<blockquote>''You stand in the shadows of the great ice-palace of the Winter City, a towering structure of blue spires rising from the face of a glacial wall that shields the northern half of the city, much as the ravine protects the south.

The Palace of Ice is the seat of power of the [[Boreal Elves]]. [[Queen Alissa]] and the rest of the palace succumbed to [[Kasyrra]]'s corruption, forcing Princess [[Etheryn]] to flee and seek out your help. Infiltrating the palace is the final dungeon of Act One. After Queen Alissa is driven out, the palace becomes a neutral hub for you and your allies.

''"You stand in the shadows of the great ice-palace of the Winter City, a towering structure of blue spires rising from the face of a glacial wall that shields the northern half of the city, much as the ravine protects the south. There is a solid wood gate here, though it's barred shut and guarded by a half-dozen boreal elven warriors clad up in heavy war-hides and bronze breastplates. Each of them has a two-handed war spear planted in the ground at his or her feet."''

==Points of Interest==
==Areas and Encounters (maps below)==
+
===Basement===
Main Floor-
+
----
*Wine Cellar - The entrance point of the dungeon
+
{{Infobox Location
**'''Take a Drink''': Enjoy some of Winter City's finest vintage. (Gain the Winterberry Wine status affect, temporarily Max willpower)
+
| name = Basement

}}
 +
====Royal Vault====
 +
----
 +
<blockquote>''The interior of the palace's vault is a stark, polished square of ice deep inside the glacier into which the structure was built.<br><br>
  
*Staircase: One space below Wine Cellar, Go down a level to the basement. (see below)
+
''The interior of the vault is... surprisingly empty. A few gems and old golden coins are scattered around, but it would seem that the royal family isn't nearly as wealthy as they'd like their subjects to believe.</blockquote>
 +
----
 +
The Royal Vault containing [[Etheryn]]'s [[Queenly Raiment]] set is on the east pathway. To open it, you will need Etheryn present, and to use '''Ryn's Blood''' or '''Ryn's Cum''' as the 'Kingly Essence' to unseal the magic lock.
 +
====Royal Catacombs====
 +
----
 +
<blockquote>''The royal catacombs stand before you, at the bottom of an open set of stairs and guarded by a pair of huge, broad-chested elven warrior-statues. Two large tombs are laid solemnly side by side within the chamber, each with a crowned headstone looming over it.<br><br>
  
*Throne room - The center spot of the castle
+
"Mother... father..." ''Ryn whispers, bowing her head to the tombs.</blockquote>
**[[Jael’yn]], corrupted Captain of the Elven Guard: Taunts the Champion and Etheryn before attacking
+
----
***Win:
+
The entrance to the Catacombs is on the southernmost square of this floor, and is navigable during the events of [[Specter of the Wyld]].
****'''Talk''': What’s waiting ahead?
+
===Floor 1===
****'''Fuck''': Have your way with her first, you can capture her later.
+
----
*****'''Breed Cunt''': Lay into her cunt, classic missionary style. (Increases Corruption by 3)
+
====Wine Cellar====
*****'''Anal-ride and Face-sit''': Ride her cock and make her clean up after. (Increases Corruption by 3)
+
----
****'''Capture''': Slave collar and ring, you say… (''The player chooses where to send her'')
+
<blockquote>''The castle wine cellar is a single large room built into the ice, connected to the southern palace by a flight of broad steps. Several large wooden casks line the frozen walls, filled with rich wines... though considering how isolated the Winter City is, and the climate of the region, you're not sure where they're getting all this wine. Some sort of wintery vineyard hidden away in the tundra?</blockquote>
*****'''Frost Hound''': She needs help, maybe she can do some work for Garth?
+
----
*****'''Wayfort''': She’d probably be happy turning the Wayfort into a home… (Leaving her to her devices at the Wayfort will probably corrupt her completely.)
+
When you infiltrate the palace, you end up in the Wine Cellar at the end of the eastern path of the floor. Just south is the stairway to the basement, and you and the party can '''Take a Drink''' here to enjoy the vintage and grant a party-wide [[Winterberry Wine]] boon.
***Loss:
+
====Throne Room====
****The Champion and Etheryn are placed in a set of stockades situated in the throne room, where Jael’yn proceeds to lead a gangbang on them until the champion passes out (BAD END).
+
----
 +
<blockquote>''The palace's throne room is a massive chamber of blue stone, with walls covered in cool-hued tapestries. Stands on either side give room for nobility to view the goings-ons from comfort, while the floor below is covered with carpets made of wild animal hides for standing room. Beneath the stands, [[Jael'yn]] constructed a set of stockades, big enough for two at a time. They're currently empty, but had your fight gone another way...<br><br>
  
