Minecraft Dungeons:Lone Fortress

"Deep within the lone fortress a wraith, distorted by the shard's influence, is the source of the creeping winter. The shard must be destroyed before this Wicked Wraith can turn the world to nothing but ice and snow."

- In-game voiceover

The Lone Fortress is an area in Minecraft Dungeons in the DLC Creeping Winter. It is unlocked after the player completes Frosted Fjord.

Story
The Lone Fortress is the place where the shard of the Orb of Dominance is located, however, a Local Wraith picked up the shard, turning into the Wretched Wraith but the heroes have defeated the Wretched Wraith and stopped the Creeping Winter.

Appearance
As its name implies, the Lone Fortress is a large, frostbitten castle located near the center of the island. The castle seems to be in a severe state of ruin on the outside and inside, but still managed to survive the cold winds to be used by the local illagers for training and normal lives. Outside the castle, frozen ponds can be seen with some lilypads even stuck on the ice. Within the castle, a small library can be seen as well as various winding paths and even a kitchen and a buffet room filled with Vindicator Chefs. Various doors can be seen blocking the winding hallways, which all lead to a large indoor garden and room and a Grand Chamber where the Wretched Wraith can be fought above a frozen arena which rises from the bottomless pit. Near the exit, a dragon statue can be seen, and two paintings as well within the hallways, depicting the Arch-Illager with the words weak and foe vandalized upon it.
