Winter
The Spirit of Winter
"Winter is harsh and unforgiving. None understand this better than the Tul Vos tribes, who live in what most of Earedar would consider a continuous state of winter. It's brutal trials can push any man to their limits, yet strength is forged from that hardship."Tristian MorcerProfessor of NaturalismThe Cycles of the Seasons
The son of Arüvorash and an unknown entity, knowledge of the existence of the spirits of the four seasons was limited or outright forgotten in Earedar with the disappearance of Arüvorash during the Infernal Crusade. With the reemergence of the deity in 6713 CY of the Age of Storms, word is just beginning to spread again of their existence.
Winter is a slow and ponderous being, sleeping for long stretches of time. When his cold fury is released he is known to be capable of immense power, known to create living statues of his enemies and carve away at them for months. Luckily, there are few things that enrage him, outside of sins against his father. During the splitting of the soul of Arüvorash Winter returned to his father to bolster his essence against the pain of the split, and only recently returned to his true form.
Winter has no known worshippers or clergy, although talk has begun amongst the adherents of the Church of Winter of adding him to their rites and worship.

Faiths, Cults and Organizations
Ironwood Rangers- The Ironwood Rangers are an organization of rangers, paladins, clerics and druids dedicated to the service of The Scarred Son, Arü and his children the Four Seasons. Extremely small in number, they seek to protect and shepherd the Dreadwood, and purify the corruption left behind by Vorash. They are sworn to combat him and all of his machinations, with the ultimate goal of either his destruction, or the purification of his soul and his ultimate reunion with Arü, bringing about the rebirth of Arüvorash. Lillith Anastasiar is their leader, and First Ranger of Arü.
Church of Winter- An organization venerating Budnir Karlsson , Koranam and Shevra as the "Gods of Winter", the Church is primarily located in the Frozen North and surrounding areas. This Church venerates the three deities as the powers that control the harsh weather of the region, and make the appropriate sacrifices and rites to gain their favor. While not outright named as a being worshipped by the Church as knowledge of the spirits of the seasons has been limited across Earedar, these worshippers unknowingly miss a fourth being in their rites.