*Doorway to the Ballroom - Directly north of the Throne room
+
''A massive throne made of enchanted ice sits atop a tiered dias, overlooking the chamber with regal majesty.</blockquote>
**'''Unlock''': What the hell kind of key unlocks this door, a dick?
+
----
***'''Dick lock''': Try to give the door a good hard dicking to open it up. (does not open door)
+
The Throne Room is at the centre of the intersection. During the infiltration, Guard Captain [[Jael'yn]] will be here with a retinue of [[Elf Guards]] and her harem. Once the dungeon has been resolved, the newly appointed Princess-Regent [[Etheryn]] will take the throne and be available here for some interactions not available in [[The Frost Hound]].
***'''Use Scepter''': Use the priestess’s golden cock-scepter on the lock. Maybe that’ll work? (successfully opens door)
+
====Chapel of Lumia====
 +
----
 +
<blockquote>''The chapel of Lumia dominates the far western wing of the palace, with a golden-hued altar beneath a truly massive effigy of the sun; each of its fiery tendrils is tipped with a burning candle. The chapel has been cleaned up considerably since your first encounters here, and a handful of golden-robed acolytes are tending to the myriad candles simulating the sun's shine behind the altar. High priestess [[Elthara]] is supervising them, but makes time you give you an inviting smile when she can.</blockquote>
 +
----
 +
[[Elthara]] is to the west during the infiltration, half-conscious across her altar with a sizeable dick-scepter implanted inside her. She's cleaned up afterwards, and can be interacted with in the same location.
 +
====Entrance Hallway====
 +
----
 +
<blockquote>''A wide, sweeping hallway connects the southern doors to the throne room north of you. A lush blue carpet sprawls out over the cold stone floor, and heavy tapestries in a myriad of bright colors attempt to add a little warmth to the hall.''</blockquote>
 +
----
 +
Just to the south of the Throne Room, [[Hethia]] can be found after the events of the infiltration in her new role as ambassador for the druids.
 +
====Grand Ballroom====
 +
----
 +
<blockquote>''The grand ballroom sits in the heart of the Palace of Ice, a sweeping stone-floored chambered richly adorned with rugs and regal tapestries. A pair of curving stairs on the north wall lead up towards the second floor, the royal chambers, as well as a second floor that rings the entire ballroom with room for crowds of nobles to gaze down on the dancers below.</blockquote>
 +
----
 +
The Grand Ballroom is to the north, and the site of the primary confrontation with [[Kasyrra]] and [[Queen Alissa]] during the infiltration. Initially, the room is sealed with a strange, carnal lock which can only be opened with the scepter you 'retrieve' from [[Elthara]].  
  
*Chapel - Far west of the castle
+
After the dungeon has been cleared, [[Elyon]] can be found here if you meet the conditions to encounter him.
**[[Elthara]], Ravaged High Priestess of Lumia: The party finds her unresponsive and severely cumflated, a large dick shaped scepter plugging her ass
+
===Floor 2===
***'''Pull Sceptre''': It's the least you can do for her. (Leads to combat)
+
----
****Win
+
{{Infobox Location
*****Regardless of option chosen the Champion gains the Scepter Key Item that unlocks the Ballroom door.
+
| name = Floor 2
******'''Pronebone''': Hold the elf down and roughly bang her brains out until she’s satisfied.
+
| image = Palace of Ice map floor 2.png
******'''Double team''': requires a dick wielding companion
+
| caption = Map of F2
******'''Scepter-Fuck''': Before you use it on the lock, there’s somewhere else you want to put it… namely, back inside the elf woman. Vigorously.
+
}}
******'''Leave''': You don't have time to indulge the whims of this woman. Leave her behind - you’re sure she'll be taken care of one way or another.
+
====Alissa's Bedroom====
****Loss
+
----
*****The priestess wants to use the giant dildo scepter on the champion
+
<blockquote>''The royal bedchambers of the [[Queen Alissa|elven queen]] are lavish by any standard, dominated by a veiled bed large enough for a dozen lovers to mingle in, as well as several polar bear-hide rugs to cover the ice-blue floors. Tapestries depicting Alissa herself in various heroic poses adorn the walls, but since the queen's corruption, they've been splattered by unknowable amounts of cum and other sexual fluids, leaving them mere ruins.<br><br>
******'''Yes please''': Fine, you’ll admit it - You are wildly curious about how such a thing might feel, and she's already proven it's possible.
 
