Long ago, the great city of Felstad sat at the center of a magical empire. Its towering spires, labyrinthine catacombs, and vast libraries were the wonders of the age, and potions, scrolls, and mystical items of all kinds flowed from its workshops. Then, one catastrophic evening, a mistake was made. In a high tower or dark chamber, a foolish wizard unleashed a magic too powerful to control. A storm arose, an epic blizzard that swallowed the entire city, burying it deeply and leaving the empire as nothing more than a vast, frozen wasteland. The empire shattered, and the world's magic disappeared. As centuries came and went, Felstad went from history to legend and then to myth. Only a few wizards, clinging to the last remnants of magical knowledge, still believed that the lost city had ever existed. But their faith was rewarded. After a thousand years, the fallen winter has passed. The snow has receded, and Felstad has been uncovered. Its buildings lie in ruins, overrun by undead creatures and magical constructs, the legacy of the empire's experiments. It is an evil, dangerous place. For the few hardy souls who live in the nearby villages, the city has been given a new name, 'Frostgrave', and it is avoided by all sensible people. For those seeking power and wealth, however, it is an unparalleled opportunity, a deadly labyrinth hiding secrets of long-forgotten knowledge.

In the midst of the frozen ruins of the old city of Felstad, wizards battle in hopes of discovering treasures from the fallen empire. In this fantasy skirmish miniature games, each player takes on the role of a wizard from one of ten magical schools and builds his warband of minions. The wizard's apprentice will usually accompany his master, and more than a dozen other types of minions can be hired, from humble hirelings to heavily armored knights and sneaky thieves. Wizards can expand their magical knowledge by unlocking ancient secrets and can learn up to 80 different spells. While individual games in Frostgrave are quick and can be played in an hour or two, it is by linking them into an ongoing campaign that players find the greatest experience. The scenarios in the rulebook are just the beginning of the unlimited adventures that can be found amidst the ruins of the frozen city, Felstad.
