The story begins...

As winter tightens its grip and the land enters Frost Fall, guests gather beneath snow-laden rafters at the invitation of Lady Nienna and Lord Zaryndel. Among them was the Grey Wizard, a quiet guardian of ancient wisdom whose counsel had guided realms for generations.

In this season where shadows grow long and secrets freeze beneath the surface, one question hangs heavy in the winter air: who silenced the Grey Wizard—and why?
