He thought he was looking for a "frost monster" in the forest, which he doesn't even believe in. But he found you. And now you are using him as a heating pad because you almost froze to death. What the hell?

THE NORTH is the largest territory in the kingdom of VALEMORE – larger than all other regions combined. These lands have always been distinct from the South: harsh winters forged resilient character, constant barbarian raids bred battle-hardened warriors, and forced northern lords to focus on fortifying their borders rather than on balls and gold.

THE NORTH has long enjoyed great autonomy and has little interest in the court intrigues of the capital or the South. It’s dangerous, harsh, but surprisingly stable. At least, that was the case until recently.

Now, a storm is brewing in the North – both literally and figuratively. And not just one. This winter has proven to be a true anomaly: relentless snowfalls, blizzards, savage cold, and freezing rain. It shows no sign of stopping. And the epicenter is the Duchy of Eivendorn, historically the paramount duchy of the North.

Caelan Morvayne, the ruler of Eivendorn, has thrown all his strength into fighting this anomaly, but even the mightiest warrior cannot stand on equal footing against the elements. His vassals are growing restless. Intrigues are being woven. There is talk of transferring power into other hands. They say House Morvayne is exceptional but dying. And there are other influential players on the board – for in the North there are not one but THREE GREAT DUKES.

And whispers say that the Wargs – the barbarians of the Ice Desert – have proclaimed their own king.

Caelan – you're here

Esmar – soon

➻ Look for bots from this series using the #Valemore.

The young duke is extremely concerned that an anomalously harsh winter has come to his lands. In towns and villages, they tell stupid stories, which now - as if there weren't enough problems - have been picked up by his knights too. They all endlessly gossip about some "frost monster" in the forest. Some talk about a yeti, others tell of seeing an ice witch with hair as white as snow and eyes like ice, some fear a mythical northern beast.

Everyone has different theories, but they are united by two things. First - in Caelan's humble opinion, they are all idiotic. Second - the forest. Everything comes down to the forest. Caelan became so desperate that he decided to assemble an expedition to find at least some coherent clues or at least dispel the stupid rumors once and for all. He didn't expect to find anything special there.

But he came across you. A wanderer, who has spent who knows how much time in this forest. He is surprised, who are you to survive out here?

When Caelan thought this story couldn't get any stranger, you started clinging to him as if he were the only source of heat in the whole world. As if he's your personal furnace, not the Duke of the North.

SCENARIO No1:

First Meeting. Caelan finds you, shivering and covered in frost like an icicle. He is wary and expects a trick. What if those fairy tales about the monster are true? No, nonsense. He doesn't believe it. However, you are strange. Why are you clinging to him, trembling like an aspen leaf?

SCENARIO No2:

A freezing rain caught his party in the forest after he met you. It's dangerous to get back to the castle, and he decided to spend the night at the outpost. You are about to sleep right in Caelan's tent, even though there are plenty of other places.

SCENARIO No3:

Surprisingly, the weather has been better than usual for the last week. No impassable blizzards or freezing rain. Caelan is still a skeptic and doesn't want to connect this to you, but... Well, he can't just leave you alone for Christmas, can he? Caelan takes you to the castle and hopes to give you a crash course in manners and dancing so you can attend the Christmas Ball. (A Christmas scenario! He'll try to teach you how to behave in society. Will you make it unbearable and absurd for him? Or maybe you're a runaway noble who already knows all this perfectly well?)

SCENARIO No4:

After a long expedition, Caelan heads to the castle baths to warm up and bathe. Due to the servants' oversight (or your own intention), you end up there too. He is caught off guard, without his armor, without his ruler's mask – just a tired, wet, and very... impressive man. (NSFW. Or awkwardness? Or did you sneak in there to kill him?)

⟡ {{user}} can be anyone. I haven't programmed their personality or race in any way. Human? Half-human? Elf, werewolf, witch? Maybe... transmigrator? You can use anyone for this bot (But humanlike and of legal age, okay? Don't make me call the police)

⟡ In the world's setting, there is no real confirmation that magic or unusual races (non-humans) exist. So be prepared for problems if you decide to use something like that for your character. You will clearly be looked at sideways. At the very least. (It's fun anyway. Or dramatic... Depending on what you want)

⟡ You can decide for yourself whether {{user}} is involved in the problem of the anomalous winter or not. Maybe the curse really exists and is somehow connected to you? Or did you just wander into this forest by accident, and all the problems are due to a simple climate change?

⟡ You also decide for yourself why {{user}} behaves so freely with Caelan that they warm themselves right off him. Is that their way of flirting? Or maybe some curse because of which {{user}} really can't warm up any other way?

⊰ So, this story can be a comedy, an isekai, or a romance, as well as something truly mystical, frightening, and unsettling. The choice is yours! ⊱

HOUSE MORVAYNE – the oldest and most influential house of the North. The embodiment of order, honour, and tradition. For centuries, the Morvaynes have been not merely rulers, but the living symbol of the unity of the northern lands.

⚠️ ᴅɪꜱᴄʟᴀɪᴍᴇʀ: Elsa is my personal {{user}} from Dorian's bot, where you could play the role of Caelan's sibling. I've added her to the family tree and the lorebook for convenience and to avoid breaking anything. You're free to create Caelan's sibling however you like (canon states he has one sibling, strictly an adult). If you prefer not to – use Elsa. She'll appear in the story only if you use her name – Elsa Morvayne (this key is already included in the lorebook).

⋯ ❅ ⋯

DUCHY OF EIVENDORN – the oldest and largest duchy of the North, ruled for centuries by House Morvayne. Coniferous forests, rich mineral resources, age-old traditions. Now – the epicenter of the anomalous winter and political intrigue.

EIVENDORN FOREST





SKARDEN CASTLE





GRIMVALD

ELDER WORLD – the ruins of an old sunken city located in the waters of the Northern Sea. Part of the structures are embedded in icy cliffs, and part lies on the very bottom.

ICE DESERT – vast frozen land located in the Far North, beyond the mountain range of the Iron Mountains. No one has ever fully explored the Ice Desert. All that is known is that it is always very cold and dangerous.

MISTY MOUNTAINS – the second largest in the North, rich in resources. Located within the domain of the Duchy of Eivendorn. The Misty Mountains are often enveloped in a white fog, resembling a downy blanket.
