[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 5666761, member: 50895"] Wells here's an idea I planned to publish someday, but my current projects are taking up so much time it might be forever before I get to it. Working on an Iron Age Celtic theme, my winter goddess is the Caillech Bheur (kalyech var) or the Winter Hag. She seeks to create a series of events through dark rites and politics that brings back the Ice Age. By starting a war with the Fire Spirits of the neighboring volcanic island (Iceland analog) she hopes for ash to fill the sky and start a 'nuclear winter' effect. During the last Ice Age, my goddess was the chief deity of the northern hemisphere (at least its northern latitudes) which have since been dimished by the change of climate. Her goal, of course, is to bring back the Ice Age and regain her rightful spot as head deity of the frozen north. Being a Hag deity, she has infuence over the hags, ogres, (no orcs in my setting) and other powerful warlike goblinoids and giants. These are her troops. She has great arcane/fey powers with PF Witch power... It's an epic concept - something for a group of heroes to adventure to stop this from happening... might work for your campaign (slightly tweaked). [/QUOTE]
