Cold Snap

Work In Progress
Functional as-is, but I intend to come back to finish the illustrations.

What's Going On Here?
In the field south of Alderburrow, wheat has run wild for seasons. Its trackless expanse is broken only by clusters of abandoned human machines. The Ancient and Galvanic Order of Linemice claims these hulks as their scavenging grounds, while the Graingers’ Union tightly monitors the rest of the field.

Mostly the A. G. O. L. deigns to be magnanimous about their territorial claim, but certain sites and artifacts prove the exception. One such site is a yellowing monolith, homestead of Fredegar the Gentletoad Farmer and center of odd tales of unseasonable chill.

Linemice have been spotted around the area far longer than the industrious order normally picks over a ruin – could this tower hold the secret of the A. G. O. L.’s mystical cold storage?
