Editing Chrip (section)

===The Emperor of Winter===
Chrip returned to the Feywild, with Kitsu coming along as his advisor. As he had offered, he lay the Prince of Frost's body beside the Queen of Winter. However, after a rebel attempted to steal the bodies, Chrip had them cremated and their ashes scattered across his domain. As he did not care for the dreary and imposing Fortress of Frozen Tears, he instead oversaw the construction of a new palace within the Winter Wood. One of his first actions was to resume relations with the Summer Court, promising that under his rule the Winter Court would come to be known as a place of fun and frivolity rather than the realm of despair and bitterness that it had been under the Prince of Frost. While he was largely successful in this endeavor, not all of the Winter Court were happy with this new direction. Three years later, eladrin loyal to the Prince of Frost took over the Vale of the Long Night and reclaimed the Fortress of Frozen Tears. Led by an enigmatic figure known as the Pale King, they called themselves the Night Court and swore to oppose Chrip's rule.

Thus far Chrip has succeeded in defending his lands from the Night Court, but he wonders how long before they launch a serious invasion. Fortunately, Chrip knows he can count on the Summer Queen to come to his aid.
