The draugr frostbringer carry the Black Winter with them wherever they go. They are the omen of dark days ahead. They can freeze those around them slowly, and raise frostbitten dead from the corpses of freshly slain. It is not unlikely to see draugrs band together with Hel's spring, as both creatures are servants of Hel. Yet, unlike other draugrs, draugr frostbringers do not conjoin with Hel's spring.
Those who observe the undead say that this is because they are rather the servants of Odd and not Hel. In any case, they share the promise of death with hordes of Helheim.
Black Winter's Cold
- The cold spreading from the Black Winter is an unnatural, harsher cold even for the north. In addition to the fact that it carries the effects of extreme cold, Black Winter's Cold cause the following effects:
- If you have resistance to cold, it drops to normal, and normal drops to vulnerability.
- When you are subjected to Black Winter’s Cold, you must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take one level of exhaustion immediately. Then you continue to take additional levels of exhaustion if you fail your saves at the end of each hour you spent within the cold.
- Even while wearing cold weather gear, you must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw at the end of each hour spent in this cold or take one level of exhaustion.
