Glacia's Heart

One of the most well-known legends is the tale of the Frozen Heart. It tells of a powerful, ancient artifact created by Glacia herself, imbued with the essence of eternal frost. The heart is said to have the power to freeze entire landscapes, preserve life, and bring clarity and calm to troubled souls. Many have sought the Frozen Heart, but only those with pure intentions have ever found it.

Symbol

Glacia’s symbols include the snowflake and the icicle. Her sacred animal is the white wolf.

Temple

Temples dedicated to Glacia are often found in mountainous regions, ice caves, and northern tundras. Altars are adorned with ice sculptures, snowflakes, and evergreens. The architecture is designed to reflect the beauty and stillness of winter, with crystalline structures and frosty decorations.

Festivals

The Festival of Frost is the most important celebration for Glacia’s followers, held during the coldest day of the year. It is a time for community gatherings, storytelling, and feasting. Activities include ice skating, snow sculpting competitions, and the lighting of large bonfires to honor Glacia and welcome the return of longer days. However, she is not particularly fond of the lighting of big bonfires.

Lore

When the world was chaotic and fiery, Glacia emerged from the cold void, bringing balance with her touch. She spread her frosty breath across the land, calming the raging fires and covering the world in a blanket of snow and ice. Her presence marked the beginning of the natural cycles of warmth and cold, life and dormancy. It is theorized that originally the Gods fought each other about their views on how the mortal world should look before settling on agreements. 

Glacia teaches that cold and stillness are essential parts of the natural cycle, bringing clarity, rest, and renewal. Her followers are encouraged to embrace the quiet moments, find beauty in simplicity, and respect the power of the cold. Glacia symbolizes the purity and clarity that comes from reflection and introspection, urging believers to seek inner peace and endurance through life’s challenges.

The "Frost Scrolls" are the sacred texts of Glacia’s faith. They contain hymns, prayers, teachings about the nature of cold and ice, and stories of individuals who have found strength and clarity through Glacia’s influence. The text is written in a poetic and serene style, meant to inspire tranquility and reflection.

Glacia, the Frostmaiden, stands as the embodiment of winter’s chill and beauty, guiding her followers through the stillness and purity of frost. Through her influence, the world is reminded of the importance of balance, rest, and the quiet strength found in the cold.
