The Kingdoms lie in ruins, their rulers scattered and every dragon driven into the deepest caverns. Your charge is simple—but anything but easy: restore the land under one banner and claim a dragon ally fierce enough to make it happen.
You awaken in a realm locked in perpetual winter. Snow squalls choke the sky, visibility rarely stretches beyond a few paces, and hostile creatures prowl day and night, shielded by the blizzard’s gloom. Shelter is a matter of ingenuity: carve an igloo fortress on the surface, or burrow into the earth to build a hidden refuge where dark magic and daring science can open portals to warmer realms.
Whatever path you choose, one truth holds firm—only a dragon bonded to your will can tip the scales. Find it, tame it, and the thawed future of these shattered kingdoms may yet be written in your name.

TAKE NOTE OF THIS
Winter never quite lets go in this world. Blizzards roll in one after another, fresh snow steadily piles up, and even on a “clear” day you’ll be lucky to see three blocks ahead. Because daylight never grows strong enough, hostile mobs linger on the surface instead of burning away, so building underground—or slipping through a portal to another dimension—quickly becomes a welcome break from the storm.
In my tests, a Ryzen 5-class CPU (or better), 8 GB of RAM, and a GTX 1650-level GPU with at least 4 GB of dedicated VRAM make for the smoothest single-player experience.
