Background

The enigmatic citadel of the Winter Court, born from ice and snow in the boreal wastes of northern Vorlassar. Like the rest of the Sidhe, the touch of the Wake has rendered the court largely apathetic to the growing conflict of the Dream, instead opting to meet oblivion in one last, hedonistic display of glory. The difference is that the games of the Winter Sidhe carry a much higher price, and their primeval, merciless nature has only crystalized under the influence of the Wake into gleeful cruelty. Your forays into Vorlassar had you inadvertently cross paths with the Winter Court as they went about preparing for their gala, and due to their inherent laws of hospitality you managed to score an invitation. Yet, with the destination being in the heart of an eternally frozen glacier, you are getting the feeling that you and your hosts have very different definitions of "hospitable".

Recent History

While almost definitely a trap, the Emerald Vanguard believes that you can make your invitation work to their advantage. The Winter Court is ancient, cunning and merciless beyond reckoning. Even before the Wake tinged their desires with mortal influence, the northern Sidhe were always known for their twisted senses of humor. By fey law, you are granted an audience with Cael Bheara, the Queen of Bitter Night, hierarch of the Winter Court. If you can bend her ear and convince her to join forces with the Vanguard, the Dream will have one more powerful ally against the Nightmare.

Just, try not to go through the front door. They're expecting that.
