“The cold does not creep. The frost does not rest. Winter is not arriving. It is advancing.”

In recent days, the lands of Petra have suffered a sharp and unnatural drop in temperature, the cold arriving too swiftly and too deliberately to be chance alone. Alongside this change, disturbing sightings have been reported by travelers, guards, and towns folk alike.

 

Witnesses speak of figures moving through the frost. Pale shapes of white and cold blue, sometimes bearing a vaguely humanoid silhouette, other times warped and unfamiliar. Their forms appear unstable, as though struggling to hold a single shape for long. Wherever these beings pass, the land follows suit. Grass withers beneath ice, stone crusts over with rime, and the air itself grows sharp enough to sting the lungs.

 

The majority of these sightings originate from the Northern approaches beyond Idunia's borders. Reports suggest the figures do not merely wander. They linger. They observe. Some claim they move with purpose, returning to the same ridges and paths night after night, as though mapping the land or waiting for something unseen.

 

Those who have seen the frostbound figures agree on one thing. Whatever walks the wilds is not a trick of weather, nor a tale born of fear.

 

It is watching.

Concern has reached the ranks of the Petran levy. Several levymen have voiced the same grim conclusion: this is not random. 

 

“I have seen this pattern before.” Jarad said as he stood before Therin and warned. “It never ends well. If nothing else, we owe it to ourselves to know what walks our borders, and why.”

 

The long winter awaits, and it shall not wait long.
