Winter Cloth

All mobs in the Winter Dungeon can drop 2350 Indigo Ice Cloth!

Winterkeep

Lord Belmont, the wealthy mine owner, lived a life of luxury in his grand mansion just outside his mine. One winter, the snow clan orcs invaded the mine, and claimed it as their own. They started raiding the mansion, taking prisoners to use as slaves.

Lord Belmont was determined to protect his family and home so he hired mercenaries to battle against the orcs. However, they soon discovered that the orcs were not their only enemy…

Deep within the Temple of Frost there’s secret passage led to a hidden chamber where a powerful ancient lich has been imprisoned for centuries. He’s been using his dark magic to control the orcs to get revenge on the world that had imprisoned him. Through the power of the ancient lich, the orcs were able to overpower Lord Belmont mercenaries and take them as prisoners.

Lord Belmont’s once grand mansion now sits mostly empty, and the mines are overrun by orcs. A few hired fighters have stayed behind to protect Lord Belmont’s assets.

What can you get around Winterkeep?

Holly planter, fancy dish shelf (turnable with a deco tool), ice queen gargish wall piece (turnable with a deco tool.).

The jail is where Lord Belmont sent workers and villagers who didn’t follow the rules. Some daemons have found their way into the jails. Some prisoners are still jailed here, but have gone insane from the influence of the daemons.

You can get an ocean glacier horned mask (Turns with a deco tool), and a fallon hour glass.

Library of Mages

Vampires have taken up residence in the Library of Mages. They seem to be looking for knowledge in the books on taming daemons. They have successfully summoned some balrons to fight for them

Level 1 Entrance located at 6326, 2600 outside Winterkeep.

The Frozen Caverns are rich with minerals and metals. Lord Belmont flourished for years making money off of the mine. Until one year orcs came in from the mountains and took control of it. You can find many orcs inside overseeing human slaves as they mine the precious materials.

You can get an unfortunate adventurer bone container in this cave.

Frigid Arachnid Den

It’s unusual to find spiders in such a frigid climate, but the spiders in the Frigid Arachnid Den are different. This breed of spider has embraced the cold, and anything looking for shelter against the cold in their den will be food. The entrance to the den can be found in the level 1 Frozen Cavern across from the Winterkeep entrance.

Among the loot you can find here is a glacial baby spider in a web.

Arctic Mine

The Arctic Mine is a secondary mine that was opened up next to the Frozen Caverns. This mine was used to mine normal ores, where blacksmiths directly smelted and created goods. Unfortunately, it now stands empty due to lizardmen and earth elementals invading it.

Here you can find: ice lizard specimen test tubes (can turn with a deco tool), magical snow (combination item: see Magical Snow Globes), and snowy sign holder (can turn with a deco tool).

Temple of Frost

When Lord Belmont purchased the land for his mine and castle, he was warned to keep away from the Temple of Frost. He built his guards barracks next to the temple to keep an eye on anything trying to get escape the temple. Sadly, the previous owner of the land didn’t disclose that the temple was used to trap an ancient arcane lich hellbent on world domination. Belmont did get a nice discount on the land because of it.

You can get a steampunk clock of snow (turnable with a deco tool), smoking pipe (animated), and ice queen hued Achilles vase.

Chocolate Castle

Lord Belmont has an insatiable sweet tooth. He hired a witch that can conjure up the best chocolate in all of Sosaria. This witches secret to getting the chocolate is to enter a pocket plane made purely out of confection. For easy access she hid an invisible portal inside the Winterkeep castle. To enter you must know the exact location and password.

The witch keeps the password written down on a piece of parchment so she won’t forget.

Lord Belmont isn’t the only one residing in Winterkeep with a sweet tooth. A guard stole the witches stash of confections that contains the exact location of the gate. You may find the information you need in that chest!

Are You Feeling Lucky?

While hunting in the Chocolate Castle you may find a “Candyland token”
