In the annals of Nivaria's history, the presence of humans on the plane dates back to its very inception, an ancient civilization lost to the ravages of time. The mysteries that enshroud their fate are as vast as the sprawling ruins encased deep within the solid ice, for these crumbling remnants are all that remain of their once-thriving society. The few surviving settlements scattered across the plane, discovered during the initial settlement of the Glacianths, hold no answers nor hold much knowledge of the enigmatic structures concealed beneath the frozen surface.

The tantalizing allure of these hidden structures has long captivated the hearts and minds of scholars and explorers, their curiosity fueled by the desire to unravel the secrets locked away within the icy confines. Yet, for countless years, entry into these ancient ruins remained an elusive dream, a tantalizing enigma that taunted the inquisitive souls of those who sought to penetrate their mysteries.

It was a fortuitous turn of events that brought the possibility of exploration and discovery closer to reality, a momentous occasion sparked by the discovery of one of the towering spires of Xalendra. Deep within the frozen depths of a hidden subterranean lake, the diligent efforts of dwarven miners unveiled this majestic edifice, a portal beckoning intrepid adventurers to step foot inside the long-lost ruins.

Against this backdrop of desolation and anticipation, the Xalendra expedition takes root outside the towering spire, their camp a bustling hub of activity and anticipation. Meticulous preparations are made, equipment is meticulously checked and rechecked, and a palpable sense of trepidation intermingles with a steadfast determination to traverse the uncharted depths lurking beyond the colossal structure.

The minds of the expedition members teem with a whirlwind of speculation and curiosity as they prepare to descend into the unknown. The weight of history and the prospect of unearthing long-lost secrets bear heavily upon their shoulders. Each member braces their resolve, steeling their minds and fortifying their spirits, for the journey into the darkness promises to be an arduous one, cold, wet, and isolated from the world above.

With each step taken into the depths, they venture into a realm that time has forgotten, where echoes of forgotten whispers reverberate through the corridors of ice and stone. Guided by flickering lanterns, their beams casting eerie shadows on the ancient walls, the expedition delves deeper into the heart of Xalendra, eager to bear witness to what lurks within the great unknown.

In the face of darkness, isolation, and the ever-present chill of the unknown, the intrepid souls of the Xalendra expedition carry the flame of discovery. They strive to uncover the forgotten truths, to resurrect the lost tales of a civilization long past, and to weave together the fragmented threads of Nivaria's enigmatic history.
