Frostwraith

Frostwraiths are ghostly, malevolent spirits that haunt the frozen wastelands of the Abyssal Gloom. Born from the tormented souls of those who perished in despair and cold, these spectral beings embody the unrelenting chill of the land and the sorrow that permeates it. Frostwraiths are feared for their ability to sap warmth, life, and hope from their victims, leaving only frozen husks behind. They are often regarded as heralds of Lady Sythra’s will, their presence a sign of unending grief and doom.

Behaviour

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Physical contact with a Frostwraith can cause severe frostbite and necrotic damage, as their touch absorbs heat and vitality. This ability can freeze a creature solid with prolonged exposure. These spirits are incorporeal, capable of phasing through solid objects and blending with the ever-present mist of the Abyssal Gloom. They often appear as shifting, indistinct shapes, making them difficult to detect until they strike. Frostwraiths also emanate an aura that saps the willpower and morale of those nearby, instilling feelings of hopelessness and fear. This aura can weaken magical defenses and leave victims more susceptible to their chilling attacks.
