It appeared in the "Special" tab of the quest menus, and was available alongside the Main Story, instead of replacing it. This questline could not be repeated, and once completed would simply disappear.

  • The ability to lower the difficulty of the story was added along with The Vernal Invader.
  • The Fulminations in the Frost quest line was available alongside the Pre-Season Story and was considered an Event Quest, while The Vernal Invader quest line replaced the Pre-Season Story after the first completion of the latter.
