Wizardry: The Five Ordeals - The Absence of Misericordia

It has been two years now, and the endless winter has not once relented, leaving many stranded in the settlement of Winternadir. The fur merchants come to the adventurers with a request...
The villagers often speak of a place of worship in the heart of a nearby valley. It was once home to "The Relic of Our Lady of Mercy", which was said to have kept the cold weather at bay. The relic is long since lost, and the valley has been abandoned. You must retrieve this relic, and return the region to its natural state.
