## Lore

The frozen depths weren't always as cruel as the human eyes were able to see. Some creatures from the past had considered it their very own utopia, a place to retreat to when the times would get rough. The beings of such place were living in great peace, along with their very own king, Permafrost, a simply unrivaled spirit of the cold. For him, these creatures were his children, his own to raise up, seeing as he was akin to them in his own past. Born from the essence of a thousand ice elementals, he had risen to greater power and ruled over his land kindhearted. Though, within the kindred spirit, there was his own despair residing, the worry of losing everything he worked towards to.

It is only the matter of unfortune, that such worry happens to come true, for a race from the depths of the void had fallen over the tundra, annihilating anything in sight. Permafrost's children were no exception, for they were destroyed within seconds. With all of his might, he tried to repell their attack, insisting to protect what's left, yet it was all for nothing. The damage was done and the spirit's pride has been broken. An internal unholy rage stirred within Permafrost. In his blindness, he absorbed the remaining souls of the void and became corrupt. An arctic wave has fallen upon the world, a call of despair - as a fallen spirit vowed to promise any creature of this world a cold and ruthless death, for his vengeance could never be satisfied.
