High in the mountains of the Winterland, a gigantic stone portal protrudes from a mountaintop. A small village lies some thirty miles away, and occasionally sees bands of explorers venture to and from it, in hopes of finding some secrets of the portal. Its vast opening is criss-crossed by enormous glassy strands of some weblike substance.
The stones of the portal are worn and icy, and many an explorer has slipped and fallen to their death while trying to climb them. None yet have succeeded in opening the portal, but many speculations abound as to where it could possibly lead. How you can use the Icy Portal in your game: - Perhaps the portal wasn't built to open, but to hold closed some kind of magical gateway. If the constructed portal is damaged, it will need to be repaired before the portal can be closed again. - The portal lays in the domain of the terrible white dragon, Xhildrynon the Arctic. Even with the dragon's colossal size and mighty prowess, what awful thing is so dangerous that the dragon will kill to keep the portal closed? - The portal may be only a part of a vast ruin, but the glassy Ice Spiders dwelling beneath it emerge when the moon is full and the winds are high, transmuting their victims to icy statues with their venom.
