The Tangled Ghost
After her death, her tower was abandoned—but villagers say golden threads kept spilling from the windows, glowing faintly in moonlight.

Each reflection shimmered with what the viewer secretly desired. When one historian stared too long, she saw her face fade and another—smiling, younger—take her place. The artifact was sealed again, labeled simply: Do Not Look.

The Clockmaker of Arendelle
After Elsa’s reign began, Arendelle’s royal clock tower started to move on its own—marking hours that no one lived through. Its maker, a humble craftsman named Elior, confessed that he built it to “measure the moments between heartbeats.” He died days later, the clock still ticking—but backward. Today, locals say if you stand beneath it at midnight, you’ll hear it whisper: “You are running out of time.”
