Brástaath had mastery over ice and snow, with the ability to cause things to flash freeze and for temperatures to plummet. He could shape ice and snow at will, using it for both construction, defense, and offense. He was said to also be able to calm even some of the most furious foes with his presence alone.History

Brástaath was followed a vast variety of races beyond just dragons. Known for being able to be found near either pole, many monestaries were once set up on the edges of the inhospitable northern and southern shores for monks and devoutes of Brástaath. Followers of Brástaath were dedicated often to peace and peace-keeping, focusing on diplomacy and mediation in the world around them. They strove to minimize conflict and combat, and the best followers were known for being as calm and unshakeable as their deity.In the modern era since Brástaath's disappearence, his cult has greatly dwindled. Few of the monestaries still stand, but a few long-lived members who once studied under Brástaath remain to pass on his knowledge and teachings.

History
Brástaath and Deiahdrahl saw each other as mortal enemies, with domains that conflicted fiercly on every front. Deiahdrahl saw Brástaath as a weakling, and was considered the first on Deiahdrahl's list to slay when he grew strong enough. Brástaath simply avoided his more aggressive brother, hoping that Deiahdrahl would simply never reach the stage of trying to kill him.
Brástaath is still unsure if he'd prefer that Maholdymyndr had lost the battle with Deiahdrahl or not, but he feels no sympathy for his brother's death.
History
Brástaath and Droontastah were close companions, sharing many similar outlooks on the world and their followers. Though their beliefs differed, the two enjoyed philosophical debates and exchanging practices and experiences, and often encouraged their followers to spend time at the other's monesteries.
Brástaath was distraught at the inability to find Droontastah, and though he does not want to think of it, is the firmest in believing that Droontastah is, in fact, dead.
History
Brástaath isn't as close to Jodiirook as he was to Droontastah†, but the two are still friends. Jodiirook enjoys collecting stories from Brástaath, though is much less interested in the cultivation of his followers or in his beliefs as Droontastah might be. The two have a firm pact with each other in the looming possibility that Maholdymyndr killed Droontastah, in order to survive.
History
Brástaath and Maholdymyndr despites each other. Like Deiahdrahl†, Maholdymyndr finds Brástaath to be a weakling, and not at all a threat. Brástaath hates Maholdymyndr's aggressive, dominating personality, and though he does not wish for conflict Maholdymyndr's continued expansion has pushed Brástaath into considering offensive actions in order to survive.
