00:04Nithera is a land where the cold seeps into a man's bones, but it is the people who make it
00:11cruel. Beneath the ice lie vast caverns where nobles and warlords hoard warmth and wealth,
00:19while above, the common folk scrape out a life in caves and huts, all of them alike,
00:25pale, hollow, and stripped of difference by the endless winter. I walked into one of those
00:32hidden halls and met a warlord who thought himself master of that frozen dark. I slew him in fair
00:39combat, steel against steel, and left him broken upon his own stone. But death here breeds vengeance,
00:48a pale white woman who is not only his sister but also his wife, as their twisted customs
00:55decree, now hunts me with a fury colder than the wind, her hatred stalking me through the silent
01:02sameness of this land. Let her come. I have not crossed half the world to be undone by ice and
01:10grief.
01:29What spirit approaches in this storm? Easy now, I mean no harm. Together, we endure.
01:36Snow has been our cradle and our shield. For centuries, we have walked unseen, deeper than
01:42storms could reach. In the heart of the winter spine, neither of these endure. Within these
01:46caverns, we built a home of fire and ice, a city carved from stone, lit by the breath of
01:51the earth. We are the Nither'ins, born of the land of always winter. We endure in mountain
01:57caves. Our civilization hidden from the world.
02:05Welcome back. The market's full today. The heart of Nytheris still beats. Come,
02:11there's much to do. Our people have endured the long winter, and they will endure the next.
02:26The trail is still warm. He can't have gone far. If he means to flee north,
02:29he'll think the cold will hide him. Then we'll let the cold guide us. Blood in the prince,
02:33he's wounded. That will slow him. And when we find him, Kelric, our brother will be avenged.
02:40Gather a scout team. Find the barbarian who killed my brother. Yes, my lord. Bring me his head. Go now.
02:51The frost whispers our dominion. Our will binds the eternal winter. Rise and witness our eternal reign.
02:59None shall defy the ice. Onward, brave steed, to warmer lands.
03:06We made it. The green valley. The hill.
