Diplomatic action
Our heroes find a massive ice bridge and cross it, eventually meeting the ice queen herself, Sareem Faiso.
Rister and a small group of Dusk Smotherers, make their way to the Ice Queen's castle and meet Sareem Faiso. Sareem explains that she is trapped by magic from the Trees, and a deal is struck that, should Rister free her, she may help in the coming fight between Rister and the Dusk Lich.
