Welcome to the Frost Festival!

Serrata Peaks rarely interacts with the rest of Crater. But when it’s time for the Frost Festival, the kingdom welcomes people from every region to join the festivities.

This holiday celebrates the Forever Tree, which miraculously blossoms during the kingdom’s coldest season. Its leaves have medicinal properties. Its kernels are a nutritious delicacy. It even radiates heat, which melts the snow that falls around it, feeding the nearby fountains. As part of the celebration, the citizens of the capital, Icefall Keep, adorn the city with lights and decorations. They exchange gifts and sing songs of praise and thanksgiving.

But lately, the Forever Tree has also become a makeshift memorial, surrounded by wreaths and candles to honor Kayi’s parents, the King and Queen, who abruptly went missing. Some fear they were kidnapped by the Yeti, a clan of fearsome beasts that lives in the caves below Icefall Keep. That is why Kayi has returned at long last, hoping to save her parents, and the kingdom, with the help of her Rocket Arena Tour teammates!
