Frostfall arrives!
Even in the usually vibrant and ever-thriving nation of Ambros, famous for its boastful Hedonists and the ever-growing crops of golden wheat and fruit, there comes a time of year when everything becomes a little quieter. A time when the buzz of activity gives way to the more peaceful, more serene season of Frostfall.
Crunching steps on fluffed-up snow, glistening flakes entangled in the dense coats of various Dir species, and the grimly snarling Griz, unable to hibernate due to bold Coreborn encroaching on their territory — all these wintry signs both warm our hearts and freeze our fingertips.
Yet, this idyllic stillness is deceptive: While the humanoid inhabitants of Ambros find comfort in their cozy homes during these cold days, the creatures of the land never rest.
Join the Celebrations
For the next three weeks, all the Core Nations will be celebrating the season of Frostfall and the riches it brings, and you, our pioneering Coreborn, are joining them!
In this update, we are introducing a wintry vibe to the Fields and Forests of Ambros. When you hunt, craft, or forage away the cold, you might stumble upon our special seasonal coins, which the new Frostfall vendor in Coreheim can’t wait to take off your hands. In exchange, of course, for candy cane-sweet goodies!
Frostfall-themed PBS schematics and hats are waiting for you to decorate your towns and bring the festive spirit to your community.
And as a little extra, the previous Content Drop 'Bandits of Ambros' has been wrapped up, and we've fixed a few of those pesky bugs, too!
But get yourself a hot cup of Jibtea and take your time to review our detailed Patchnotes!
As always, we appreciate your feedback, and if you have something to say, let us know on our Discord!
