The Gift Bringer and the Bullfrog

Archmagus Alatar once carried the mantle of Gift Bringer, as part of the Seven Red Wizards. He holds The Salamander’s Tongue, a powerful Fire Spell, which he uses to forge The Winter Flame.

The Winter Flame

• Portable fire bundle that burns bright even through the long dark nights of the North
• Once ignited it can only be extinguished by Red Wizards, Ember Frogs, and The 168
• Only 168 Wizards have ever mastered forging this dangerous Fire Spell

Each year, as Gift Bringer, Alatar would fill a giant sack with The Winter Fire and bring it to nomadic families across the icy desolate tundra. Alatar’s bag was heavy and dangerous.

To speed his travel, he cast the Rune of Air upon a Swamp Bullfrog, giving it the ability to leap high into the sky with boundless strength.

He then reined the Bullfrog to an ancient wooden sleigh; filled it full of Winter Flame, toys, and food; and with a leap, the heavy glowing sleigh full of life-saving gifts rose into the darkness.

A beacon of hope, shining through the night.
