Collage: Winterhaven

The village of Winterhaven rests in the middle of a mountainous valley with rocky hills surrounding it on three sides and a lake on the fourth. Surrounding the village is a thick forest of black pine trees that insulate it from the cold, winter winds that continually threaten to cover the land in ice and snow.

As you move farther away from the lake and closer to the mountains, the winter's chill brings snow that seems to blanket the land in a belt around the forest.

Far to the south, on the opposite side of the lake is the Runestone Hill with a massive set of double doors set into the side of the hill that lead to the Crystal Caves below.

The entrance to the crystal caves and the home of the Dragon who sleeps under the mountain


Deeper still in the crystal caves, you come upon the actual burial chamber of the Dragon - the Heart of Winterhaven itself.



To get to Winterhaven, you have to walk through time. A clock isn't

time, it's just numbers and springs. Pay it no mind, just walk right on

through so long as you have the right key.

One of the pathways to Winterhaven is through an old, grandfather clock that doesn't work. By winding the clock it will play a small tune - and for so long as it plays you can walk through it to get to the shard realm of Winterhaven.

Either a simple, brass key to wind the clock and let it play some weird tune.
