Lore
As the Frost Spirit falls on the Frost Invasion Event, the Frost Dimension have remain dormant for a few months, his disciples decided to take the fight to their own hands, and started invading our world once again. Despite the death of their leader, they seem to be organized and strong.
The Frost Dimension was determined to find a new leader, but their vengeance, anger and fury, leaves their kind teared apart. Several executives, and leaders appointed by the now deceased Frost Spirit has gathered some of the leftover army that haven't disbanded from the rest of their kind or joined the rebellion.
They have now formed a new kingdom within the Frost Dimension, slowly one by one, the opposing teams and rebellions were shut down, as the might of the kingdom rises to the threat that is to come, after regaining the hold of the Frost Dimension, and have reunited the whole Dimension, they finally let their anger and vengeance out, by starting to reinvade our kind, the human race.
The former portal made by the our kind, located at Outpost 32 on the H̱̬͎̮͖͓̰͚͚̾̔̆̈̊́̚̕͠͞ͅǐ̡͔͇̣͉̲̩̆̃̐̆̐̆ṃ̳́̋͌̑͟͟ā̡̡̙̼̖͉̻̎̏̽͋͝͡͞ͅľ͇̖̳̗̕̕͡a̛͙̺̙̬̬͓͉̬̲̥͗̽̋͌̿̊̚̕͟͡͠ẏ̧̘͚̠̙̦͇̖͐̇̊̅͋͂̅͟͡a̡͉͇̟̟͍̫͕̩̯̋̾͛͂̋͘͘̚͠͞ņ̡͍̪̙̰͕͕͎͉̮̭̰͙͂̋͊͆̀̅̃̈́̈̔̿̉͗̑͟͡͞ͅ ͚̩͉̰̪̞̹̍͛̀͂̄́͐̃͢M̡̛̪̼͗̽̂͜ò̙̺͉͍̳͙̦̖̘͉̇̐͒́̿̆̒̀̈́ù̢͎̗̖̯͍̭̼͚͔͗̎̈̏̃̒̅͌̋́̑͟ͅṅ̥͔̞̥̎̓̚t̹̱͍̯̓͐͊͗a̧̛͙̳͍̮͔̠͈̺̲̖̹̒͋̾͛̇̃́̈́̓́̍̊̚̚͢͜͟i̧̫͔͎̣̹̓͋̓͌̅͘̚͟͜͞n̢̢͉͎̻̞̜͔̪̻̪̻̪̹̔̿̐͊͆͂̊̆̉͊̽̕͠͡s̯͈̣͔̞̤̺͐͗̿̎̀͂̊,̦̩͇͙̱͌͆̑̂͞ ̛̦̝̠̖̙͉͚̤͖͎̩̳̣͆̑̋̂̑̆́̔̈̒̕͘̚̚͢͜N̮̻͎̙͋̎̃̐̑ͅẻ̡̲̺͔̳̣͓̬̞̙̦̮͖͈̲̹̱͛̏̄̓̐̇͐̅͑̂̆̈̈̓͞͞p̣̤͕̳̥̺̘̱̜̤̳̬̑͐̀͂̇̋̌̆͘͘͜͠͡͝a̫̯͙͙̺͖̙͙͉͔̤͆́͊̾͐͂̋̒̆͊̚͜͞l̛͙͎̰̆̔̓͟.
Was abandoned due to anomalies, and the accessibility of the portal that was difficult, other problems include Logistics, and Electricity, the Outpost was abandoned several months after the first encounter with the Frozen (Outpost 32) Kind, the Frost Army took advantage of this, and reactivated the portal, making this their first point of advance on this world.
They started attacking areas previously invaded by other kinds such as the Molten and the Fallen, their use of tactics are especially unique as they use the weather to support their attack. It is unknown how the Frost Army managed to manipulate the weather, but it is speculated that they have used unknown amounts of spell and magic left by the Frost Spirit. Their ability to manipulate weather makes them a high threat as these weather changes can affect units and towers significantly.
Though these weather properties are quite odd as they use Winter Magic in places where it is impossible to fabricate snow, such as the Deserts. Research of this ability may require a need to invade the Frost Dimension, though the Frost Kind has started their invasion on us first.
Their structure of leadership only relies on past commanders and governors of the past, making every single decision made more hard as it is not a single man job, it is said that no one in the current Frost Kingdom should be sitting on the throne as no one is deemed good, or strong enough to lead the entire army and race forward. Leaders that engaged in battle are appointed commanders and lieutenants mainly Frost Heroes and Necromancers, Frost Heroes are fierce warriors that fought along with the Frost Spirit, though sadly, they did not die in vain as the Outpost was well defended. Now that they are striking sectors unnoticed and without warning, It became more apparent that these foes should not be underestimated.
These attacks on our sectors are desperate attempts to regain some territory and magic, as the death of the Frost Spirit weakened the kind of the Frost, any sector that is captured must be taken back as we cannot risk a chance of the Frost kind to reform their army and strengthen their grip on our world, they use their Winter Magic to fabricate snow and matter, to regain their magic and to rebuild more units within their army, its only a matter of time before they return with a stronger foe and menace.
Winter Magic cast by the Frost Necromancers are one of a kind, unseen even from the Void, Fallen, and or the Molten Kind, bringing a major threat to our defenses, the magic they use are especially dangerous in places where snow fabrication are common, in dark cold, winter sectors and areas we have, they manipulate the existing snow clouds, snow and ice to their advantage, and to defeat our defense on the more so cold sectors.
