War of Icy Reaches

Far in the north upon frozen glacier and towering peaks, a city by the north pole nestled near mountains has come under attack.

Backstory
In the snowy lands of Sinardia there existed a city known as Asmunder, home of the plentiful and gracious cloud giants. Being connected to the Frozen Mounts to supply nearly limitless access to the material known as Everlastium, Asmunder flourished as it was built up over the eons. The family of cloud giants whom assumed the role as the royal family, the Line of Arkbulthus, reigned over the kingdom and built many beautiful structures, deep tunnels, and magnificent castles. Peace in the bitterly cold lands lasted for as long as anyone could remember, that was until the Outsiders arrived.

He met the giants and at first was kind and generous, offering the teachings of metallurgy. The leader of this expedition, Sir Francis Ullmor, was a powerful lord over his kingdom of Temptus, a thriving temperate land rich in minerals and ores. He sought a route to the elvenlands of Wulffalad, hoping to find a shortcut rather than circling the globe and raging seas north of Zarthum where proved to be inhospitable to sea travel.
