“'''The Maiden of the Glacier who grants eternal remembrance in the legends of the North.'''Aurora, the Maiden of the Glacier, commanding the unwavering faith of innumerable mortals in the North, bestows eternity upon the world. In her youth, she endured the torment of her innate prowess for Frost Magic until the disciples of the Light brought her to Queen's Peak, whereupon she received an infusion of light which granted her immortality. Tearfully, her mother bade her farewell as she succumbed to the cold embrace of the blizzard. Aurora slumbered for a thousand years atop the peak. Upon her awakening, the truth dawned on her: genuine eternity lay in fleeting emotions, such as her mother's final comforting smile. Thus, Aurora resolved to bestow this eternity upon the world. It was at that moment that a legend was born in the North. The legend spoke of people close to death who would climb Queen's Peak, seeking the frigid embrace of the goddess there. If granted, all of one's memories, longings, end emotions would be left to the goddess, who would cherish them until the end of time. And thus, they would live on for eternity”
