HEROES OF THE NORTH
The Ape and the Angry Spirit
Although the goblins and trolls of the Frosten threaten our lands, we are not without allies.
Brutus lived in the snowy mountains with his troop. His people were often the victim of goblin raids and, when his mentor was killed, Brutus swore that his people would suffer no more. He honed his alchemical skills to become known as a great protector, wiping out any goblin - Frosten or otherwise - that was unwise enough to cross his path. A fan favorite, Brutus won the election battle against Wintertide's founder. Lukin.
Urmas and his brothers served in King Eskar's armies. They usually guarded against Troll attacks, but on one fateful day, they were assigned to Lance's unit to investigate reports of a portal. The portal was the work of the Dark Ones, and Lance was the only survivor. Urmas and his brothers ended up captured by the Dark Ones and, after horrific experiments, the three brother's spirits were permanently bound into one body.
Brutus will be available on the Event Reward Track, and Urmas can be found in the Wintertide Event Chest.
BLOOD AND FROST

THE ENEMIES OF WINTERTIDE
Unwanted Guests
The Frosten Goblin clan live far beyond our realm. Somewhat brighter than most goblins, their Mages learnt long ago how to activate the ancient portals that connect worlds - a feat rendered easier by Karnon's recent meddling.
The bulk of Frosten forces are their Warriors and Alchemists. These goblins are dedicated to ruining Wintertide - but being smarter than your average goblin, they know when to flee.
Red Rima is a powerful Frosten that is more than happy to come through the Portal, seeking out Wintertide revellers to kidnap and feed to Leppaludi.
Kramp Frosthorn is a troll who was 'adopted' by the Frosten. They celebrate Kramp's viciousness and strength, and eagerly follow him into battle.
Leppaludi is a sea troll who generally spends most of the year slumbering. He is awoken each year by the Wintertide festivities, and will lash out at anyone who comes near - including his loyal Frosten subjects (unless they bring snacks). He can be summoned by brave Guilds, reducing the risk that he will attack elsewhere.
How many Frosten will you defeat this Wintertide?
