Her relationship with Talos was said to be close and cordial, but this was no obstacle from his attempt to usurp her following and she preferred not to rely on him due to his habit of responding but then directing all glory to himself. In earlier centuries, Auril was a member of the Deities of Fury, along with Malar, Umberlee, and Talos, and used their combined destructive powers to inspired much reverent fear and tribute. ĭuring the Spellplague, Auril's realm was located within the Astral Dominion of the Deep Wilds and was known as the Land Under Eternal Ice. Norse god Loki also made Winter's Hall his abode, a place to hide away whenever he fell out of grace with the other Aesir. Divine Realm Īuril had a divine realm called Winter's Hall in Pandesmos, the topmost layer of Pandemonium in the Great Wheel cosmology. She trapped offenders in blizzards and drove them insane with visions of warmth and the comforts of home, ultimately seeking to kill them with the sheer, bitter cold. She was incapable of mercy or compassion, a sadist that took great pleasure in torturing her enemies and harassing her foes. ĭespite being capricious, fickle and unpredictable, Auril was also supremely cold, unfeeling and apathetic. Her ultimate goal was to cover the Realms and all other lands beneath her ice and snow. From natural wonders, to art objects, to the artists themselves, the Frostmaiden froze them all in magical ice, preserving them from the ravages of time and hoarding them away for her viewing pleasure alone. Personality Īrrogant and vain, Auril was incapable of true feelings of love, honor, or other noble emotions, yet adored her ice and all forms of beauty. Hovering in the air, the diamond contained her divine spark and radiated intense cold in every direction, her voice seeming to emanate from its heart. It was a 3 feet (0.91 meters) in diameter diamond of ice with facets and a sharp point at the bottom. Īuril's third form was called Winter's Womb (or the Queen of Frozen Tears by her most devoted). Made entirely of ice and frost, her body crackled while she moved, with icy blades growing from her form at odd angles and breaking off after growing too long. Īuril's second form was the Brittle Maiden or Lady Icekiss, a 10 feet (3 meters) tall figure of fearsome feminine aspect with a thin cloak of mist surrounding her and eyes that burned with a cold, blue light. She had cloven hooves, arms ending in sharp, black talones, and grayish-white wolf fur covering her from the neck down. In the late 15 th century, Auril had another three new avatars the Cold Crone appeared as a 7 feet (2.1 meters) tall, hunched bipedal creature with a snowy owl's head topped by a pair of curled ram's horns. The Icedawn wore an ornate crown and hooked, spurred armor of opaque and light blue ice. Īuril's other form was the Icedawn, an impassive apparition of icy hauteur that silently glided through the air. She wore a fine, thickly furred gown and frost swirled around her. The Frostmaiden appeared as a lithe, attractive human woman with blue skin and a body made from ice and snow, her free-flowing hair long and white. The first was a furious figure of action known as The Frostmaiden, the most frequently seen avatar in all but south and east Faerun. Īuril was known to take several distinct forms. However, after the Sundering the Queen of Air and Darkness was seen to be only impersonating Auril in order to retain followers on Toril. The Frost Sprite Queen was additionally seen as being synonymous with the Queen of Air and Darkness by some communities of fey, such as those of the Shiverpine Forest in the Deep Wilds. As Talos, leader of the Gods of Fury, eroded her power over snow storms, The Cold Goddess made her season even more frigid to remind the people in the north who controlled the cold. ![]() ![]() The embodiment of winter's cruelty and all its deadliest aspects, Lady Frostkiss had a heart of ice to match her lethally cold beauty, eternally preserved beneath a sheet of rime. An icy breath with a cold, ruthless chuckleĪ blue-white aura leaving a trail of frostĪ blank-eyed face of frost with hair emitting cold Auril ( pronounced: /ˈ ɔː r ɪ l/ AW-rill listen), called Saukuruk by her few worshipers among the Iulutiuns of the Great Glacier, was the neutral evil goddess of winter and cold in the Faerûnian pantheon. ![]()
