Chillbringer

Chillbringers were specialty priests of the Church of Auril devoted to the Frostmaiden.

Activities
These individuals spent their time focused on tasks related to winter and cold, ranging from conjuring harsh winter storms purely for Auril's glory, or guiding a group of adventurers through a bitter cold forest.

Culture
Most chillbringers were quite reclusive. Their personalities were similar to snow—either representing something fun to play in, or something cold and life-threatening. Chillbringers could be emotionless individuals, stirred to emotion only when a storm was summoned.

Abilities
All chillbringers were expert guides in arctic lands. Chillbringers could summon snow storms provided the ambient temperature was below. The storm lasted for 1–12 hours and the snowfall was several inches per hour depending on the skill of the chillbringer. The winds of these storms prevented animals and creatures from flying, as well as the use of ranged weapons. All priests of Auril were immune to these effects.

A chillbringer could not turn undead like other priests. Given their close ties to the climate of the north, it was impossible for anyone born south of Neverwinter to become a chillbringer. A chillbringer traveling south of Neverwinter would lose all of their granted powers. These individuals were not allowed to use any spells or magic items that involved heat or fire.

Possessions
Chillbringers donned long white robes in favor of armor. These robes were cinched with a belt and wrist bracers made from real ice. These icy adornments were created during the Feast of the Moon and lasted until Greengrass. Only ice taken from the Great Glacier and crafted by a high-ranking clergy would be used in their creation. These bracers functioned like a magic item that bestowed protection and functioned like a ring of warmth for the chillbringer.

Most chillbringers wielded an ice dagger or handaxe in combat. A chillbringer's ice dagger caused additional cold damage to their enemies.

Relationships
Most "right-thinking" folk were scared of chillbringers.
