In the frozen tundra of the extreme North, there is the tall & good-natured Winter "Winny" Frostguild. Their frigid glassy skin is adorned with ivy vine tattoos, each telling tales of their alchemical past. Joining the military to provide their kin with potions and grenades, Winter discovered an unexpected strength in combat, weaving their alchemical knowledge seamlessly into their mastery of the shield & flail. Yet, societal prejudices as an intersex & trans woman cast shadows on her path. In the dim glow of her alchemy chamber, Winny skillfully weaves nature with arcane potential. To Winny, ancient texts unveil the secrets of ley lines, guiding her toward unparalleled power. However, the stealing of a ley line attracts the wrath of a formidable fae royal seeking retribution. As Winny hones the wild magic in her veins, the alchemist transforms into a sorceress. Will her peers see past her half-breed body to accept the warrior before them? Will she prevail against her new fae foe?
