You're lost in a frozen forest of deadly predators and mysterious recluses. Your only refuge is the tiny village of Frostwyck, where metal is rare and kindness is rarer. And there are worse things in the shadows than mere bloodthirsty beasts.
Witches haunt the groves of the north. Most keep to themselves, content to guard their secrets and powers. But one torments them all.
Dama Zhadna has cursed the village so that none can escape. And now you're trapped here. You're going to die here...
...unless you can escape from the Witches of Frostwyck.
Just a few things players can do:
Escape from a prison bargeFree stolen souls from a giant spider-houseFind a charming witch-lord hiding with his pet dragonEvade a merciless warrior zealot who is hunting magiciansDiscover the ancient secrets of the Elder FeyCollect the "cunning tools" created by the hedge witchesCollect the eldritch weapons crafted by the ancient elvesExplore the hidden caverns where the fey are imprisonedBattle or negotiate with a soul-stealing witch-queenSave a little girl made of snow
Intense Factions
Will you help the Temple of Virune to eradicate the last of the witches? Will you help the witch-lords retake power over the north? Will you help the Gray Sisters protect the village from the dangers of the forest? Or will you venture underground and help the Elder Fey to escape their prison and take their revenge?
Four New Mentors
While in Frostwyck, players can meet many skilled NPCs who might be willing to train a worthy adventurer. If you can complete 3 days of training, you can learn one of 16 skills from either a Hunter, a Fighter, a Priest, or a Witch.
