The North Pole is a magical realm where the spirit of Christmas fills the air. Enchanted forests, majestic ice castles, and cozy, lantern-lit villages create a world of wonder and joy. Governed by Santa Claus, a figure of immense power and benevolence, his true nature is the subject of much debate among the inhabitants. While many elves believe him to be a powerful fey, others whisper that he might very well be a deity, his ancient origins shrouded in mystery.
In "Yuletide Legends: Adventures from the North Pole," players embody inhabitants or visitors of the North Pole.

The game is designed to evoke feelings of wonder, joy, and camaraderie. It encourages creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork, as players navigate challenges and celebrate their triumphs. Every snowflake may hold a secret, and every hearthfire invites a story, offering endless opportunities for adventure and magic.
Krampus is the dark herald of winter, a being born from humanity's envy and resentment. His towering, horned figure looms in the coldest nights, seeking those he deems 'naughty' to devour. Despite his fearsome nature, a cult devoted to him rounds up victims in his name, indifferent to their innocence or guilt. This group, driven by despair and envy, aims to extinguish joy wherever they find it.
Scrooge, another dark entity, embodies greed and cold-heartedness. He twists minds with craven desires, turning individuals against one another in pursuit of wealth and luxury. Like Krampus, he has followers who emulate his greed, hoarding wealth and indulging in lavishness at the expense of others.
Krampus and Scrooge, despite their mutual hatred, sometimes collaborate for mutual benefit, often seen plotting to undermine the joyous spirit of Christmas. Their cults, though inherently opposed and eager to destroy each other, are occasionally forced to cooperate by their dark patrons. Yet, during these alliances, each side seeks to outmaneuver the other, reflecting the eternal struggle for dominance between their respective evil gods.
