Warlock; The Frostmaiden

Not all chosen of the gods become clerics, some become something else. Whilst a cleric is gifted with divine magic in return for prayer and worship, some gods seek to further their influence on the realms by granting power on the condition of future worship, servitude or completion of holy missions.

One such deity to have warlocks of this nature is Auril, the Frostmaiden, the godess of winter. The frostmaiden is considered evil by some due to her desire to extend the domain of winter at the detriment of the other seasons. But in truth, the Frostmaiden is a force of a nature and is no more evil than a violent storm. The main tennants of the frostmaiden is that the warm and comfort is tempoary and will always give way to the cold truth of winter. With limited worship outside of specifc artic areas of the world, the frostmaiden creates pacts and grants gifts to mortals to give the gift of cold on her behalf. 

As a godess of nature, the behaviour of the frostmaiden is often turbulent and unpredictable. Her relationships with her warlocks are in the same way various and unpredictable. For some warlocks, as long as they use the gifts given to inflict cold on their enemies is enough to satisfy for the frostmaiden. Others are tasked with working against those who act contrart to her goals seek to reduce the realm of winter, whilst some are tasked with carrying out her fickle whims and punish those who depect her in an unflattering manor. In extreme cases, some warlocks of the frostmaiden are forced to take part in her larger goals of eliminating the other seasons from existence.
