MEET THE DREAMER
The dreamer was once royalty elsewhere, below the frozen, icy depths of Gelidryn's lakes. But their entire life spent below the water was miserable, with their mind completely focused on curiosity for what lies above the glittering expanse of water — and not in the normal way that their people were interested in the Primordials above, but in their own special, complete fascination. They would devote their life to getting on land, to discovering what was above and studying the people who lived there.
Falling in love was an accident. They saw the Prince there one day, their hair just barely above the waterline, staring at the shore. From there, it was only a matter of time before they found their way to a magical being they'd known of their whole life, but had been forbidden to meet — and then they were seemingly human. Sure, some things were strange about them, but did anyone really care? The Prince of Gelidryn surely didn't, and so they became their consort without much struggle but with plenty of fanfare. But, when you're in a position like that — at the very top of the food chain, it may still be difficult to settle debts, especially to a scheming sea witch.

MEET THE FROST
The Frost glides across Gelidryn’s silent lakes and crystalline forests, their arrival marked by swirling snow and a hush that settles over the land. Cloaked in shimmering ice and crowned with frozen light, they are both awe-inspiring and distant, a sovereign of winter whose emotions shape the world around them. Legends say The Frost was once a mortal, transformed by ancient magic into a being of chilling beauty and power. Their gaze can freeze rivers, and their footsteps leave delicate frost in their wake.
While many fear The Frost’s cold majesty, some seek their blessing for gentle winters or safe journeys. Yet with every act of protection, The Frost risks growing more isolated, their heart hidden behind walls of ice. Something is troubling them greatly. Could Gossamer be in Danger? The Frost ponders as they travel to warn the warm lands. In quiet moments amongst their journey, they wonder if anyone will ever thaw their heart, or if they are destined to wander Gelidryn’s winter forever alone.

Her mind has always been curious, an archaeologist in the form of a siren. She loved her family, she loved her friends, and she loved her home with a fiery passion… But there was always something that she needed more. An ache that called to her that could only be calmed when she would breach the surface of the lake she grew up in. Always hidden, always out of sight, of course, but in enough distance where she could still see others. Where she could watch them live their day-to-day lives or spend a day at the lake, away from the pressures of life, without the urge to pretend. To be themselves entirely.
How she wished she could do the same.
Sirens are not expected to hold such curiosities about the world above. They are meant to stay away from other species unless they were to gain something from them. The only thing she wanted to gain was knowledge. She wanted to know how they lived their lives, what traditions their families held, what gave them meaning. She desperately desired to know all she could about them and the histories of everyone… And yet, she was the only one who held such a desire. Her family didn’t understand. Her father, full of distrust to all aside from sirens, forbade her from continuing her quest to gain more understanding.
Then she fell in love.
It wasn’t a respectable mer, though. She fell in love with the Prince of Gelidryn, a Primordial next in line to rule their kingdom. A prince who never wished to be royal, yet was stuck in circumstance. All it took was one glance and she knew, oh, how she knew, that this was love that must be pursued.
Her father had been enraged. He refused to let his daughter to love one unlike them, and in a fit of fury, he drove her away. She made her way to the Sea Witch to strike a deal: make her appear Primordial, and she will do anything. Choosing to forget the stories and warnings, she found herself with legs in lieu of a voice.
And a debt she can only repay at a higher cost.
Her new life is full of others curious about her. Where did this woman suddenly come from? How did she suddenly appear one day, uncannily striking and captivating, and is now the consort of the future King? The questions kept coming, though she ignored them to the best of her abilities. Using her free time to seek out answers to her own questions so she may learn more of Gossamer while developing a deeper connection with others. A deeper understanding of the world that she once used to gaze at but could never touch.
Yet all magic comes at a price. And one day, she’ll have to repay her own to the Sea Witch. Whatever the costs may be.

Snow can be cruel, full of ice that chills to the bone and lowered temperature that could take one’s life if they’re not careful nor protected enough.
Snow can also be gentle, covering the world in a blanket of glistening white where others could play in and make a multitude of creations to the best of their imagination, may it be snow angels or igloos.
She is both.
A solitary creature, she makes her way through Gelidryn adding more to its wintery beauty. Once a mortdial, her home has become everything to her. She fell in love with the cold, the snow, the ice, and the frost from a young age, wanting to do all she can to share this beauty with others. Even before she was given her powers, her desire to protect her land grew strong. She knew that Gelidryn’s winters deserve a place in Gossamer.
She holds no memory of gaining her powers.
While her past life feels more like a dream, she doesn’t dwell much on it. All she knew was that she was given a purpose: being Gelidryn’s protector.
It is a lonely life. She won’t deny that. While her days are filled with her roaming through the land, bringing snow and ice with each step she takes, she is more so surrounded by her creations than by other creatures. Now, she wasn’t entirely a recluse. No, there have been times when mortdials and other creatures who’ve come to her for blessings. Hoping that by appeasing this goddess of ice and snow, they could witness the good winter contained instead of the chilly cruelty of them.
With each passing traveler, she ponders if any of them could be one to come back to her—or instead stays with her. She would never voice it aloud, but… she seeks companionship greatly. She cared not for what form it came in; as long as she moved on through this world unalone, she would be content.
And yet… There is a deeper question that she feared as well: What if she’s better off alone in solitude?
You cannot lose anyone else nor yourself if you are alone.