*******Elthara Ruins you with the scepter (BAD END)
 
******'''Fuck no''': Not if she’s giving you a choice!
 
*******Elthara claims you as a sex toy and rides you before (BAD END).
 
***'''Drink it: Drink all the cum from the high priestess’s corrupted rectum. (Requires High Corruption)
 
  
*Ballroom - Upper north of the castle
+
''A truly immense collection of dildos are arranged all over the queen's dressers and desk, wood and glass and bronze modeled after every conceivable type of cock and some that are pure fantasy. They've all been well used, judging by the heady sexual smell emanating from... well, everywhere in the room, if you're being honest. If it weren't for the sheer '''expense''' of everything within the chamber, it would look and feel more like a brothel mistress's room instead of a queen's.</blockquote>
**[[Alissa]], the High Bitch Queen of the Boreal Elves turned Demoness cocksleeve: Taunts and threatens Etheryn before Kasyrra orders her to attack the party while she finishes her portal device.
+
----
***Win:
+
Alissa's chambers are the north-west corner of the floor. Depending on the events of [[In Her Footsteps]], you can further defile them with [[Kasyrra]]. Afterwards, you can '''Take Armor''' to loot Alissa's [[Royal Leathers]] and re-fit them for yourself.
****Having finished her artificial portal, Kasyrra sends the Queen off to give birth so that she can entertain you herself.
+
====Etheryn's Bedroom====
***Loss:
+
----
****Disappointed by your defeat, Kasyrra sends Queen Alissa off to play with Etheryn, then demanding you orally pleasure her while she completes the portal.
+
<blockquote>''[[Etheryn]]'s personal chambers are relatively modest compared to her big sister's lavish sex-palace. She has a simple double bed pressed against one wall, covered by a thick fur throw blanket, a nearly human-sized pillow, and her new leothran plushie, Nisse.<br><br>
*****'''Lick Asshole''': Get up close and personal with the demoness’ rear end.
 
*****'''Suck Balls''': Those big black orbs of hers are at least a little enticing...
 
******If Either of the previous options are chosen, the scenes are merged to a shared scene where the portal works flawlessly. The champion is introduced and handed off to [[Aileh]] whom they eat out, followed by the champion being spitroasted by two unnamed futa-dragons, before the game ends with Kasyrra officially claiming the champion as a cocksleeve. (BAD END)
 
*****'''Refuse''': You’ll never give in.
 
******Kassyra dissapointedly throws you through the portal, where the champion ends up permanently strapped into a milking machine, in a situation incredibly similar to the factory from CoC1. (BAD END)
 
**[[Kasyrra]], The would be Demon queen of your world: With Alissa's distraction, Kas has just completed her portal device to reopen a more reliable rift to her home realm of Mareth.
 
***Reaction:
 
****'''Greet her''': Now that she's done monologuing, you can take the opportunity to say hello. (can be followed by "Question Her" or "Witness")
 
****'''Attack her''': Enough beating around the bush! It's time to finish this demon bitch once and for all! (Takes this encounter in a significantly more confrontational direction then the others, must be followed by "Witness")
 
****'''Hug her''': Now that Alissa’s out of the picture, get a hug from your big demon lover. (can be followed by "Question Her" or "Witness")
 
****'''Question her''': You have some questions for the affable omnibus... (Opens more Dialogue options)
 
***Questions:
 
****'''Legions''': When she says legions...
 
****'''Portal Device''': How the hell has Kas made this infernal thing?
 
****'''Alissa''': What did she do to Queen Alissa? (unlocks “Why Imps”)
 
****'''Ryn’s Cage''': Is it really possible Kasyrra could remove Etheryn’s chastity cage?
 
****'''Why Imps''': You saw Kas birth imps outside the Wayfort, and now she says Alissa’s womb is full of them too? Why!?
 
***'''Witness''': Witness what Kayrra has been planning since the moment she arrived in the Winter City. There will be no going back from this.
 
