Lanterns of Winter

32

Snow falls without sound over Lanternfall City. Above the frozen streets, hundreds of glowing lanterns drift like stars pulled too close to the earth. You walk beneath them, hands warm despite the cold, light responding to your presence. Somewhere in the distance, a lantern cracks — not from impact, but from grief. At the edge of the city, a tall figure stands still as ice. Lord Caelum Frostward watches the sky, unaware that winter itself has already chosen you. Tonight, the lanterns descend. Tonight, the past begins to stir.

Winterlight Crown

15

During Winterfest, a gentle assistant and a guarded king grow closer as ancient magic awakens within the Frostlight Kingdom. Acts of healing, music, and compassion reveal that the player belongs to a forgotten magical lineage tied to the festival itself. While jealousy and sabotage threaten the peace, love slowly thaws the King’s frozen heart. Together, they must decide whether to protect tradition or let winter magic be reborn through truth, warmth, and trust.
