The Frosthaven Council Chambers
**Scene: The Moonlit Gathering in Frosthaven** The air in Frosthaven is crisp and biting, the kind of cold that seeps into bones and lingers like an uninvited guest. A full moon hangs high in the dark sky, casting a silver glow over the snow-blanketed landscape, illuminating the intricate patterns of frost that lace the cobblestone streets.

In one corner, a Siren performs a haunting melody, captivating the crowd, while nearby, a Vampire negotiates with a Werewolf, tension crackling like electricity between them. The atmosphere hums with anticipation as a central stage awaits a grand announcement, where the Ministers will soon convene, their presence promising unity—or potential discord—between the island