  
--The player can not actually stop Kas from activating the portal, but the opening is far less flawless then if they were defeated by Alissa. The Champion will see several draconic figures making their way through, but they also see a giant mass of writhing darkness chasing and absorbing them. Aileh successfully makes it through and immediately tells Kas to close the portal. 2 more dragons come through, but are immediately snatched by the [[Abyssal Thing]] and absorbed into it as it emerges. Kassyra, enraged at the loss of her "Daughters" prepares to combat this thing. How this proceeds is determined by the relationship the Champion has to Kasyrra.
+
''A bookshelf and desk fill up the adjacent wall. Several tomes on falconry and bird-care are still open on the desk where she's left them. A brass falcon-cage is hanging from the ceiling beside the desk, currently occupied by Harrick. The war-bird gives you a screech in acknowledgement.</blockquote>
 +
----
 +
Etheryn's chambers are to the east of her sister's. You can go on a '''Panty Raid''' here to examine her lingerie and unlock a scene with her if she's present.

====Rooftop Balcony====
 +
----
 +
<blockquote>''A large balcony, carved from the glacial ice, stands proudly over the Winter City. You can see the entire town from up here, and past the walls and into the Frostwood beyond the city's protective ravine.<br><br>
  
*Romance Path:
+
''All around you are the icy spires of the palatial roofs.</blockquote>
**Abyssal Thing: You and Kasyrra work together and attempt to fight this dark force.
+
----
***You virtually incapable of defeating it, because it is completely immune to damage. The fight consists of either being knocked out and defeated, or attaining "Victory" by surviving for several turns, but both of which have essentially the same outcome.
+
This area is only accessible during the initial infiltration of the palace, through the staircase to the east of F2. Here above the palace, in full view of the citizenry below, [[Queen Alissa]] loses her soul giving birth to [[Kasyrra]]'s corrupted spawn and becomes a demon. This is the end of the dungeon and Act One.
***[[Lumia]]: The goddess Lumia appears to save you and to chase off the Abyssal Thing, threatening to come back for Kas. If you survived the several rounds necessary for “victory” you will gain the resolve and health boosts a combat victory rewards. If you lost the fight you will both be healed to full health and resolve.
+
===Lower Catacombs===
****Actual Combat: As Lumia faces the Abyssal Thing, the champion and Kasyrra are left together to defeat a [[Corrupted Dragon]] and several [[Corrupted Elves]]
+
----
*****Win: After successfully defeating the corrupted elves and dragons together, Aileh informs Kasyrra that only a small number of the dragon forces were coming through the portal immediately, suggesting (more hoping) that the majority of her sisters are still alive on Mareth. Kasyrra then apologizes to the champion for the lack of time they have together, and also that she was unable to provide the entire legion of her daughters for the champion’s sexual pleasure.

<blockquote>''You stand at the bottom of the stairs leading down into these lower depths of the royal crypt. Before you stretches a long corridor, dark as night, lined with shelf-like hollows where the ancient dead were laid to rest.<br><br>
******'''Just a Hug''': Considering what's just happened, you'll suffice with a hug.
 
*****Loss:
 
******After being beaten by the minions, Lumia herself is defeated by the Wraith, who absorbs her before landing and doing the same to the champion. After being transformed, the Champion easily overpowers Kasyrra, and is content to keep Kas, Lumia, Etheryn, and the rest of the companions as sex toys.
 
  
--After all combat, Kasyrra and Aileh race off to watch Alissa give birth. To catch up with them go straight north, up the stairs, then east. The Party then witnesses Alissa birth a handful of imps, the process of which fully transforms her into a demon, her soul crystallizing and ejecting from her body which Kasyrra collects. After this they all bid you farewell before escaping and flying back to her lab, followed by Etheryn addressing the Elves of the kingdom and taking Alissa's place as Queen.
+
''The skeletons have been preserved remarkably well by the frigid glacier the palace was built into. Thanks to Elthara's light you can, unfortunately, see the ghastly grin of skulls leering down at you from all angles.</blockquote>
 +
----
 +
During [[Specter of the Wyld]], you enter the lower catacombs to the south of the floor. A ghostly wall cuts you off from the surface until you've resolved the spectral lover's quarrel compromising the glacier the palace is built into.
 +
====Statue of Lumia====
 +
----
 +
<blockquote>''You stand before a statue of Lumia, goddess of sunlight... at least, that's the closest approximation you can imagine. It's an elven woman, tall and slender and regal-looking, holding aloft a beacon of flame in one hand, with a scythe couched under her other armor. The goddess's armor has been painted gold, and her hair is flaxen-blonde, but otherwise the stone has worn to colorless grey.<br><br>
  
