Title: The Frozen City

Author: Alorik

Ours was a great city. Lead by our queen, Beatrice, it was a center of art and culture for the entire continent. Our people were prosperous because the warm climate meant we never went hungry, and deposits of filanium brought trade and wealth to our home.

It was not to last. The northern empires waged war against us, and we lost land but our walled city. In our moment of desperation, our mages cast desperate rituals to summon allies to our cause, but not demon or elemental could stop the hordes. Our calls through the Ethereal Void brought us to the attention of another power who sent its emissary to teach us in the ways of war for a price. With Mors Gotha's help, we turned our filanium's purpose from healing toward death. We brought destruction to our enemies.

Our weapons were terrible, and even won, the war demoralized our people. The price we paid was even higher. We paid higher and higher tributes to this great being, stripping mining away our wealth of filanium. Eventually, the burden became too great, and we refused to pay any more.

We never expected what happened next.

This faceless titan cursed our world, bringing a magical cold that turned our paradise into eternal winter. We did our best to survive for as long as we could, moving underground around thermal vents and building great golems to travel out into the cold. It was not enough. The world grew ever colder, and eventually, so many of us simple went to sleep. Anodunos is now a frozen grave.
