Giants on the March

Fire giants advance through melting ice toward a frost-giant gatehouse.

Some threats wait a long time. The invasion of Jotunheim was written years ago, but its loader creature was never connected, so the attack quietly failed to happen on every boot. In August 2026 the procedure was repaired and connected at last.

Fire comes to the frozen halls

When the invasion fires, Glammad Firebeard leads a fire-giant army into Jotunheim: up to sixty fire giants, the Smoking Beard battalion, and a company of efreeti mercenaries. The frost giants do not wait politely. Extra jarls take up position, reinforcements fill the halls, and a heavily guarded gatehouse forms under a frost-giant mage.

It is a rare event, a small chance each time the world starts up. If you arrive to find the ice already melting, gather a strong group before stepping in, and expect two sides that both want you gone.

The repair is in the game build recorded as running in production on August 21, 2026. Whether the invasion is under way right now depends on the dice at the last reboot.