 +
''There are four corridors branching from this central chamber: south leads back to the stairs; east and west branch off into smaller corridors with somewhat less adornment than you've seen so far; to the north the tomb becomes wider and leads up to a set of stairs, maybe five feet high, beneath a vaulted arch.</blockquote>
 +
----
 +
In the central intersection, you are attacked by the [[Sunlight Warriors]].
 +
====Harem Chambers====
 +
----
 +
<blockquote>''The harem's grave is a deep circular chamber, with a floor perhaps fifty feet below you. The walls are ringed with stairs, leading down in the dark depths of the ice. All the skeletons here are adorned with rich silk and jewels, proof that once upon a time they were favored and beloved. What silks that have not been eaten by moths have long since rotted away, barely recognisable as the finery they once were, but the jewelry has gained no tarnish in the intervening centuries.</blockquote>
 +
----
 +
Down the east corridor is the harem's burial chambers. Here, you have the option to '''Investigate''', triggering an encounter with restless [[Harem Spirits]] with the opportunity to put them to rest and gain loot.
  
*Antagonist:
+
====Consort Chambers====
**[[Aileh]]: Kasyrra successfully opens the portal with no negative repercussions at all (see [[Abyssal Thing]]), from which Aileh emerges. Kasyrra introduces you to her, describing how her arrival on this world and the portal explosion has uniquely enriched your soul unlike anything she has ever seen. After this, during which several more dragon warriors emerge through the portal, The portal finally malfunctions and closes. Kas orders what Dragons have crossed through to grab as many elf sluts as they can carry and take wing so she can take them back to her lab. Immediately after giving the order, shrieks from above remind Kas that Alissa is giving birth, and implores the champion to join them to watch.
+
----
***Birth: Kasyrra somehow manages to taunt the champion ''and'' Alissa while the latter gives birth to a batch of imps, much to her surprise. Kasyrra asks the champion what they plan to do, claiming it is her duty to protect the queen giving birth to her children.
+
<blockquote>''You're inside the royal crypts underneath the Winter City, half-buried under the glacier. Skeletons are set deep into the walls on either side of you, where the dead are laid to rest. Those entombed here are adorned in luxurious silks, bangles, and gems... but no crowns or royal shrouds. Perhaps the consorts of the kings and queens of winter are buried here?<br><br>
****Wait: You know damn well you aren't ready to pick a fight with Kasyrra. Let Alissa’s birth play out in peace.
 
****Pick fight: You have a chance to plant your blade in Kas and depose the queen all at once! You can’t pass it up!
 
  
--The champion has virtually no chance to defeat Kasyrra as she crits on every ability for 100+ damage. After being defeated or waiting it out, The Champion witnesses the Queen fully birth several imps, the process of which fully transforms her into a demon, her soul crystallizing and ejecting from her body which Kasyrra collects. After this they all bid you farewell before escaping and flying back to her lab, followed by Etheryn addressing the Elves of the kingdom and taking Alissa's place as Queen.
+
''You can still see the guardian statue and her light back east. To the north, there are more tombs.</blockquote>
 +
----
 +
Down the west corridor, you encounter Consort [[Synneva]]. You have to come here and put her to rest to access the north corridor and complete the dungeon.
  
 +
====Royal Chambers====
 
----
 
----
Basement-
+
<blockquote>''The burial hollows in the walls of this wide-open chamber are far filled by skeletons adorned in kingly raiment, bedecked in jewels and silken burial shrouds. At the center of the chamber, just north of where you stand, is a raised platform on which sits a row of sarcophagi made entirely of sculpted ice.</blockquote>
*Staircase: North of the basement
+
----
 
+
To the north, only accessible after dealing with [[Synneva]], is [[Queen Atheldred]]. Putting her to spirit, however achieved, will disperse the barrier keeping you trapped in the catacombs.
*Tombs: Directly south of the stairs, Etheryn bows her head in the presence of her mother and father's tombs
+
==Quest Related==
 
+
===[[In Her Footsteps]]===
*Vault: the far east of the basement, the royal vault that contains the kingdom's wealth and the palace weapons
+
----
**'''Unlock''': It seems Etheryn has the power to unseal the castle vaults...
+
As part of your quest to foil [[Kasyrra]]'s nefarious dealings and/or have sex with her again, you must infiltrate the Palace of Ice with [[Etheryn]]'s assistance to confront Kasyrra and [[Queen Alissa]].
***'''Ryn’s Blood''': Drain some of Ryn’s blood onto the pedestal. Perhaps blood is the kingly essence?
+
===[[Specter of the Wyld]]===
****Successfully opens the door, and deals 3 points of damage to Ryn.
 
