It's cold in Guildereim. Really cold. Really really cold. So cold in fact, that it's snowing. Although the very peak of the island's mountain very rarely sees a few specks of snow.. the entire island has been covered in a bitter cold. It's fun at first.. but things are starting to get worse.

The facts we know:
-Since the beginning of the month, the temperature has been rapidly decreasing. Things are getting chilly.Although it's not quite cold during the daytime, sweaters are almost required. The evenings definitely require sweaters.
-The temperatures have been easily dipping below freezing even during the day. In the wee hours of Sunday morning, a very light snow has begun to fall.
-Hot drinks and food are served with discounts at the bar.
-Limited amounts of warm clothing are provided to unowned/Tether owned slaves.
-Several people been turned into a living ice statue! Encased in several feet of magical ice, right in the middle of the main hall.
-Rats have fled indoors. Some may be lurking amongst pillows in the harem.
-A patron has already died from hypothermia.
-Naga and Kaoe'i have fled their homes to move closer to the warmth the volcano provides.
-The snow is thickly blanketing the the island, and inland ponds and water features are freezing up.
-Reports have come in stating that just a few miles away from Guildereim's shores, the weather is tropical, and overwhelmingly warm for mid December. It was made very evident that the Tether's winter storm was very magical, and encasing the entire island only. Help is being asked of those with magical abilities to aid in locating the source of this destructive winter.
-The storm is still worsening. Temperature dropping to -40c/f.
-A woman named Annastazia is the prime suspect, and a manhunt has been called for her to be found and captured.
-There are magical ice serpents that come with the storm. Incredibly dangerous, and have caused very severe, life threatening injuries. Do not touch them.
-The ice mage Annaztasia has been killed, and her staff and amulet destroyed.
-Those trapped in ice blocks have been unfrozen.
-A massive avalanche has entirely buried the Tether. Access in and out is impossible.
-Tunnels from each of the exits are being created for access indoor and outdoor.
-The Tether has sustained large amounts of damage from massive falling rocks during the avalanche. The docks have been for the most part exploded, and the garden has been flattened.
-The majority of the fires have been located to the underhall and the forge, where heat is most easily retained. Patrons and slave are advised to linger there.
-The storm has worsened still. Temperatures dropping to -60c/-76f.
-Venturing outdoors without magical protection from the cold is very suicidal.
Current Rumours:
-It's time for the holidays ! The Tether is gearing up for some winter festivities.
-Whoever was in charge of creating snow for the holidays seriously messed up.
-There is something seriously wrong here. A foul, evil magic perhaps.
-The eggnog is cursed.
-The top corner seat of the atrium's chair island is cursed.
-The enchantment on the living ice sculptures could possibly be broken by eliminating the source of magic.
-Annastazia is causing this winter.
-The source of Annastazia's power is some sort of artifact.
-The source of the winter is a massive dragon, or demon..
-A man was teleported into the main hall only a second after having been eviscerated by the alleged winter dragon, ranting of what it was.

Event Comments
- With the final conflict with the dragon it became obvious that Zelanze's expedition was not lost. After they had collapsed the mountain side in an attempt to escape the dragon the group sought shelter in what used to be the docks. Spending their days digging out and repairing the S.S Faithful.
When the battle at the beach came to fruition it was The Faithful that entered the fray and helped take domination of the sky. Ultimately able to bury the heavy drills of the dragonator in to the monster's chest and ground it amongst the ballista fire of the various men and women fighting below.
Ever since House Balestra has been offering aid and medical respite to all those that required it. Rohit(played anonymously)

Rohit is ready to assist with diagnosis of injury and whatever might require the need for a whip or dagger.-
A call to arms ! The winter beast has been spotted approaching the Tether, and fighters are gathering on the beach with weapons to engage the foul creature. Patrons may very well be paid for their services, and the presence of all fighting slaves is requested.
Delinda(played anonymously)January 1st 2016

