[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 5666887, member: 1231"] If it were me I think I would attempt to play up the faerie aspects of Auril. She is the fabled Queen of Air and Darkness, after all! She should be capricious and to some degree inscrutable. As for goals, well, one theme that could be pursued in more immediately ways is that of " landscaping " . Ice ages do not just the status quo + frosty bits, they are glacial movements and effects; their coming changes the shape of the world. Perhaps Auril likes remodelling even in areas which are not covered in permanent Winter. She may also take pleasure in disturbing creatures and animals that hibernate or otherwise take some kind of special shelter in the Winter, as she finds it insulting that they think to be able to ignore her. Perhaps her servants hunt migratory animals in the warmer seasons. Perhaps she even has creatures under her domain that dwell in the cold upper reaches of the atmosphere and can strike downwards into the warmer climates for short durations. Maybe Auril seeks to exert greater influence over comets, which she could use to strike devestating blows on the planet. They are essentially ice, after all. Just remember the faerie aspects. They can bring the spice to whatever you have her doing... [/QUOTE]
