The Frostmaiden
The Frostmaiden, also known as Auril, is the single most powerful force in Icewind Dale. It/She governs the Ten Towns from afar, and seems to establish dominion through fierce control of weather and endless night. Because of Auril, presumably, the nights in Icewind Dale are brighter than day, because of the Aurora that appears in the night sky.
The towns give sacrifice and appeasement to Auril in different ways:
Dougan's Hole nails some of their supply of trout to posts. Bremen refrains from campfires or fireplaces of any kind outside. Good Mead seems to have given people from their history of battle and Tempus worship . Easthaven runs a lottery on the populace to choose who is burned at the stake. Auril seems to be a detached entity whose motives are unknown but leaning malicious. She seems to be a parasitic entity on the land. A Winter Goddess, cold calculating unloving, who wants to keep the world still in a frozen panorama. Pamphlet describes the three proper ways to worship her: Giving food, giving warmth, giving people. Responsible for The Everlasting Rime in Icewind Dale for the past couple of months to two years.
