Auril the Frostmaiden

Character from Icewind Dale by R.A. Salvatore / Wizards of the Coast / Black Isle Studios

Lesser goddess of winter who imprisoned Icewind Dale in eternal night — a deity who demands worship through suffering because she has forgotten any other kind of love.

Also known as: Auril, The Frostmaiden, The Cold Goddess, Lady Frostkiss, Icedawn

What They Know

• Maintains the Everlasting Rime through nightly rituals — her power is not infinite and the spell costs her, which is why she's weaker than other deities.
• Her island fortress Grimskalle contains tests of cruelty, endurance, isolation, and preservation — each reflecting an aspect of her fractured psyche.
• The Codicil of White contains the incantation to end the Everlasting Rime — she has hidden it but cannot destroy it due to divine law.
• Knows the location of Ythryn, the buried Netherese city, and fears its magic could be turned against her.
• She has been abandoned by her divine allies Talos, Umberlee, and Malar — and her isolation feeds her desperate grip on Icewind Dale.
• Her three forms represent escalating power but also escalating inhumanity — each transformation costs her more of what was once a personality.
