Many centuries past, the demon-god Althunak came to the North. Legend has it that he had ruled a vast empire around the Southern Pole of the world, and fell to the combined force of heroes and gods. Into the North he crept, and established a new home for his cult in the Far North where he created an icy waste and eventually forged a new empire based on his unholy Liturgy of Icy Death and Way of Hunger. He hoped to use this new base of power to cover the world in ice and snow. Fortunately, this did not happen, again due to the actions of mighty heroes — this time of the Ulnat themselves. They marched in all their might upon his unholy capital and overthrew the demon lord, constraining his living corpse at the bottom of the Lake of Frozen Screams. Still, the cult lingered on, and six generations ago a group of Northlanders led by a prophet of Donar traveled north to the City of the Lord of Winter and slew the last surviving members of the cult, as well as the avatar of Althunak. Even this did not end the threat to the Northlands, for Althunak threatens to rise again to bring icy death to the world.
