Despite a month of winter in the Empire, the weather was getting warmer, if not hotter, day by day. Nature was beginning to turn green again, and many beasts started to emerge from their winter hibernation, terrifying the villagers in their confusion. And while at first many assumed, jokingly, that it was just the heat of the flames burning within the hearts of the Empire’s defenders, the suspicions grew that something was wrong. With the arrival of the New Year’s Eve festivities, the mystery was finally revealed - another ploy by the insidious Grinch, who had plotted a new atrocity. Enlisting the help of robbers, this villain has attacked one of Santa Claus’ snowman and somehow managed to steal the winter. After all, it is not just snow and frost in the New Year. But such an impertinent interference with the natural course of things can shake the balance of nature - and cause much more terrible consequences than just a spoiled holiday. Winter must urgently return, and villains must be taught a lesson! So that they feel the fury of real frost penetrating to the bones!
Lords and Ladies! Winter is in danger - and it has to be saved from the tricks of the treacherous Grinch, who took refuge in one of the castles in the depths of the robbers' wasteland. Especially for this important mission, the court magician Abu-Bakir has resorted to particularly powerful enchantments - and managed to enlist the support of the army of the Cold. Even though these creatures are famous for their evil nature, by some simple manipulation they can be turned against the snatchers of their favorite element.
