| The Man Who Fed the Frost is a local legend centered on Jorgen, a baker of [[Malstrand]] in the northern coast of [[█lmarka]]. The story recounts how, during the severe frost of early 2045, Jorgen allegedly warmed his ovens using only stories told aloud to save three villages from starvation while neglecting his own family. This impossible feat became a subject of folk tales among farmers who visited the town to hear his songs until the weather finally broke on its own. No official investigation by the [[Ring Guard]] or other authorities was recorded regarding the phenomenon, and the [[Church of Mark]] offered no comment on the matter. The events remain a curiosity in Malstrand rather than a matter of state concern for the [[█lmarkan Empire]]. | The Man Who Fed the Frost is a local legend centered on Jorgen, a baker of [[Malstrand]] in the northern coast of [[█lmarka]].
