Auril

The Frostmaiden — goddess of winter's cruelty and the cold that kills without mercy.

Role in Campaign

Auril is the source of the Everlasting Rime — the supernatural and perpetual winter that has gripped Icewind Dale. The sun does not rise. The blizzards do not stop. The Ten-Towns have been slowly dying under the endless cold.

The party encountered her influence through the Stewards of Auril during Arc C.

The Everlasting Rime

A permanent magical winter cast over Icewind Dale. Auril maintains it actively — the Rime does not simply sustain itself, and ending it requires more than defeating her.

Active Threads

• The Everlasting Rime — still active over Icewind Dale; party has left the region but its existence is unresolved
• Stewards of Auril — party drew their attention during Arc C; status dormant while party is underground
