Description
Brother Temperance is the current name being used by an ancient Netherese Archmage, a Firbolg known as Father Lymak. For nearly 500 years, Lymak served the flying city of Ythryn and it's ruler, the Arch-lich Iriolarthas and dedicated his life to the furthering and betterment of the life in the city he loved so dearly. Towards the end of his natural life, Lymak was bestowed with a gift given to a rare few Netherese: eternal life through lichdom, so that he may continue his work as long as he desired. When Ythryn was struck from the sky thousands of years ago, over what is now known as Icewind Dale, Lymak found himself one of the unlucky few survivors of the crash.
Auril, the Frostmaiden, in her greed coveted Ythryn and the secrets it held, and made quick work of reshaping massive the Reghed Glacier around the city, damning those who did survive to an icy tomb. His body destroyed, and his phylactery lost to the rubble of his broken city, Lymak festered. Bound to the city, his mind and soul began to rot away and as centuries passed, his spirit broke. Auril would visit the city every once in a few hundred years to swim in the beauty of her prized possession, this city out of time. She began digging into the secrets of the dead Netherese mages and using their artefacts, began extending her power in an effort to secure the material plane as her own domain. It was on one of these visits that Auril came across the broken spirit of Lymak, and saw what he had endured, the cruelty and injustices he had been on the receiving end of, and the two struck a deal. Auril would restore his body and mind, and help him restore the beauty of what had been taken from him. In return, Lymak would take on a new life and mantle, and would minister a new sect of Aurilites, The Children of Winter.
