  <div style="max-width: 1400px; margin: 0 auto;">
    <h2 style="text-align: center; font-size: 3.5rem; margin-bottom: 50px; color: #e8f4f8; font-weight: 800;">The Origin Story</h2>
    
    <p style="font-size: 1.35rem; color: #a8dadc; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 40px; text-align: center;">In February 2026, three people came together with a simple question:</p>
    
    <p style="font-size: 1.8rem; color: #4ecdc4; text-align: center; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 50px; font-weight: 600;">"What if we built something that outlives us?"</p>
    
    <p style="font-size: 1.35rem; color: #e8f4f8; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 30px;"><span style="color: #4ecdc4; font-weight: 700;">The Wizard</span> brought the frost — technical precision, infrastructure that doesn't break, and systems built to last decades.</p>
    
    <p style="font-size: 1.35rem; color: #e8f4f8; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 30px;"><span style="color: #ff6b35; font-weight: 700;">The Emissary</span> brought the fire — passion for community, belief in the power of connection, and the conviction that gaming spaces should feel like home.</p>
    
    <p style="font-size: 1.35rem; color: #e8f4f8; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 50px;"><span style="color: #A855F7; font-weight: 700;">The Catalyst</span> brought the arcane storm — creative vision, building expertise, and the transformative energy that turns dreams into reality.</p>
    
    <p style="font-size: 1.35rem; color: #a8dadc; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 40px;">Together, they founded Firefrost Gaming on a principle that sounds crazy in 2026:</p>
    
    <p style="font-size: 2rem; color: #FFD700; text-align: center; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 50px;">"We're building this for children not yet born."</p>
    
    <p style="font-size: 1.35rem; color: #e8f4f8; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 30px;">Not for quarterly profits. Not for investor returns. Not to flip and sell.</p>
    
    <p style="font-size: 1.35rem; color: #e8f4f8; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 50px;"><strong style="color: #4ecdc4; font-size: 1.4rem;">For legacy.</strong> For a community that will outlive us, documented so well that future generations can continue the work. Every server. Every player. Every moment preserved.</p>
