"The Gods themselves could not help but shiver when met with the breath of the Heart" -Ragnar Forge-Fire.
The Heart of Winter is one of The Hearts, artifacts of incredible power, created by the God of a long forgotten people, among the others that bring Spring, Summer and Autumn, intended to bring Winter to Lorerah in part of a natural cycle. Since being taken underground by an unwitting Dwarf hero, the cycle has been broken, leaving the Winter a permanent fixture of the world,capable of covering the entire world in a never ending torrent of snow and frost. It is also the great white dragon Mhornar, and is powerful enough to cripple The Gods. It is the source of The First Snows and the end of summer.
