Deep in the Northern Continent, ranges of snow-capped mountains rose and fell, emitting a white mist.
Amidst the mountains, a castle built from blocks of ice polished like mirrors stood atop a snowy peak. It was entirely crystalline and translucent, reflecting a shimmering blue light under the sun.
Inside the top tower of this beautiful castle, two figures clad in black robes and wide, round-topped hats were methodically busying themselves.
Before them was an apparatus with dials displaying unknown values, levers, buttons, and even some pipe-like objects connecting to a nearby box.
But the dials, levers, and pipes were all pieced together from bones of varying sizes. Most of these bones glowed with a faint white light, a clear sign their owners had not been low-level Extraordinary Creatures in life. The bones were joined by neatly polished metal fittings, creating a strangely beautiful aesthetic.
