With the update Sea of Moving Ice, the story continues that began with the DLC Storm King’s Thunder in the MMORPG Neverwinter.
In a new Developer Diary, the developers discuss the story you will experience. Jarl Storvald, the king of the frost giants, wants to freeze the world with the Ring of Winter. The ring is hidden deep within the Fortress of Svardborg, which is located in the pack ice sea. This sea is treacherous, as ships must not only avoid icebergs, but are surrounded by wrecked ships. Furthermore, the ice expands considerably every winter, engulfing entire islands and their inhabitants, only to release treasures again in summer when the ice melts.
The final battle begins!
You find yourself aboard a ship, led by Artus Cimber, the former bearer of the ring, who feels drawn to this treasure. Your mission is not only to prevent the eternal winter. You seek revenge for the death of the tiefling wizard Makos, who was killed on Fanbreaker Island. You will receive support from the barbarian Wulfgar, his wife Catti-brie, and their moose tribe, as well as from Kavatos Stormeye, a powerful wizard of the Arcane Brotherhood.
But the moose tribe has suffered in the war against the frost giants and you must first procure supplies and food for the barbarians. Because they must be strong for the fight. Jarl Storvald has additionally secured the services of ice trolls and the ice hunters tribe. The ice hunters do not serve the giants willingly, as their leader has been taken hostage.
You can expect a challenging adventure in Sea of Moving Ice.
