Frostburn

Note: because preparing all the assets and articles can take quite a while, this page will mostly offer a general synopsis for the time being
Some of the names or details might not be finalized yet

Frostburn is my original setting that I created with a purpose of having a single, consistent universe for all of my characters, as well as being able to come up with different scenarios that wouldn't exist in a vacuum. Many of their designs might appear familiar to you because a lot of them are heavily inspired by various characters from different series that I really like. Think of them as homages to all those different characters, but with designs that wouldn't look out of place together.

FROSTBURN

It has been two decades since the global cataclysm that ended the previous global conflict, causing supernatural phenomena to run rampant throughout the world. Metropolitan areas became safe havens, with uninhabited places far away from human population becoming increasingly more dangerous to visit.

As civilization healed and adapted, gradually taking back the land and making it inhabitable, particularly affected areas were cordoned off and turned into Thaumic Exclusion Zones, places where reality starts to break down and regular laws of physics, reason or logic no longer apply.

Despite the time of relative peace, with the two former superpowers trying to make amends and cooperate, overall relations remain tense as the balance of power keeps shifting and smaller conflicts continue to erupt throughout the world.


Ivan Vladimirovich Volkov is a former Red Army lieutenant from Belsev, a successor state to the former Northern Union.

Having gotten tired of his desk job in logistics, he begins venturing into the Exclusion Zones following his discharge in search of artifacts, formerly ordinary objects that have since been imbued with supernatural properties, to sell on the black market.

His activity inevitably attracts the attention of Hyperborea, a megacorporation specializing in research of unusual phenomena and developing technology utilizing Siberium, a unique mineral with supernatural properties. After hesitantly accepting their formal invitation, he begins his new job as their field agent.


One of Hyperborea's most important subsidiaries is the Arcane University of Thaumaturgy and Study of Magic.

Following increasingly strict regulations, and eventually complete ban of any practicing of magic in western nations, the Belsevian government decides to improve its image by welcoming wizards and sorceresses from around the world, offering asylum to those persecuted for their craft.

And, of course, potentially recruiting them to make use of their unique talents, shall the need arise...
