Snowfall-at-Dusk's lamentation

This is a resource for Dolmenwood and Winter's Daughter by Gavin Norman (Necrotic Gnome & Exalted Funeral) - https://necroticgnome.com/pages/about-dolmenwood

I like to use Winter's Daughter for short arks and as an introductory quest to Dolmenwood. I used a magician (Mostlemyre Drouge - Prigwort, HEX 1106) as a quest giver - he wants the enchanted ring and offers a significant amount of GP for it, enough to allow the group to level up.


Given this incentive to take the ring to him, I need to communicate to the players that there is someone else who wants that ring very badly and is ready to pay well. When a fay is involved visions and prophetic dreams are automatically called for and a short poem could be the right medium to communicate Snowfall-at-dusk's plea.


In Frigia's embrace, I lonely stand, 

Snowfall-at-Dusk, princess of this land. 

Sir Chyde, my love, yet to arrive, 

In the dance of frost, our destinies strive. 


Nine centuries weave a tapestry of sighs, 

Silent longing beneath frozen skies. 

Chyde's ring, a promise, our fate's true key, 

A pledge unfulfilled, in waiting, I plea.  


Through realms unknown, my heart unfolds, 

For a true seeker, in tales yet untold. 

Riches and dreams, I offer with glee, 

To the brave one who brings Chyde's ring to me.
