"A world of ice and fire" is an easy thing to put on a banner. In Kworgale it is something more exact: two opposed answers to the same question — what do you do with a world that is breaking?
The frost answer belongs to Glacya, the Frost Queen — immortal for over a thousand years, cryomancy so deep it can still time itself. Her instinct is preservation. Hold what remains. Let nothing else be lost. From her crystalline palace she rules not by conquest but by refusal — the refusal to let the world melt away. It is a cold mercy, but it is mercy.
The fire answer is louder, and it speaks in more than one voice. There is Salyria's Creation Fire, which heals and renews — fire as a second chance. And there is the fire of the Infernate and the Legion of Ash, carried by Rysalia — fire as conquest, as devotion, as the will to burn the old world down and rule what's left.
Then there is Merynia, whose fractured blue Radiance is neither ice nor flame but the one thing that can stand against demon fire. She is the exception the whole saga turns on — a light that should not exist, refusing to go out.
You can watch the collision yourself. The Frost Queen vs the Radiant Queen sets Glacya's cold against Merynia's light; Flamekeeper's Oath sets Salyria against Rysalia across a widening gulf. Same world, opposite convictions — and no easy side to take.
That's the heart of it. Not fire or frost as decoration, but as a real argument about how to save something that's already burning. Take the quiz and find out which side of it you fall on.
