Frostfire Foundry

I'll burn you down to your bones!

Alias: 혼돈의 냉각로
Difficulty Levels: 1 - 7
Release Date: January 23, 2024

In the Northern Continent lies an ancient energy known as the power of the Golden Dragon, dwelling within the depths of the earth. Believed to be around since the Realm was first created, it is said to maintain balance and protect the land from corruption. When evil energy like Dark Chi or Chaos enters the land, the Golden Dragon responds with a primal fury. Heat vents spew forth scalding magma, fissures tear open the earth's crust, and volcanoes erupt to paint the sky with hues of crimson and gold.

Amidst this delicate balance, a Phantasmic Pillar, a source of demonic energy eminating from just south of Handan Village, is threatening the balance of the land. And yet, the Golden Dragon has not responded. Something is blocking the purification process, hindering the eruption—an underground base belonging to the Inheritors. Large and complex machinery keeps the lava-ridden field freezing cold. But with the Chaos lingering, it is only a matter of time before the Golden Dragon roars and the ground erupts with lava.

Dahmik, a wise and perceptive herbalist, was the first to sense the impending cataclysm. He rushed to Handan Village, his voice echoing through the streets as he pleaded with the villagers to evacuate their homes. Yet, his pleas fell on deaf ears. The mayor, bound by duty and fear, refused to abandon his town, and the villagers dismissed Dahmik's warnings as the ramblings of a mere herbalist.

The fate of Handan Village hangs in the balance as the Golden Dragon's rage grows impatient. With time running out, the mission to investigate the Inheritors' facility and subdue the volcanic beasts within falls upon you, before Handan Village is utterly decimated by the raw, unchecked wrath of the Golden Dragon.
