Snowblind Fractal
Brave the cold and face off against the Legendary Shaman Lornarr Dragonseeker
Face the elements in this Fractal, as you battle to keep the fire going to provide warmth for you and your allies. Clear the isolated village of the cause for the blizzard and fight your way through the dark to find Shaman Lornarr Dragonseeker
Entrance / Bonfire
When you spawn in you will be beside a bonfire, but once you leave the perimeter of the bonfire you will notice a few special mechanics
Warmth
Immune to Hypothermia
You gain this effect whenever you are close to a bonfire
Hypothermia
Deals damage unless a heat source is found - stacks
This debuff stacks over time while Ice Elemental is alive, and will only be cleansed when you get close to a bonfire
You will have a Special Action Key (SAK) skill called Ignite this will be used to light bonfires, it can also hit enemies and do a small amount of damage and provide burning. Approach the unlit bonfire and use your SAK to light it, you will need to keep this burning to melt the ice wall blocking your progression, once you do enemies will start coming from around the outside.
Sons of Svanir and wolves will spawn to try and kill you, and Ice Elementals will spawn to try to put out your fire, keep them away from the bonfire.
You will also see firewood appear around the area, grab this to throw onto your fire to keep it burning. Once the progress bar fills the wall will melt and the enemies will despawn
Elemental Source
In the next room past the bridge you will run into a blizzard caused by the Elemental Source, which is in the middle of the area surrounded by five bonfires. Your safest choice is to light the bonfires around it to keep up stacks of Warmth and remove the Rime Shield on the boss. The Elemental Source will have two stacks of Rime Shield per unlit bonfire, this reduces damage it takes by 10%
It will send our projectiles the whole fight, and at 75%/50%/25% the Elemental Source will send out projectile AoEs towards the bonfires that does 50% of the bonfires remaining health, you can use reflects to prevent the bonfires from taking damage, you can also replenish this with the firewood located in the huts by the bonfires themselves.
If all fires go out the Elemental Source will have a large blizzard spawn and deal more damage, light at least 1 bonfire to stop this. Sons of Svanir will also be spawned to attack you while you work on the stationary Elemetal Source.

Legendary Shaman Lornarr Dragonseeker
The Legendary Shaman Lornarr Dragonseeker has two forms, his melee form and his ranged form where you cant attack him.
Melee Form - When he is within Melee range he will summon three Corrupted Ice Crystals that will grant him Rime Shield, these can be dispelled by destroying the Ice Crystals (they respawn everytime he re-enters into his melee form). His auto attack in this form is a greatsword cleave and can apply Hypothermia. He will also send out a ring of ice shards around himself, and do a icy cone AoE that gives the player a stacking debuff.
Ranged Form - At 75% and 50%, he will teleport out of range to the ledge above, and begin raining AoE ice spikes in the arena. Multiple adds will spawn including Elite Icebrood Effigy, which you will need to kill to make him come back down so you can damage him again When he comes back down he will respawn the Corrupted Ice Crystals and spawn some more adds.
Bear Form - When he gets down to 25% he will use a skill called Become the Bear and stay in this form until you kill him. It will give gim more damage, and the leap abilities which causes knockdown.
