Frostbearer is a craftable weapon that was introduced in version 1.2 as part of the Dragonspine Update. Part of the Frost Burial Series, this weapon shares the category alongside Snow-Tombed Starsilver and Dragonspine Spear. This weapon has average Base ATK and the secondary stat provides ATK as well as deal aoe Physical DMG thanks to its passive, which makes this an incredible choice for potential Cryo Catalyst users.
The Princess of Vindagnyr was born under the Frostbearing tree. She had the ability to paint the future and was celebrated by the people. However, the skyfrost nail fell on Dragonspine, freezing it henceforth and taking the lives of almost everyone who resided there including the tree. The Traveler then revived the tree and gave it life by pouring crimson essence on it, setting it free once again. The tree remembered the princess, who desperately tried to save it, and gifted this catalyst to the Traveler as a reward.

Story
When the daughter of the priestess of Vindagnyr was born beneath this white tree,
The kingdom in the verdant mountain was filled with joy when she received her blessing.
Surely, the blessing of Sal Vindagnyr would be everlasting,
Just as the undying silver-white tree whose roots pierced the earth.
That was the hope of those who wrote the annals of that mountain kingdom.
Those who had recorded the tales of countless people and events believed this in their hearts,
That the beauty and skill of their princess would be as eternal and pure as the moonlight.
When the nail that froze the world descended suddenly,
And that tree, too, would be shattered by it,
That girl took the most complete branch,
Thinking to breathe new life into the tree that once overshadowed a nation.
But in the end, the grafted life could not flourish.
The cutting snowstorm eventually covered the moonlight like a curtain of countless blades...
A long, long time later, yet still long ago —
When the deathmatch between the dragons of darkness and wind was decided at last,
When corrosive blood stained the ashen valley red,
The tree, at last, remembered that it had not died with that entombed city,
And it extended its greedy roots towards the warm ichor that irrigated the land.
Because a certain someone poured out a crimson essence upon it,
The tree that should have long died remembered its past,
And bore a single fruit from the coalescence of all its might...
Here, for those who dwelt in my safe shadow, for the priests who eulogized me,
For that lovely maiden who oft painted upon my form,
For all the happiness they could not possess — I enjoin them all into this crimson, icy fruit.
To the one who can render recompense upon this poisonous world shall it go,
And may they carry my innocent, bitter fruit as they enact justice.
