After receiving word of a strange and powerful magical presence emanating from the arctic Snowfall Island, Zar set out to investigate these rumors to see if they held any merit with their claims. There hadn't been any strange occurrence on the island he was aware of aside from the one where a grieving ice wizard changed the once luscious island resort into a frozen wasteland for his own benefit. His rented boat arrived on the northern shores of the island, the cold air already nipping at any exposed openings in his armor, sending shivers down his spine. Cold wasn't Zar's favorite type of weather in the slightest, but he would brave any discomfort for the chance at discovering a previously undiscovered magical source of power. He pulled out the note he had been given by the informant as headed north, near the base of the largest mountain, where the magic was said to be the strongest and lead to the source. The winds only grew stronger as he neared the base of the mountain, kicking up snow and obscuring his vision of anything farther than 10 ft in front of him. It was an uphill struggle just to make it through the intensifying blizzard without relying on any of his magic reserves, but he finally managed to make it to the rocky surface of the mountain. The wind began to die down, allowing Zar to look up and gaze in wonder at the monstrous mountain of ice and rock that reached out to the sky, going beyond his line of sight but making it clear that it was the largest mountain on the island.
Once Zar had made it closer to the mountain, he started to feel what the informant had described to him in the letter; a strong, overpowering, magical presence resided within or around this island. Its presence on the island grew stronger the closer he got to the mountain face and peaked once he was able to touch the mountain. The feeling he was getting from this presence made his magical blood surge with rejuvenated energies from the arcane anomaly located here and as he reached out to feel around the surface of the mountain, a large blue glyph suddenly lit up and began shaking the mountain. At first, Zar thought he had triggered an avalanche and was preparing to run but then noticed that the rock face was shifting upwards, revealing a concealed entrance into the mountain.The cold winds quickly rushed into the opening, tugging Zar forward and into the mountain. There was no natural light so he was forced to provide himself with some via the torches he had stashed in his backpack. Once the torch was lit with a few matches and some oil, he began his descent into the mountain's secret cavern.
