The Lady of Winter
The Wrath of Winter
Beneath the ever-present clouds and buried within the snow-covered mountains of the Anwar-Dai is the entrance to an ancient, crumbling mountainside palace. Despite everything being crumbling, frozen, and dusted with snow – no trace of warmth in sight – there is a peculiar softness that lurks beneath it all. Rooms carefully arranged to mimic a home, with empty picture frames hanging... waiting to hold a memory. Here, the heart of the blizzard resides. Known as the Wrath of Winter to those who fear her and the Lady of Winter to those who respect her, she is a being of deep, icy, penetrating and unavoidable cold. She commands the swirling snow and the howling winds, isolated and cut off from all sources of warmth. Yet, despite her nature, she tries – desperately – to act like a doting, caring mother with warmth to give, forever hindered by a scattered mind and forever shackled by the cold that pervades her touch and home. Alone, in the large empty halls, the Lady of Winter sings a haunting lullaby. She sings of the sun's warmth, of the wind as she flew, and of a family she had... almost as if recalling it from her own distant, hollow memory.
Associated Spirit: Elis, the Avian Huntress.

Tenets of Faith
Icy Reflection – Under the sun, the frozen ice melts, but in the bitter cold, the ice glitters and shines. In its sheer surface, do you have the courage to face the reflection you might find there? For the ice is a pure and clear surface that reflects with clarity. It isolates the innermost parts of yourself and displays them prominently. Is it you staring at the ice? Or are you trapped in the ice staring back out at the world?
Divine Goals & Aspirations
After millenia of isolation, the Lady of Winter is on a path of recovery. Encouraged by Telvon, a young aarakocra who fled into her domain, the Lady of Winter is slowly beginning to heal her fractured mind. However, do the rules permit such healing and recovery? Or is she destined to only break and shatter like the ice she is familiar with?
