Overview
Auril, iss the neutral evil goddess of winter and 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.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.
Description:
Auril was known to take several distinct forms. The first was a furious figure of action known as The Frostmaiden, the most frequently seen avatar in all but south and east Faerun. 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. She wore a fine, thickly furred gown and frost swirled around her.
Auril's other form was the Icedawn, an impassive apparition of ciy hauteur that silently glided through the air. The Icedawn wore an ornate crown and hooked, spurred armor of opaque and light blue ice.
Auril has 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. She had cloven hooves, arms ending in sharp, black talones, and grayish-white wolf fur covering her from the neck down.
Auril'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. Made entirely of ice and frost, her body crackled while she moved, with icy blades growing from her form at odd angles an breaking off after growing too long.
Auril's third form was called Winter's Womb (or the Queen of Frozen Tears by her most devoted). It was a 3 feet (0.91 meters) in diameter diamond of ice with facets and a sharp point at the bottom. 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.
Personality:
Arrogant and vain, Auril was incapable of true feelings of love, honor, or other noble emotions, yet adored her ice and all forms of beauty. 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.[1] Her ultimate goal was to cover the Realms and all other lands beneath her ice and snow.
Despite being capricious, fickle and unpredictable, Auril was also supremely cold, unfeeling and apathetic. She was incapable of mercy or compassion, a sadist that took great pleasure in torturing her enemies and harassing her foes. 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.
