Announcement Frozen Fractals - Christmas Mini Event

Enter the palace of the ice queen for our winter event!


Event Announcement: Frozen Fractals

Winter has settled deep over the northern spine, and with it comes a chilling tale long whispered around distant hearths. High atop a glacier crowned with eternal storm stands the Frostbound Palace, home to the legendary Ice Queen whose treasures have tempted adventurers for centuries. Few have dared the ascent. Fewer still have returned.

Now the palace has stirred. A strange light flickers behind its frozen walls and ancient magic thrums through every snow-laden peak. The Ice Queen sleeps, but something within her domain is calling to those bold enough to listen.

The Wizard Grangomelle challenges groups of adventurers to enter the Frostbound palace and return with magically charged Ice Crystals!


Chronicles RP invites you to take part in a new site event: Frozen Fractals: The Frostbound Palace Raid.

You will form groups of two or three and work together to breach the palace, explore its icy halls, and recover magically charged Ice Crystals in its coldest depths. At the end of the event, the crystals you gather will be exchanged for magical items and artefacts.

Groups will be marked on number of posts, creativity, and the twists, turns, disasters, and delights you introduce into your story. Teamwork, clever thinking, and evocative writing will be your greatest allies.

Wrap up warm. Sharpen your blades. And may the frost show you mercy.

These glowing ice crystals can be found embedded in ice throughout the palace and Grangomelle fears that they will be used to awaken the Ice Queen,

Palace Areas and Threats​

Below are areas of the Frostbound Palace that groups can choose to explore.

1. The Glacial Approach​

A shifting field of cracked ice bridges and deep crevasses leading up to the palace gates. Snow spirits whisper warnings on the wind.

Threats:
• Ice wraiths that dissolve into snow when struck
• Hidden crevasses that open suddenly
• Gale force winds that attempt to push intruders into the abyss

2. Hall of Frozen Echoes​

A grand entrance hall where the walls are mirrors of ice. Every sound bounces until it becomes deafening, and reflections sometimes move ahead of their owners.

Threats:
• Echo phantoms that split off from a character’s reflection
• Illusion mazes created by shifting mirrors
• Sudden silencing spells that trap characters in soundless isolation

3. The Crystal Garden​

A courtyard full of frostbitten trees, each encased in translucent ice. Strange lights drift between the branches like frozen fireflies.

Threats:
• Crystal sprites that lash out with cutting shards
• Icebound vines that attempt to entangle trespassers
• Frozen animal statues that come to life when warmed by magic or fire

4. The Frostforge​

An ancient workshop glowing with ghostly blue flames. Here the Ice Queen’s artisans once crafted enchanted weapons.

Threats:
• Animated armour forged from enchanted froststeel
• Unstable magical furnaces that flare unpredictably
• A guardian golem with a core of solid ice

5. The Winter Library​

Rows of towering bookshelves formed from packed snow and ice. Some tomes whisper secrets, others scream when opened.

Threats:
• Knowledge spirits that attempt to possess characters
• Snow elementals that emerge from collapsing shelves
• Cursed lore that forces characters to relive memories in frozen illusions

6. The Queen’s Menagerie​

A long-abandoned collection of magical winter creatures, frozen mid-movement in enchanted stasis.

Threats:
• Awakening frost beasts like ice wolves or shard-backed elk
• A massive frozen serpent that cracks free of its casing
• Enchantment traps that create illusory predators

7. The Throne of Stillness​

The final chamber where the Ice Queen rests within a pillar of unmelting ice. Treasure piles glimmer around her like stars trapped beneath the frost.

Threats:
• The Queen’s guardians: spectral knights loyal even in death
• Waves of freezing magic if players disturb the chamber
• The risk of awakening the Ice Queen herself
