Dragon 367 - Realmslore: Hall of the Frostmaiden

[Shroomy]

I didn't see any threads about this article, so I thought I'd start one. IMO, its both well written and very interesting even if you aren't a fan of the Realms. The winter hag is a nasty piece of work and I'm excited by several monsters (winter wolves, frost worms, etc.), races (avariels), and concepts (astraljamming, the Queen of Air and Darkness) being definitely introduced to 4e.

I have a frostburn/heroes of horror game so I was thrilled to see the winter hag.

Though for the life of me I can't understand why they combined the QoAaD with Auril when they were never the same being and had distinct and different histories.

I was hoping that these articles might also introduce customised powers for specific clerics (not just Channel Divinity).

I just like the fact that the goddess of evil fey is known as the Queen of Air and Darkness, which I find to be an especially evocative name. I'm in no way attached to past canon.
