Welcome to Legends of Aventress.

I'm Barnabos Dread Wake and you're listening to Icebound.

Here's what happened last time.

You're completely out of food. There's no lard. There's narrow in bone. Two polar bear cubs.

I will open my mouth and from it a polar bear roar will erupt.

As you start to back away, its eyes flash just for a for a moment blue. And it, and you feel instilled by

some form of thank you or some form of blessing. Well, you think things are finally looking up.

Who I was at 12 when I left my uncle and who I was at 18 when I caved in the skull of my father and spent.

And every year, every decade after that, I was, I changed little boy little.

He was ever changing as the sea.

You realize there was yet another day to survive.

Ah!

I can't take this anyone! Ah! It's just the cold.

On the other side of this river, this settlement, the first sign of some kind of place where people lived.

We found a sled that can carry us north and away from the barren cold.

We're naming it salvation.

Signed, Roland Stonebridge and the date.

You found a bunch of candles in the floorboards.

I did. 12 of them, to be exact.

They're definitely magic.

You have, for now, a sense of hope and camaraderie.

A full two months remain until the winter solstice, but the terrible cold of this land betrays this fact.