Delinda has no ability to fight, but she will be able to help with the inevitably wounded after the battle has finished. She has been helping as much as she can with delivering warm clothing to those who need it most.-
TONIGHT- This foul beast on our island dies. We now have the information, supplies and commitment we need to uproot this demon and end it's miserable existence.
-
Claire (LaClair) may be spotted in the underhall frequently in the evening. She has knitted scarves, shawls and spare blankets for patrons and slaves. As well as Firestones scattered about to ward away the cold.
-
The arctic hare has offered her services to assist with digging tunnels and passing out sheepskin blankets that are known to have a magic symbol on its edge to ward away cold, rumor has it she also has matching cloaks should anyone choose to venture outside. She is often seen in the company of a polar bear often talking to herself...or to the beast often times staring at the snow blocked door.
-
Zelanze's expedition, consisting of roughly seven patrons, did not return from the mountain the previous night. Were they caught in the avalanche? Could they survive if such were the case? No doubt murmurs in the hall claiming the expedition lost

Resistant to the otherwise fatal cold, Jormun will assist with the tunneling out of establishment. As another ice dragon, would be possible for him to fall to the lure of the demonic entity? His loyalty has already been questioned, though he remains firm that he is in control of all his facilities.Xarnata Luoh(played byXarnata)December 30th 2015

The emotionally unstable human/demon has offered to use his fires if allowed to syphon energy from another to furl them. He has also offered to help heavy lifting of derbies and other heavy lifting manual labor (If people don't mind the smell). Lastly he has offered transport outside to ten people on the 'last of his reserves'.-
Dec 29, evening-
[#] Anyone glancing outside from the Tether might be privy to what looked like an avalanch on the mountain. Followed by a loud, low rumbling like something very large was stirring.
[#] With a loud rumble that may very well have been an explosion off in the distance, another rumble would begin. If the small avalanch outside earlier hadn't been noticed- large amounts of the mountain itself were now sliding rapidly towards the Tether. Shaking the entire establishment.
[#] The rumbling of the avalanch grew deafeningly loud as it neared the Tether. Massive boulders smashing into the docks, ripping them clean away from the building. Several others flattening garden features. The entire island shook, as huge rocks slammed into the Tether itself. Likely knocking the majority of occupants off their feet.
[#] Only moments later, the roar of the avalanche would fully descend upon the Tether. Massive amounts of snow washing over the establishment to entirely engulf the building. Fully sealing any way in or out. Burying it deeply in massive amounts of frozen white bull****. Carroc(played anonymously)December 29th 2015

Is an un-owned minor demon with a resistance (not immunity) to extreme temperatures. He would like to make himself available to help in whatever tasks Staff deems necessary, while in the meantime continuing to offer his services to Patrons.-
The witch, Myni Lama, is offering her scouting g ablitiy and shipping skills to try and both gather goods and search for things.
-
Evil will continue to fell trees at times to bring in to feed the fires and keep the place warm. Also offering his neck to curl up to for warmpt.

Zelanze and house Balestra had remained largely uninvolved with the situation other than humanitarian efforts; such as helping with Tainlong's Naga hunt and supplying food or medical. After the battle in the main hall and the confirmation of foul sorcery, the Knight has taken a more active role.
Together with Arvex he will be putting together an expedition to head further up in to the mountains and apprehend the culprit or, at very least, find and save stragglers who were forced to find shelter in the night unsurvivable winds.

Lucas Cromwell has managed to make contact with his brother, Jace Cromwell (alt name: Infernos). Jace has managed to make it to the Isle via teleportation with a small band of Cromwell servants and slaves. They have brought enough food and alcohol to stock the kitchen for a three days (provided everyone only eats once or twice) as well as warm clothing, blankets, wood, and coals.
The food has been sent to the kitchen and the other supplies to the house slaves to be passed among the patrons and slaves. Lucas and Jace have kept some of the supplies as well, should anyone need extra they can seek one of the brothers out.Gnaea(played byYuka)December 29th 2015

The council mage and loremistress once known as Pulchra is back on the island, and is willing to offer her assistance.-
All of Guildereim has been cast into darkness. Even during the afternoon there is no sunlight. Thick clouds obscure everything.
-
Something far more wicked than the mage has made itself known. It began with howling followed by a shriek. Ice now covers most of the island and anyone going outside will have a severe risk of frostbite within moments unless protected magically.
Most of the Tether has begun to ice over as well except for parts of the atrium that are protected by the fires.
The source of the power is coming from the mountains. -
[ Players looking to help with the investigations are welcome to whisper Muunokhoi, who will dm locations, objects, settings, ect in regards to the winter that your character might investigate. ]
