Friday, December 5th, 2025 - 6 AM Nocturnis News Blog
Good Morning Nocturnis! It's Friday, and what a start to December it's been. We're currently in the grips of an unprecedented and truly unnatural snowstorm that has blanketed our beloved city. Forecasters are at a loss, as this kind of heavy, relentless snowfall simply doesn't occur here at this time of year, or really, ever to this extent. Roads are treacherous, schools are closed, and the entire city is slowing to a crawl under a thick, frosty blanket. Stay safe out there, bundle up, and only travel if absolutely necessary. Our emergency services are working tirelessly, so please give them space to do their vital work.
But as if the weather wasn't enough, something even more astonishing and frankly, unsettling, has been reported. From the peak of Mount Nocturnis, a strange, shimmering portal has been observed. The reports are still coming in, but witnesses describe it as an ethereal gateway, crackling with an unnatural energy against the swirling snow.
Could this be connected to the ancient tales of the Ice Dragon Mountain on Thiervaldi? Is it possible that Lora, the Ancient Ice Dragon herself, has opened this portal here, perhaps to unleash her winter minions upon us, or even to recruit for her formidable army? The implications are chilling.
More to come as we gather information on this truly bizarre phenomenon.
Sir Clinton Hedges II reporting live from the Channel 6 news desk. It's 6 AM, have a good morning everyone, and stay warm!
Now, I wonder, has our esteemed historian ever heard of such strange occurrences or portals appearing in connection with unnatural blizzards in the past?
🎙️ Live on Channel 6 - Sir Clinton Hedges II
Sir Clinton: We now go live to Professor Eldred Vance, our resident historian and expert in Nocturnis's more... unconventional lore. Professor, thank you for braving the snow to be with us this morning.
Professor Vance: (Clearing throat) Thank you, Sir Clinton. It's... certainly an invigorating commute.
Sir Clinton: Indeed. Professor, the city is gripped by this unnatural blizzard, and more alarmingly, the sighting of a bizarre portal atop Mount Nocturnis. Our preliminary theory, purely based on old texts, is a connection to Lora, the Ancient Ice Dragon of Thiervaldi. In all your years of research, have you ever encountered accounts of such events—unnatural snowstorms coupled with dimensional rifts—especially those tied to the Ice Dragon?
Professor Vance: (Leaning in earnestly) Yes, Sir Clinton, I have. It's a dark chapter in the Nocturnis archives, generally dismissed as folklore. However, the confluence of these two phenomena—a rapid, localized, and historically unprecedented ice event and a visible dimensional tear on the highest local point—is detailed in what we call the Frost Prophecies of Elder Grimoire.
Sir Clinton: The Frost Prophecies? What do they say?
Professor Vance: They speak of a time when the veil between our world and the elemental plane of ice grows thin. They specifically mention a 'White Winter, born of no cloud,' which is triggered by an ancient power seeking egress or, as you suggested, gathering strength. The texts are vague on the source, but the description of the event—a portal manifesting high above the city, described as a 'fractured mirror of cold light'—is nearly identical to the initial reports we're receiving now.
Sir Clinton: And is there any mention of an Ice Dragon? Of Lora?
Professor Vance: The texts do not name Lora specifically, but they refer to the entity as the "Gelid Queen, who sleeps in the peaks and commands the frost armies." The most frightening detail is this: the Prophecies claim that the purpose of the initial snowstorm is two-fold. First, to provide the necessary ambient energy for the portal to stabilize. And second... (He pauses for dramatic effect)
Professor Vance: ...to freeze the hearts of the defenders, making them more susceptible to the Queen's psychic recruitment efforts. Whether she's sending minions through or recruiting from our ranks, the intent is clearly hostile.
Sir Clinton: A psychic recruitment... That is a grim thought for a Friday morning. Thank you, Professor. We will continue to track these developments.
