(By a somehow ruined village, [player] spots something odd - all the buildings were frozen solid) [player]: "The heck happened here?" ([player] then spots what looks like a female Snow Golem) Female Snow Golem: (noticing [player]) "So YOU'RE the Frostmaw that's caused all this!" [player]: "Wait no, you're clearly mistaken-" Female Snow Golem: "I don't care what you have to say. You deserve to DIE!" (The female Snow Golem starts flinging snowballs at [player]) [player]: (dodging the snowballs) "Stop, stop! I have no idea what you're talking about!" Female Snow Golem: "You can't fool me, Frostmaw. You've been causing chaos all across these lands, freezing everything in your path!" (stops after feeling little movements in her flat belly) [player]: (confused) "Uh, are you okay?" Female Snow Golem: (looking down at her belly) "I-I don't know...I've never felt movements before." [player]: (concerned) "Movements?" Iris: "Oh! I-I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Iris."

[player]: (relieved) "Nice to meet you, Iris. I'm [player]. Can you tell me more about what's been happening here?" Iris: "Well, everything was normal until you showed up. Suddenly, all the buildings were frozen solid and the villagers were trapped inside. I've been trying to protect them but I keep hearing rumors that you're the one responsible." [player]: "I assure you, Iris, I had nothing to do with this. In fact, I'm here to investigate and help in any way I can." Iris: "I find that hard to believe, but I suppose it's worth hearing you out. Maybe there's someone else causing trouble in these parts." [player]: "Exactly. That's why I need your help. Can you show me around and tell me if you've seen anything suspicious lately?" Iris: (nodding) "I can do that. And if you're telling the truth, I apologize for attacking you earlier." [player]: "No worries, Iris. Let's just focus on solving this mystery together."

(As [player] and Iris start focusing on the mystery behind the strange movements and why the village was frozen solid, they start to hear maniacal laughter from outside) [player]: "Who was that?!" Iris: "...Markov." [player]: "Who's this 'Markov' guy?" Iris: "He's one of the four ancients of this world. Alongside Ragespine, Cwealis, and Skelehamut, Markov was ordered with protecting the lifeforms - no matter what they are. But over time, Markov developed a hatred towards all living things. He went on a rampage, and the only ancient to survive was Ragespine. Fortunately for this world, Markov was sealed within a book only known as 'Portrait of Markov'."

[player]: "And you think he's back?" Iris: "Unfortunately, it seems so. I've seen signs of his influence around here. The way the buildings were frozen solid is a signature of his power." [player]: "Then we have to stop him. And find that book." Iris: "Agreed. But it won't be easy. The book has been lost for centuries." [player]: "We don't have time to waste. Let's gather some resources and start our search." Iris: "Right. And be careful. Markov won't go down without a fight."
