✦6th Reveal | Guest Artist - The Fluffy Folio!✦

Hey, golem crushers!
About 2 days left before this frigid campaign ends!
Time to make some more reveals!
---
(The amazing showcase is once again prepared by our fantastic art director, Dusky Cat!)
---------
The Fluffy Folio is an amazing creator that I have had the pleasure of collaborating with in the past, multiple times. Not only is he an amazing artist with his own unique art style, he is also an avid 5E homebrewer, creating tons of new creatures (and potions based on them) in his own setting and publishing it all through his Patreon!
So we invited him to join us in our campaign and asked him to illustrate his version of the huge Cryo Golem boss (that you may or may not fight at some point in the adventure...)!
(You may think it's small now... but wait until it starts growing in size...)
Just like with the previous "Guest Artist Reveal" artwork, ALL backers who have added the ART PRINTS PACK add-on to their pledge will have Fluffy's extra Cryo Golem art print as a free bonus!
A personal note here; we started our Patreon pages about the same time with Fluffy and I have always looked up to him. I just want to say out loud how incredibly proud I am of him and his work. He has really managed to create some really unique works and his content is full of smart and fun ideas.

Loot of the Reliquary!

Hey, loot goblins!
We are almost at the finish line, so time to show some more goodies from the book!
---
(The amazing artwork showcases are prepared by our fantastic art director, Dusky Cat and the core artwork of the book is made by ALGOYO!)
---------
Artwork Showcase #4
There's tons of awesome loot to find inside the Reliquary and some can even be "bought" from a certain individual that you might meet along the way... (might be Gaster, might be someone else... WHO KNOWS?!)
If you are unfamiliar with our previous work, then you should know that we create items with purpose. We generally try to avoid creating items that are just generic and without a good backstory. Just like with the Destined Artifacts, the magical items of the Reliquary were all put there for a reason and the main one in this case is helping you get through the dangers of the Reliquary.
Not only that, but some of the items belonged to important NPCs and will carry a lot of emotional and lore "weight"!

✦5th Reveal | Regional Map + Lore!✦
about 1 year ago
– Sat, Nov 11, 2023 at 05:47:08 AM
Hey, frostbinders!
Only 4 days left before the end of the campaign!
Also, we have this one and 3 more updates to go so stay tuned as we explore more and more the fantastic things that you can find through the mystical book that is Soulfrost Reliquary!
(We will of course keep updating you on the progress of the content after the campaign has finished!)
---------
Regional Map + Lore
Today we reveal a huge part of the book!
We will be adding a big regional map with points of interest that will be explained in detail throughout the "Regional Lore" part in one of the final chapters of the book. This will help GMs who wish to explore more of the region in their campaigns bring more stories to the table and more interesting encounters and situations for their players.
This will of course be more than just "lore text" since we are adding a lot of encounter tables and other things that will help GMs create encounters and situations quickly and easily.
(The amazing showcase is once again prepared by our fantastic art director, Dusky Cat!)
Explore the Valley of Fjar and uncover all the secrets left behind after the catastrophe that left the kingdom of Fjar in ruin!

The amazing regional map was created by our awesome and long-time collaborator: Smitchell

The campaign is almost over and we seriously cannot wait to deliver this book to you! Once again, I would like to remind you that our goal is to have the PDF published no more than 3 months after the live campaign has ended and soon after start production on the physical items too.
We are still very serious about keeping our promise of delivering high quality content at amazing speeds so that we can continue running more and more projects like this one in the future!
---
In a future update we will also be revealing some more information about our next campaign too which is planned to run sometime around October 2024. More epic journeys await you adventurers!

Until the next update then!
May Starlight guide your way, my friends!

Cryo-science and the insane Zanis Coldswitch!
about 1 year ago
– Thu, Nov 09, 2023 at 05:13:30 AM
Hey, seekers of the cold!
Less than a week left before the end of the campaign and we are so excited to talk about more of the awesome stuff you will find inside the book!
---
(The amazing artwork showcases are prepared by our fantastic art director, Dusky Cat!)
---------
Artwork Showcase #3
Deep inside the frigid halls of the Reliquary, the most loyal follower of Kez'arul still lingers and continues the research on Soulfrost magicks. We are talking about no other than Zanis Coldswitch, the crazy cryo-scientist himself!
---------
Zanis Coldswitch
A cryomaniac and a brilliant scientist, Zanis is fascinated with all things cold and ice. He feels anxious and distraught when he is not feeling some sort of frostbite on his own body, or when he is not freezing things with his strange devices. Although his research and his mania are related, he donned the ‘Coldswitch’ moniker and began learning under Kez'arul because of his willingness to put research above everything, including his desire to encase things into ice.
This duality made Zanis the most loyal servant to Kez’arul, while also pushing him to cooperate and help the Evenhope sisters when they came to the Reliquary. He wishes to continue his master’s work and learn more and more about Soulfrost, but the Heart of the Soulfrost is not an artifact for his hands. Zanis is a tinkerer, he builds devices that work thanks to souls empowering his devices while he has very little connection to the magical world. Magic just does not make sense to him, while machines and devices come naturally to him.
While Kez’arul initially had good intentions with his research, Zanis never cared about said matters. To Zanis, the research and science that goes along with it, are the reason itself. Knowledge and breakthrough are the end goals, not the bridge to help those who suffer. Therefore, the Evenhope sisters and their nefarious intentions did not bother this loyal servant of Kez’arul at all.
---------
Zanis has dedicated his life to the art of cryo-science and to finding ways to freeze things for all sorts of purposes and uses later. This has led him down the path of conducting terrible experiments on his subjects and those that do survive, end up having to move on with coldful symptoms.
Meet the Player Ancestry Option that goes with the story of Zanis and his research:
The Frigid Constructed
Deep inside the Soulfrost Reliquary lies Zanis Coldswitch’s laboratory. Of all the experiments run by the mad scientist and his interns, the construction of artificial servants is the most paramount one. This is because the total number of interns dwindles every week due to the volatile nature of Soulfrost experiments, and replacements are always in need. The other reason is that Zanis wishes to create the ultimate servant, a powerful automaton that can protect and serve his large laboratory.
The issue Zanis has with these rigid constructs is that sometimes they begin moving on their own. Worse so, some even talk and pursue their own interests in the lab. Whenever the constructs exhibit self-awareness, Zanis instructs his interns to toss them outside the Soulfrost Reliquary, sealing them off and ensuring they never return.
These Frigid Constructed acquired a semblance of a mind and will thanks to the Soulfrost magic used to animate their core. The soul element of the equation can sometimes stop being merely an energy conduit and instead give the Frigid Construct life within its frozen chassis.
