Auril - Goddess of Cold and Winter

The Frostmaiden, Lady Frostkiss, Icedawn; Auril, the merciless goddess of cold and winter, is worshiped mostly in regions that are affected by deep winters or high mountains peaks that seldom see the bareness of rocks. Folk propitiate Auril with offerings and prayers for mercy from her cold, icy grasp. Her few priests warn others to prepare for winter, and to stock extra provisions in order to have some to spare as offerings to the goddess. Few favor Auril except for those who make their livelihood from winter or those who truly love the season. Her rare priests tend to be folk who would, but for their status, likely be outcasts from their communities.
One of the few temples dedicated to Auril, is the white-spired Winter Palace in the Free Marches of Kargenras. The structure is a roofless array of pillars and arches carved of white stone where rituals and holy days are observed, often under the cover of white out blizzards.
