An endless winter is coming...
500 years ago: From the frozen far north, beyond the civilized lands with their rolling hills and forests,
arose a mighty army of frost giants, ice devils, Hellfrost dragons, and fearsome orcs, servants all of the
ice god Thrym. So began the terrible Blizzard War and the downfall of the mighty empires of man
Today: The races of the southern lands may have won the war, but they suffer its legacy still.
For five centuries the winters have grown steadily longer and colder. Huge swathes of the land of Rassilon
are permanently covered in ice and snow, and even the temperate lands are not spared the misery of
failed harvests, deadly winters, and the dreaded Hellfrost wind.
But winter is not the only danger. A mere 30 years ago, magic, once the civilized races’ most potent weapon,
suddenly began to fail. The Siphoning, an effect of unknown origin, has made magic an unpredictable ally.
Welcome to the world of Rassilon. Welcome to the Hellfrost!

Adventure 01: Lair of the Vermin Lord
The specter of famine stalks the northern Hearthlands.
With the snow already falling, the key to thwarting disaster is the village of Dunross, for here are
stored the winter supplies of many surrounding villages. Fresh faced and eager, the heroes are hired
by a local merchant to collect sacks of flour from Dunross and deliver them to a bakery. But things
are never that simple.
What begins as a routine journey quickly embroils the adventures in a deadly plot to inflict starvation
and untold misery on the citizens of the northern Heartlands. Through the power of an unholy magical relic
a dark swarm has been unleashed on Rassilion, a swarm which leaves only death and disease in its wake.
Can the heroes survive the terrible host about to cross their path? If they do, have they the courage and
skill to end the reign of terror of a sinister, inhuman foe? All will be revealed!

Adventure 02: The Dark Seed
The balance of nature is tipping!
Animal life was not always dominant in Rassilon. Eons ago, before the balance of nature was established,
sentient plants were the superior life form. Among their number was a particularly vile species which sought
the extermination of all animal life. Although long thought extinct, one of their seed pods has lain dormant,
silently waiting for the right time to awaken and release its deadly contents. That time has finally come.
An elf druid, infected by the seed pod, plans to issue in a new era—a world of plant domination.
To defeat him the heroes must first stand against his insidious creations, creatures part-animal and part-plant,
and whose touch is deadly. But the heroes are not alone in their quest, for the fey have sensed the danger the
druid presents to the natural order.
Can the heroes avoid becoming mutated plant beings long enough to track the druid to his lair?
Are they strong enough to stand against the druid’s corrupting power or will they end up with more than green fingers?

Adventure 03: Shadow of Darkness
Part one of a new four part
mini campaign called Saga of the Frost Giants. This adventure can be played as a standalone game or part of
the mini campaign so you don't have to wait for the other three to begin playing.
Something Stirs In The Icebarrier Mountains
Joining a caravan as guards is a way to earn good money and see the world, though it is not without its risks.
Having signed up as guards, the heroes are about to take part in a journey from the relative safety of the lands
around Hellfrost Keep, home of the Hearth Knights, to the distant Saxa steads nestled in the forlorn Icebarrier
Mountains.
Together the characters and the small band of heavily-armed frost dwarves travelling with the caravan must weather
goblin attacks, for the fell creatures have stirred early this year and seem keen to make their presence felt.
It becomes clear the goblins are not acting alone. Something more powerful is behind their attacks, something
with grander plans than a few raids.
Shadow of Darkness can be played as a standalone adventure or as part one of a four-part mini-campaign arc
and includes maps and a set of Figure Flats by Jordan Peacock!

Adventure 04: Pirates of the Crystalflow
Pirates, Plunder & Adventure in the Icy Waters of the Crystalflow!
The Crystalflow River is the lifeblood of the Crystalflow Confederacy. Every day hundreds of ships and barges sail
its turbulent waters, buying and selling cargoes along its length. But trade is slowing and the sailors are scared.
Several ships have been found devoid of crew and stripped bare of their valuable cargoes. Rumors are rife, but almost
everyone points to pirates as the cause of the troubles.
The heroes are hired by a local merchant to investigate the situation. Their port of call is Bridgwater, a bustling
merchant town at the northern end of the trade route. Only by careful investigation and strength of arms can the
heroes hope to put an end to the pirates of the Crystalflow!
Pirates of the Crystalflow is the fourth adventure in the series of great exploits for the Hellfrost setting
especially designed for the award winning Savage Worlds ruleset.

Adventure 05: The Siege of Watchgap Fort
War Has Come to Watchgap Fort!
With night falling, the strong walls of Watchgap Fort offer sanctuary, somewhere to sleep in peace and eat a hot meal.
Or so you thought, for no sooner have the heroes settled down when an alarm is raised -- a goblin army is besieging
Watchgap Fort!
This adventure simulates a mass battle on the tabletop. Spread over several days, each scene is the equivalent of a
Mass Battle combat round, giving the heroes first hand of experience of the battlefield.
Victory will be determined not by spoils or bodycounts, but by survival. Those who stand and fight this dark day will
have their reputations assured, but should the heroes fall the gateway is open to the rest of Heligioland, and
perhaps even the Hearthlands.
Will you answer the call to arms, or will your courage fail you when it is most needed?
This adventure can be played as a continuation of Shadow of Darkness or as a standalone adventure.

exploration of the Lost City of Paraxus.