***'''Ryn’s Cum''': If you need kingly essence, Ryn’s got a couple balls full of it.
 
****Successfully opens the door
 
***Leave
 
--Regardless of which option the champion decides to open the vault with, the result is Etheryn acquiring a new gear set. the Queenly Raiment set alters her abilities to that of a white mage, similar in function to [[Cait]]’s, as well as altering her stats. (Her at-will ability becomes heal)

----
Second Floor-
+
Once you've driven out the corruption at the heart of the palace, the echoes of the past threaten to rise up and destroy everything you've achieved. You, [[Etheryn]], [[Elthara]], and [[Hethia]] must travel down into the depths of the catacombs to put the past to rest.
*Alissa's chambers: North-west corner of map

===[[The Wyld Hunt]]===
**'''Alissa's Armor''': Acquire the masterwork white fur-padded leather armor of the amazonian elven queen that her pregnant form grew out of. (gain [[Royal Leathers]])
 
 
 
*Etheryn's Chambers: 1 space east of Alissa's
 
**'''Panty Raid''': "Go digging through Etheryn's unmentionables" (If Ryn isn't present you rifle through them and put them back. If she is present, see below)
 
***'''Ryn Model''': Ask Ryn to model her old undergarments for you.
 
****'''Finish''': Let's get a move on, Ryn.
 
****'''Fuck her''': Your cock's rock hard from watching your pretty princess dance for you, and those panties are made for fucking right through them...
 
***'''Put back''': Just put Ryn's panties back where they came from.
 
 
 
==disclaimer==
 
As of its release (Summer 2020) the Ice Palace Dungeon is undoubtedly the most content dense location in the game, the content itself also being the most choice heavy in the game. As you can tell from reading what is written here about Kasyrra, the end encounter alone has (at minimum), 2 extremely different branching paths, one of which results in Kas having a platoon of dragon warriors at her disposal, and one which results in one dragon daughter in this world and a beast of pure dark energy with no purpose but destruction being released on the world. There is a very real if not definite chance that certain aspects of the dungeon are missing from this Wiki Entry, but it is a start that players should hopefully find helpful.
 
*This wiki entry does not even begin to touch the differences in content surrounding Etheryn based on confidence or libido, as Etheryn is present for the entirety and speaks often, which could cause a great amount of variance.
 
*This wiki entry does not take into account the difference of content based on [[Hethia]]'s presence. Hethia was present in the party for all runs viewed and recorded for the purpose of this article
 
**Another aspect not covered is the conditions necessary for Hethia's presence. It is likely that Hethia's presence requires a peaceful resolution to the [[Dog Days]] quest, but as of recording this that has not been tested or confirmed
 
*This wiki entry does not record the items rewarded on completion of the combat encounters, mostly do to the fact that equipment entries do not exist and adding them to this page would be a bad idea, considering there are too many [[red links]] already.
 
**All of the enemy mini-bosses do reward unique items.
 
*This wiki does not take into account the effects a neutral relationship with Kasyrra has on the content. Only the effect of having a romantic relationship with her, and attacking her.
 
**It is very possible that not having a relationship with her and reacting neutrally to her will lead to a completely different branching outcome. As well, a neutral relationship + hugging her could lead to the romance branch, but the ability to hug her if not already romancing may not even be possible. these questions were not able to be tested as of the writing of this entry.
 
 
 
Again, expect that there is content in this dungeon that is not recorded in this entry. For the sake of knowing what could be different, all of this info was recorded by playing with a character with 17 points of corruption (Pure), a confident Etheryn, unknown libido of Etheryn but likely low, and party consisting of Champion-Cait-Etheryn-Hethia. The lack of studs is why there is no details in the Elthara-double team option, but considering it is a character written by [[Wsan]] in a dungeon directly overseen by [[Savin]], I would hazard a guess that [[Berwyn]], [[Quintillus]], Definitely [[Brint]], and probably even [[Arona]] have variants of that scene, but none of this can be confirmed.

Palace of Ice
Palace of Ice map floor 1.png
Map of Palace of Ice F1
Region Winter City
Level range 5+
Accessible from Winter City
Neutral Hub Yes (after dungeon cleared)

You stand in the shadows of the great ice-palace of the Winter City, a towering structure of blue spires rising from the face of a glacial wall that shields the northern half of the city, much as the ravine protects the south. There is a solid wood gate here, open and guarded by a pair of boreal elves in heavy armor and bearing war-spears.


The Palace of Ice is the seat of power of the Boreal Elves. Queen Alissa and the rest of the palace succumbed to Kasyrra's corruption, forcing Princess Etheryn to flee and seek out your help. Infiltrating the palace is the final dungeon of Act One. After Queen Alissa is driven out, the palace becomes a neutral hub for you and your allies.

