The Battle of True Ice

The Conflict

Prelude

It is commonly known throughout the region that Frost Memory Cave is the location of what is presumed to be a settlement frozen in a near impenetrable ice cavern. For as long as history records date, The Frozen Brothers, a tribe of frost giants, have occupied and defended the caves as their home and birthright. For the most part their claim to the locale was uncontested until the ancient white dragon known as Zelzryd The Glacial caught wind of the potential horde within the frozen halls and set her mind to eradicating the giants in order to claim it for herself.

Battlefield

While the majority of hunters of The Frozen Brothers were out scouring for food in the tundra, Zelzryd took her chance and infiltrated Frost Memory Cave, nearly wiping out all of the remaining giants. That was until the party returned early as a result of the clan chief overhearing the sounds of the battle across the expanse and were able to discover the carnage. They were able to retaliate against the white terror and gravely wound her, blinding her in one eye in the process, before she fled.

Outcome

Zelzryd was forced to retreat to her own cave to tend to her wounds and come to terms with the loss of her eye. The Frozen Brothers mourned the loss of their clan mates.

Aftermath

Zelzryd vowed to eradicate the giants once and for all and claim the cave as well as reclaim her dignity. The Frozen Brothers rebuilt the structures that were damaged in the attack and began to train harder and younger, all hunters no longer leave when a hunting party goes out, so some can remain at the cave to protect the rest of the tribe. Defenses against dragon attacks were also put into place.
