Welcome to Frost Hollow
The Winterbound Realm
Discover the characters and mysteries of the Winterbound Realm
Frost hollow
A lantern-lit valley tucked deep in the Winterbound Realm, where warmth flickers against endless snow. A place where kindness is tradition… and ancient things wake beneath the ice.
Cindra-Lu: The Child Who Listened
Cindra-Lu was born in Frosthollow during a winter so harsh that the town nearly froze to silence. She was a quiet child—the kind who listened more than she spoke. The forest raised her as much as her parents did. She learned the language of wind through bare branches. She learned to read the snow like written words.
As she grew, the forest spoke to her in ways it did not speak to others. Legends came to her in dreams. The Hollow called to her. By the time she was old enough to understand what was happening, she had already been chosen.
With nothing but a lantern against the dark and a knife to carve her truth, Cindra-Lu ventured into the Frost Hollow one winter night—the night that would change everything.
Cindra-Lu Frost
Age: Sixteen winters
Origin: Frosthollow
Weapon: A blade forged in starlight and silence
Personality
Quiet. Observant. Unflinching. Cindra-Lu carries the weight of her choices without complaint. She is small in frame but immense in spirit. Where others see danger, she sees purpose.
The Wendalyx: The Creature That Remembers
It is not a beast. It is not a guardian. It is something far older than either word can contain.
The Wendalyx is the Hollow made flesh—or perhaps the other way around. It remembers when the forest was young. It remembers the first snow. It remembers every story ever told within its domain, and it hungers for more.
Some say it is a test. Some say it is a curse. Some say it is the price the Hollow demands for those who dare to change its story. What is certain is this: The Wendalyx remembers. And it always collects what it is owed.
The Wendalyx
Nature: Ancient entity of the Frost Hollow
Power: Memory itself
Domain: The depths of the frozen forest
The Creature
Neither fully beast nor spirit, the Wendalyx embodies the wild magic of the Frost Hollow. It is as much a force of nature as it is a conscious being. Those who encounter it report seeing eyes like starlight and hearing whispers in languages long forgotten.
The Hollow Map
A Terrain of Memory
The path through Frost Hollow is not fixed. It changes depending on who walks it. Some say the forest chooses where you go. Others insist you choose without knowing it. What is certain: every path leads to a truth, and every truth demands a price.
