York, England. December 22, 1995. The German Christmas market on Parliament Street is a corridor of light, music, and festive cheer... until the ringing of an ancient, meteoric iron bell shatters the holiday peace. Join us for our final stream of 2025 as we dive into a world of cosmic horror where the snow doesn't just fall, it listens. When a demonstration of Alpine folklore goes horribly wrong, a group of local Northerners must confront a terrifying truth: the "horned one" from the old stories isn't a myth, he's a boundary. And that boundary has just been broken.

In the final Campaign 2 episode of 2025, the Planer Detective Agency prepares to dive into the heart of the storm. Having secured an audience with the legendary Wind Dukes in the marble city of Aaqa, the party must now navigate the treacherous Labyrinth Winds to find the Elemental Tempest itself. Floating on unpredictable air currents, the group’s journey leads them past the blinding beauty of the Borealis Radiance, a shifting prismatic sun that hides more than just light. But as shimmering motes of energy begin to lash out from the radiance, the party realizes that reaching the Eye of the Storm is only half the battle. Waiting within the central eye is a truth Lex Ordo has been pulled toward all along: the final piece of the Eclipse Codex. Yet, as a fallen Vaati emerges from the chaos with a dire warning, the party must face a sobering reality: binding the World Terror comes at a personal cost, one that some may not be willing to pay.
