≈ King of the Mountain, the Bloodied Crown ≈

Legends tell of terrible beasts that haunt the ranges in the far frozen north. Monsters that will steal not only your livestock, but everything you hold dear if given the chance. Many do not live in the furthest reaches of the ice, not wishing to become prey for the massive creatures that call the mountains home.

But there are tales of vengeance. Of offerings made to the bloodthirsty rulers of the peaks. Many fall, paying for an unsatisfactory offering with their last breath. But to those who can brave the harsh blizzards and appease the creatures, they are granted one chance to appeal to the frozen sovereigns.

But beware the king and his vicious maw, for long has he survived on whispered terror and fiendish reputation. He feasts on those who would stand before him, and those who would stand against him, and bears trophies on his fur. His claws were not always stained so -- and he does not hesitate to stain them further.
