Adventure Overview 

A large, white-furred creature has been terrorizing the ice fishermen of Fjollum, a town in the Mirror Mountains. The fishermen refer to the creature as the “snow devil” and are terrified to go out on the ice of Red Lake to fish for fear of encountering the monster. This is threatening the livelihood and food stores of the town, which relies heavily on fish for both food and trade. Consequently, the leader of the community, Sigdis Linadottir, has put out word to the surrounding region that the town is looking for help getting rid of the snow devil.

This snow devil dwells in the Frozen Temple, an ancient temple not too far from Fjollum that the villagers know of but stay clear of. They believe it was dedicated to an ancient deity of cold named Hjort, and the villagers fear disturbing whatever may reside there now. The snow devil leaves the temple to hunt, and recently game has become scarce, forcing it to consider the villages of Fjollum as potential prey, though it hasn’t attacked any of them yet.

Besides being the lair of the snow devil, the Frozen Temple contains ice creatures, remnants of the days the temple was active. Several arctic nomads have also taken up residence in the entry hall, though they haven’t dared to explore more of the temple.
