Freya recognizes the efforts of so many Rukaan in uncovering information on Midgard’s plight and the winter doe herself. One stag in particular risked life and limb to uncover long forgotten lore carved high in a frozen mountain cave beneath a glacier. His weekslong efforts to wade through snow and ice at terrible risk of frostbite for this knowledge caught Freya’s attention and she blessed him with pale legs to draw attention to the danger he tackled on behalf of the realm.
Of course, your contribution has not gone overlooked either.
Finally, won over by your perseverance and determination to help, the distant winter doe explains: The Eternal Winter is due to a disconnect between Midgard and Yggdrasil. The great earth tree is much larger than it first appears, seeming to grow more massive and the branches layered deeper and deeper as you climb the limbs and get closer to its core.
There’s a massive tangled overgrowth in the great limbs that connect the realm of Midgard to the heart of the tree which stretches to the rest of the realms. With the path blocked by these snared branches the Doe of winter can’t leave Midgard as she is meant to do after her season has passed. Since she has been stuck here, her magic has slowly been overflowing and spreading ice and snow across the realm. The ice is so cold and overwhelming at this built-up ice blockade that it is difficult to breathe, and there is a very real danger in attempting to press forward.
Aid the doe in carving a path through the accumulated ice, or grabbing a torch to melt it, or finding some other way to get through to the branches beyond.
