Unwrapping the Chilling Tale of Frostlicht Eve:

Winter is here, and with it comes tales of festive cheer—or in our case, chilling dread. At Giants of the North, we’re thrilled to announce our upcoming Frostlicht Eve, a free one-shot adventure for D&D 5e that will send shivers down your spine. This Krampus-inspired escapade blends suspense, horror, and action, making it the perfect addition to your holiday gaming sessions.

In Frostlicht Eve, players find themselves trapped inside the cursed Frostlicht Globe—a magical snow globe with a dark secret. What begins as a whimsical winter setting quickly turns into a life-or-death struggle as your adventurers face the twisted perils of the Frostlicht House. To escape, they must solve devious puzzles, confront seasonally-themed monsters, and ultimately face the embodiment of holiday fear: Krampus.

Meet the Frostlicht BBEG: Krampus

Now, let’s talk about the star of this sinister show. Krampus is a nightmare wrapped in chains and cloaked in winter’s shadow. This isn’t your jolly gift-giver. Standing tall, with gnarled horns, black eyes, and an unsettling grin, Krampus is ready to punish those who dare enter his globe. His massive sack slung over one shoulder hints at his sinister purpose, while the rattling chains and bells that drag behind him seem to echo with the screams of the lost.

Krampus is more than a terrifying foe; he’s a force of nature. His ability to isolate and strike fear into his prey makes him a truly challenging adversary. With winter magic at his command and a host of frosty minions at his side, this BBEG will push even seasoned adventurers to their limits.

The incredible sketch (by Angelo Adonis Chavez) we’re sharing today perfectly captures Krampus in all his terrifying glory. From his hoofed feet to the ominous weight of his sack, this artwork is sure to give you chills—and maybe a little inspiration for your next session. (Final artwork coming soon).
