Temporal Anomaly: A bleak Christmas vision has overtaken this location, reshaping it into Santa’s Machine Shop. A relentless factory of fear, operated by a legion of undead elves. The only thing worse than the look in their cold dead eyes, is the looming threat of what will happen when Santa comes to town.
A word of caution to anyone considering a visit to the Machine Shop: The Queen has forbidden me from entering, so what I share comes from secondhand reports and whispered rumors.
What was once a beacon of technological innovation has been corrupted by a sinister entity known as the Machine. It has transformed this industrial factory into a sentient labyrinth, demanding servitude and sacrifice from all who enter.
The Machine views humans as resources, raw materials for its ever-expanding assembly lines. The workforce inside are no longer individuals; they now function as a hive mind, parts of a greater whole, an extension of the Machine’s malignant will. Their sole purpose is to accumulate new components to feed the Machine’s insatiable hunger.
Speculation surrounds what the Machine Shop actually produces, but one thing is clear: business is booming.
A spectral being calling himself Frost has recently appeared at Halloween Nights. No one seems to have a clue about where he came from or what his intentions are, but he keeps mumbling something about the Spring Queen. His chilling aura and wraithlike appearance hint at a possible connection to Santa's Machine Shop.
