The Fortress of Ice
Those who try to reach the peaks of the Cloudscrape Crags never return. Such bitter truth echoes down to the denizens of the frozen lands as words of the Icewarden himself.
But what lies hidden amongst the clouds in the mountaintops is only known to those poor, brave, unfortunate souls who dare venture there.

This is a Nuzlocke style story set in the Southern Icefield. It will run in a similar vein to a Pinkerlocke, but instead of relying on drops from Pinkerton, what happens each day will instead be determined by RNG rolls.
Rules
Every day I use an online number generator to get a number between 1-150. The number I get determines what happens in the Nuzlocke.
1-25: Death Streak
I flip a coin. On heads, nothing happens. On tails, I must roll a 6-sided dice for every dragon in the Nuzlocke. If anyone rolls a 1, they die and must be exalted. Nesting dragons are exempt from this.
26-50: Coliseum
I must spend the day in the Coliseum, completing a minimum of 10 battles in a venue of my choice. The fighters are chosen by RNG. If a fighter is defeated, I must roll a 6-sided die. If they roll 1-3, they die, if they roll 4-6, they survive but will be injured for the next 5 days.
Injured dragons are susceptible to death on rolls of 1-3 on a Death Streak day, and will die if they are defeated in Coli a second time.
51-100: Lore
I must write a lore entry for the Nuzlocke.
101-125: Art
I must either draw or buy art for the Nuzlocke.
126-150: New Dragon/Breeding
First, I roll a 6-sided die.
On a roll of 1-3
I must go to the AH and buy the cheapest dragon of a randomly selected breed. I can vary this up between buying adults and hatchlings.
The breed rolls are as follows:
1. Bogsneak
2. Coatl
3. Tundra
4. Ridgeback
5. Fae
6. Wildclaw
7. Spiral
8. Guardian
9. Pearlcatcher
10. Mirror
11. Imperial
12. Nocturne
13. Skydancer
14. Snapper
15. Obelisk
16. Veilspun
17. Aether
18. Undertide
19. Aberration
20. Sandsurge
21. Aurabora
22. Banescale
23. Gaoler
On a roll of 4-6
I can breed two eligible dragons from the Nuzlocke. Once the nest hatches, I flip a coin. On heads the hatchling survives, on tails they die and must be exalted. If no dragons are eligible for breeding or it won't make sense lore-wise, I can choose to buy a hatchling off the AH instead, or do something else.
Other things to keep in mind:
- Familiars will be only given to the dragons from the loot they've won in the Coliseum, but apparel and skins will be applied as I see fit.
- I might do lore entries even if I roll something other than a lore number.
- Site-compliant violence and similar will be featured, as well as death, as you'd expect. Most posts will contain warnings about the specific content they feature.
