Auril

Auril (also known as the Frostmaiden, Icedawn and the Cold Goddess) is a fickle, vain and evil deity, who is primarily venerated out of fear. Sacrifices to the Frostmaiden are common, especially in the North, as people hope to appease her and thus avoid crippling cold winters. Her clergy is loosely organized, and the main goals of most followers is to intimidate common folk and make them venerate the Frostmaiden to avoid reprisals from her clergy, or to have them make donations to her church. Some of her powerful clerics can accumulate impressive personal wealth in this manner, some of which they sacrifice as offerings to Auril.

Relationships
Auril is one of the Deities of Fury, the others being Malar, Umberlee and their superior Talos the Storm Lord. Umberlee and Auril cooperate with some degree of confidence, while Malar and Auril despise each other. Much of Auril's power, and indeed that of all the other Deities of Fury has been absorbed by Talos in rescent times, weakening the minor deities, but Auril has quietly been siphoning power from the slumbering deity Ulutiu who is in stasis under the Great Glacier.

Kossuth and Auril are mortal enemies, but their followers seldomly come across each other. Sune opposes Auril, as she blames her for the destruction of much that is beautfiul. Uthgar hates Auril as she has turned the Elk tribe away from his worship.

Dogma
"Cover all the lands with ice. Quench fire wherever it is found. Let in the winds and the cold; cut down the windbreaks and chop holes in walls and roofs that my breath may come in. Work darkness to hide the cursed sun so that the chill the Auril brings may slay. Take the life of an arctic creature only in great need, but slay all others at will. Make all Faerûn fear the Frostmaiden. Revere the Cold Goddess and sing her praises into any chill breeze or winter wind. Do not raise your hand against any other cleric of Auril."
