Several years ago, a mysterious island named Starbeak was discovered. After explorers began visiting it regularly, the island enjoyed years of calm, sunny weather. Aside from its perpetually snow-capped highlands, most regions of Starbeak enjoyed clear skies and warm sunshine, leading many to believe that it possessed its own unique, mild climate. However, five years after the first expedition landed on Starbeak, a sudden blizzard struck the island. At first dismissed as a passing anomaly, as the cold lingered for months, people began to uncover the truth: Starbeak follows a peculiar weather cycle, alternating between mild years and harsh winter years. With the arrival of this prolonged winter, strange and wondrous phenomena began to emerge all across the island. A new species of creatures known as Spirits appeared, visible only during the winter. The ever-shifting climate drastically transformed the island’s terrain and ecosystem, turning exploration into an increasingly unpredictable and challenging endeavor.
