Ishraki - "The Lady of Rime"
Ishraki is the Dreamweaver and the Lady of Rime. Brought into being by the torment of Aquilon the North Wind in the winter of 299 AR, Ishraki is the goddess of sorrow, ice, dreams and toil. In the realms of ice, Ishraki shapes glaciers with hands that carry the chill of deep contemplation. This icy touch is not a mere frosty grasp however; it is a sculptor's caress, forging landscapes and possibilities. So too does the Dreamweaver help realize the possibilities from the raw material of dreams. To this goddess, ice is the crystalline canvas upon which she sees the aspirations and fears of mortals painted.
The Lady of Rime navigates the vast expanse of collective subconsciousness. Where realities are born from the threads of dreams, Ishraki works tirelessly. These dreams are not merely flights of fancy, and carry the toil of the waking world and make them into ephemeral visions.
Ishraki manifests as a massive rime-covered baku, a chimera of various creatures like bears, mammoths, tapirs, and more.
