They came in all sizes, all forms. Some had powers and some had none. And it was said that the snow had followed them down the peak. But in the end, it was them the brought the snow. And they came with a wail and a shriek."
-The Caretaker
-The Caretaker
The visitors that had ascended to Urngor Orhim were greeted with sunny frost, a brisk temperature, and the pale crescendo of the sun along the snow capped summits of the Spine that wedged itself in the backdrop of the Crobhear lake. But that was soon gone as the draft of the mountain allowed itself in through open windows and tattered shutters. Flames danced beneath the mantles and the braziers threatened to go out as a rumble seemed to stir beneath the mountain, vibrating the castle doors that led out into the courtyard.
The Caretaker stood, old eyes drifted to the ceiling as he felt the vibrations through the ground. Like a beast walking towards the Castle, bringing with it the weight of the mountain.
"Yeagirs..." He spoke loud and stern, though his tone didn't not reflect the expedience that the current conditions required. Setting his cup of brew down on the kitchen counter, he addressed the assembled hunters. "Celebrations are on hold for now." He moved over to a weapon wall mounts and pulled two blades down. One was labeled Crux by a bronze label, another Galli by the same. Strapping them to his back and side, he moved quickly towards the front door and swung it open. Snow and a gust cut through the dining area and he drew Crux, his long blade, and held it lazily to his side.
"Every year it's the same. No matter the offering." In the dust covered courtyard stood a single being, over ten feet in height. It was covered in white fur and had claws that seemed to extend beyond necessity. It was a towering beast of muscle. "Range fighters, take the stairs to the battlement and keep them off the walls. If anyone can fly, you'll have and advantage here. Otherwise, we need to push them back off the bridge and seal up the courtyard." He lifted his blade and side stepped as a pillar of ice, fashioned into a giant spirit tip, cascaded through the dining room and lodged itself into stone floor.
"You...fucker. I just patched that floor." Taking to a crouch, he charged out with a speed that would have seemed impossible, given his size and age.
