion of the first season, the Frostbourne rebuilt the village.

## Information

Glacierford follows a typical village outline, lying within a snow biome. However, the village has a large castle fort and gate as well, with archer towers and a courtyard.

After Herobrine's takeover, the Undead spread through the village, making use of its open spaces for training and fighting, as well as stationing ballistae for defensive purposes.

Following the battle in We Are the Danger, the village is seen heavily damaged from the fighting, as well as on fire. After the disbandment of the Undead and Herobrine's death, it was rebuilt.

## Story

### History

Glacierford was once a village in the tundra, near the caves and the Frostbourne Castle, its people adapted to the icy cold of the tundra. Rain, Abigail Crysteffor, Kyle and a number of simple village-folk thrived there in peace.

### Fractures

#### *The Struggle*

     The village first appeared in The Struggle, as Herobrine and his horde of Zombies crawled from the deep, staging an attack on Glacierford. A zombie managed to slowly infect a villager named Oscar, spurring pandemonium between the villagers and alerting the blacksmith, Kyle, of the invasion; later, a scout named Robin sighted the approach of the Undead to Glacierford, but was found and viciously pursued.

As Rain, a bow-armed Abigail, Robin, Camyo, and Zach fiercely retaliated against Herobrine, Kyle began an honorable last stand, evacuating the populace and standing lone. As he took out the invaders, he bought precious time, but inevitably fell against Herobrine. Now, the village in ruins, Rain and the few survivors retreated, but all were slaughtered.

#### *Cold as Ice*

The village made a minor appearance in Cold as Ice, where Herobrine notices Rain and the Ender Dragon flying over it.

#### *Poison*

The village also made a minor appearance in Poison, through a Dream World.

#### *We Are the Danger*

Glacierford reappeared in We Are the Danger, where the Frostbourne, with the support of the Ender Watchers and Rain, marched forth to reclaim the village in what would be known as the Battle for Glacierford.

They succeeded for a short amount of time before the Nether Horde joined sides with Herobrine, delivering a viscous counterattack which swayed the battle into their victory. During the attack, Rain encountered and was forced to battle a revived Abigail, who was now on the side of the Nether Horde. He quickly immobilized her, as he did not have the heart to kill her, and fled.

#### *Just So You Know*

The village in seen in photos as well as physically for a few moments in Just So You Know. It had been burnt to the ground with bodies of the Frostbourne army, several Endermen and Iron Golems.

#### *Wither Heart*

The village made a brief appearance in Wither Heart, where Rain and Stella walked through to village while on their way to find the cure for Rain's Wither Heart Curse.

#### *Be Afraid*

The village made a minor appearance in Be Afraid, where their were many villagers living there as well as some Frostbourne Footsoldiers and Iron Golems guarding it.

#### *Clear Skies*

Glacierford was the setting of several flashbacks depicting the childhood of Rain and Abigail Crysteffor; in the present-day, Rain also revisited some of the areas he reminisced of.