Royal Vault


The interior of the palace's vault is a stark, polished square of ice deep inside the glacier into which the structure was built.

The interior of the vault is... surprisingly empty. A few gems and old golden coins are scattered around, but it would seem that the royal family isn't nearly as wealthy as they'd like their subjects to believe.


The Royal Vault containing Etheryn's Queenly Raiment set is on the east pathway. To open it, you will need Etheryn present, and to use Ryn's Blood or Ryn's Cum as the 'Kingly Essence' to unseal the magic lock.

Royal Catacombs


The royal catacombs stand before you, at the bottom of an open set of stairs and guarded by a pair of huge, broad-chested elven warrior-statues. Two large tombs are laid solemnly side by side within the chamber, each with a crowned headstone looming over it.

"Mother... father..." Ryn whispers, bowing her head to the tombs.


The entrance to the Catacombs is on the southernmost square of this floor, and is navigable during the events of Specter of the Wyld.

Floor 1


Wine Cellar


The castle wine cellar is a single large room built into the ice, connected to the southern palace by a flight of broad steps. Several large wooden casks line the frozen walls, filled with rich wines... though considering how isolated the Winter City is, and the climate of the region, you're not sure where they're getting all this wine. Some sort of wintery vineyard hidden away in the tundra?


When you infiltrate the palace, you end up in the Wine Cellar at the end of the eastern path of the floor. Just south is the stairway to the basement, and you and the party can Take a Drink here to enjoy the vintage and grant a party-wide Winterberry Wine boon.

Throne Room


The palace's throne room is a massive chamber of blue stone, with walls covered in cool-hued tapestries. Stands on either side give room for nobility to view the goings-ons from comfort, while the floor below is covered with carpets made of wild animal hides for standing room. Beneath the stands, Jael'yn constructed a set of stockades, big enough for two at a time. They're currently empty, but had your fight gone another way...

A massive throne made of enchanted ice sits atop a tiered dias, overlooking the chamber with regal majesty.


The Throne Room is at the centre of the intersection. During the infiltration, Guard Captain Jael'yn will be here with a retinue of Elf Guards and her harem. Once the dungeon has been resolved, the newly appointed Princess-Regent Etheryn will take the throne and be available here for some interactions not available in The Frost Hound.

Chapel of Lumia


The chapel of Lumia dominates the far western wing of the palace, with a golden-hued altar beneath a truly massive effigy of the sun; each of its fiery tendrils is tipped with a burning candle. The chapel has been cleaned up considerably since your first encounters here, and a handful of golden-robed acolytes are tending to the myriad candles simulating the sun's shine behind the altar. High priestess Elthara is supervising them, but makes time you give you an inviting smile when she can.


Elthara is to the west during the infiltration, half-conscious across her altar with a sizeable dick-scepter implanted inside her. She's cleaned up afterwards, and can be interacted with in the same location.

Entrance Hallway


A wide, sweeping hallway connects the southern doors to the throne room north of you. A lush blue carpet sprawls out over the cold stone floor, and heavy tapestries in a myriad of bright colors attempt to add a little warmth to the hall.


Just to the south of the Throne Room, Hethia can be found after the events of the infiltration in her new role as ambassador for the druids.

Grand Ballroom


The grand ballroom sits in the heart of the Palace of Ice, a sweeping stone-floored chambered richly adorned with rugs and regal tapestries. A pair of curving stairs on the north wall lead up towards the second floor, the royal chambers, as well as a second floor that rings the entire ballroom with room for crowds of nobles to gaze down on the dancers below.


The Grand Ballroom is to the north, and the site of the primary confrontation with Kasyrra and Queen Alissa during the infiltration. Initially, the room is sealed with a strange, carnal lock which can only be opened with the scepter you 'retrieve' from Elthara.

After the dungeon has been cleared, Elyon can be found here if you meet the conditions to encounter him.

Alissa's Bedroom


The royal bedchambers of the elven queen are lavish by any standard, dominated by a veiled bed large enough for a dozen lovers to mingle in, as well as several polar bear-hide rugs to cover the ice-blue floors. Tapestries depicting Alissa herself in various heroic poses adorn the walls, but since the queen's corruption, they've been splattered by unknowable amounts of cum and other sexual fluids, leaving them mere ruins.

