Deadman Season Finale

In the frozen wastelands to the north of Great Kourend lies the Wintertodt. Over a thousand years ago the Wintertodt laid siege to Great Kourend and terrorised the city for 50 years before Dinh, the master smith of Lovakengj house forged the great doors to keep Wintertodt at bay within it's prison to the north.A special group of Arceuus mages, the Pyromancers, have prepared for the second coming of the Wintertodt since it first threatened Kourend. The Pyromancers are a religious group who worship fire in an almost scary way and are not overly trusted by many other Arceuus mages. However, only they know the spells required to hold the Wintertodt back. While their magical prowess is untouchable, their skills in other areas are limited.Hone your firemaking skills and aid the Pyromancer's in holding back the Wintertodt in OldSchool's first skilling boss!
