Inktober 2019 Day 4: Freeze in Staff Events | World Anvil

Inktober 2019 Day 4: Freeze

Today's Prompt:

An unnatural phenomena blankets the land in cold.

 

A bolt of frost cast as a spell from an outstretched hand.

 

A godsend technology which holds the cold at bay, or which ensures it.

   

Our relationship with the freezing cold is a mixed one, is it the same in your world?
