Age 110 — Age of Ash and Ice

• WoL Age 110 End: tbd

The embers of war smolder, yet the frost does not yield. What was once a realm of Ember and Frost has now descended into ruin. The flames that once roared with defiance have burned cities to husks of ash, and the creeping frost has choked the land beneath an unforgiving grip of ice.

Yet, amidst the ruin, something stirs.

The Dryads, once content to guard the sacred wilds, now take root in the charred remains of civilization. They do not rebuild—they reclaim. Every fallen kingdom feeds their hunger for vengeance, and where their wrath takes hold, nature itself rises as both weapon and executioner.

The Gnomes, ever-opportunistic, have retreated back to their homes.

Yet, even as fire fades to ash and ice blankets the land, something darker lingers in the ruins.

The Undead have returned, and this time, they do not intend to vanish.

For too long, the world has ignored the whispers of the grave, but now, the silence has broken. The dead rise in numbers unseen, their march unyielding, their hunger endless. This is not an invasion. This is a reclamation.

The old world burns. The new world freezes. And death claims all that remains.

This is the Age of Ash and Ice. Survive if you can.
