The Icebound Source
Read Aloud
The cavern is filling with white mist as the frozen bridges crack beneath your feet. Veyr Frostvein raises his axe beside the blazing Pale Hearth, while dead oathbreakers close in along the crystal ledge. The imprisoned spirit beats once against the ice, and three crystal conduits flare toward failure.
