Seeress Emberfrost
Seeress - Emberfrost (a.k.a. Witch-Queen of Ice and Shadow; Oracel of the Frozen Grave)
Seeress Emberfrost is the enigmatic and terrifying sovereign of Castle Emberfrost, ruling the ancient fortress and its haunted dominion with unquestioned arcane supremacy. A figure of icy grandeur and immortal poise, she is said to be older than the blizzard winds themselves, her very presence exuding a deathly cold that stills hearts and clouds thought. She is both seer and sovereign, bound to the ancient magics buried deep within the Icy Wastes, and serves as a conduit between the living, the dead, and the forgotten.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
The Seeress appears as a statuesque woman cloaked in layered frost-silk and soulwoven shadow, her skin pale as moonlit snow, her eyes twin shards of frozen prophecy. Her long silver-white hair moves as if under unseen tides, and her breath mists even in firelit rooms. A crown of black ice floats just above her brow, humming softly with ancient sigils. Her voice carries a resonance that echoes within the listener's bones, bending wills with eerie calm.
Special abilities
Seeress Emberfrost commands a triad of magical disciplines:
- Cryomancy: She can summon walls of sentient frost, entomb foes in ice that never melts, and command blizzards like extensions of her will.
- Necromancy: She speaks freely with the dead, conjures spectral armies, and binds souls into cold relics or eternal servitude.
- Prophecy and Time-Magic: Through the Mirror Halls and her own twisted clairvoyance, she glimpses past and future, pulling secrets from yet-to-be and rewriting fates through hidden threads.
Her signature spell, The Silence Beyond Frost, is said to drain all sound and motion from the world around her, freezing even time for a heartbeat’s span.
Personality Characteristics
Representation & Legacy
Some say the Seeress was once mortal—a queen abandoned on the mountain in a time of great betrayal, who drank from a glacial spring where the veil between life and death had thinned, forever changing her. Others claim she is a shard of a dead moon, or the daughter of a withered god of winter.
In any case, her name is spoken only in reverence or fear, and even then, rarely aloud.
Social
Reign
She governs not through armies, but through fear, foresight, and unearthly loyalty. Her court is composed of witches, revenants, frost-spirits, and mutated servitors bound by ancient pacts. Her decrees come rarely but are absolute and immutable.
The Seeress maintains ancient ties with entities imprisoned deep within the glacier, feeding her dominion’s power through forbidden bargains. In her hands lies the balance of frost and death in the region—a delicate force that, if broken, could unleash the ancient horrors sealed beneath Castle Emberfrost.
Contacts & Relations
Amelia Emberfrost, her daughter and designated heir, is both student and sacrifice—being groomed not just to inherit, but to survive the legacy and curses tied to Castle Emberfrost. The Seeress trains her through brutal rites, spectral tests, and dream-divinations. Though her rule is unyielding, whispers say the Seeress harbors a deep, if alien, love for Amelia—one she hides beneath layers of prophecy and power.