A truly immense collection of dildos are arranged all over the queen's dressers and desk, wood and glass and bronze modeled after every conceivable type of cock and some that are pure fantasy. They've all been well used, judging by the heady sexual smell emanating from... well, everywhere in the room, if you're being honest. If it weren't for the sheer expense of everything within the chamber, it would look and feel more like a brothel mistress's room instead of a queen's.


Alissa's chambers are the north-west corner of the floor. Depending on the events of In Her Footsteps, you can further defile them with Kasyrra. Afterwards, you can Take Armor to loot Alissa's Royal Leathers and re-fit them for yourself.

Etheryn's Bedroom


Etheryn's personal chambers are relatively modest compared to her big sister's lavish sex-palace. She has a simple double bed pressed against one wall, covered by a thick fur throw blanket, a nearly human-sized pillow, and her new leothran plushie, Nisse.

A bookshelf and desk fill up the adjacent wall. Several tomes on falconry and bird-care are still open on the desk where she's left them. A brass falcon-cage is hanging from the ceiling beside the desk, currently occupied by Harrick. The war-bird gives you a screech in acknowledgement.


Etheryn's chambers are to the east of her sister's. You can go on a Panty Raid here to examine her lingerie and unlock a scene with her if she's present.

Rooftop Balcony


A large balcony, carved from the glacial ice, stands proudly over the Winter City. You can see the entire town from up here, and past the walls and into the Frostwood beyond the city's protective ravine.

All around you are the icy spires of the palatial roofs.


This area is only accessible during the initial infiltration of the palace, through the staircase to the east of F2. Here above the palace, in full view of the citizenry below, Queen Alissa loses her soul giving birth to Kasyrra's corrupted spawn and becomes a demon. This is the end of the dungeon and Act One.

Lower Catacombs

Map of the Catacombs

Entrance


You stand at the bottom of the stairs leading down into these lower depths of the royal crypt. Before you stretches a long corridor, dark as night, lined with shelf-like hollows where the ancient dead were laid to rest.

The skeletons have been preserved remarkably well by the frigid glacier the palace was built into. Thanks to Elthara's light you can, unfortunately, see the ghastly grin of skulls leering down at you from all angles.


During Specter of the Wyld, you enter the lower catacombs to the south of the floor. A ghostly wall cuts you off from the surface until you've resolved the spectral lover's quarrel compromising the glacier the palace is built into.

Statue of Lumia


You stand before a statue of Lumia, goddess of sunlight... at least, that's the closest approximation you can imagine. It's an elven woman, tall and slender and regal-looking, holding aloft a beacon of flame in one hand, with a scythe couched under her other armor. The goddess's armor has been painted gold, and her hair is flaxen-blonde, but otherwise the stone has worn to colorless grey.

There are four corridors branching from this central chamber: south leads back to the stairs; east and west branch off into smaller corridors with somewhat less adornment than you've seen so far; to the north the tomb becomes wider and leads up to a set of stairs, maybe five feet high, beneath a vaulted arch.


In the central intersection, you are attacked by the Sunlight Warriors.

Harem Chambers


The harem's grave is a deep circular chamber, with a floor perhaps fifty feet below you. The walls are ringed with stairs, leading down in the dark depths of the ice. All the skeletons here are adorned with rich silk and jewels, proof that once upon a time they were favored and beloved. What silks that have not been eaten by moths have long since rotted away, barely recognisable as the finery they once were, but the jewelry has gained no tarnish in the intervening centuries.


Down the east corridor is the harem's burial chambers. Here, you have the option to Investigate, triggering an encounter with restless Harem Spirits with the opportunity to put them to rest and gain loot.

Consort Chambers


You're inside the royal crypts underneath the Winter City, half-buried under the glacier. Skeletons are set deep into the walls on either side of you, where the dead are laid to rest. Those entombed here are adorned in luxurious silks, bangles, and gems... but no crowns or royal shrouds. Perhaps the consorts of the kings and queens of winter are buried here?

You can still see the guardian statue and her light back east. To the north, there are more tombs.


Down the west corridor, you encounter Consort Synneva. You have to come here and put her to rest to access the north corridor and complete the dungeon.

Royal Chambers


The burial hollows in the walls of this wide-open chamber are far filled by skeletons adorned in kingly raiment, bedecked in jewels and silken burial shrouds. At the center of the chamber, just north of where you stand, is a raised platform on which sits a row of sarcophagi made entirely of sculpted ice.


To the north, only accessible after dealing with Synneva, is Queen Atheldred. Putting her to spirit, however achieved, will disperse the barrier keeping you trapped in the catacombs.
