 Forlorn
The forlorn are abandoned celestial prototypes from an
alternate, dead timeline, dominated by eldritch horrors. They
appear as pale-skinned, lithe humanoids without legs, scarlet
linen-like flesh extending from various parts of their forms.
Their faces bear no figures aside a cavity filled with rows of
sharp teeth, and a spectral halo hovers above their heads.
Unwanted Visitors. The forlorn found a window between
realities to enter Kyrmoria, during the destruction of the
Time Nexus. Settling on the far north, they were attracted
and sought shards of truefrost to feed on, as the residual
divine energies in them were able to sustain their alien, yet
celestial-like constitution. This allowed them to adjust to this
world and assimilate the otherwise deadly to mortal beings
rimeblight into their arsenal of abilities.
Survival and Rebirth. The forlorn were few, hunted and
killed on sight by all able to withstand their presence, due to
their nature and abhorrent visages. Therefore, they needed a
way to reproduce, despite being unable to do so biologically.
Experimenting with mortals by feeding them truefrost and
trying to manipulate their physical forms through unearthly
magics, they eventually created, through many horrific
failures, a successful process. With this knowledge, they
scout the tundras, searching for the unwise group of
wanderers, using their natural will-stripping abilities to take
them away into their lairs and transform them into new
members of their kind.

Forlorn Magic Resistance. The forlorn has advantage on saving throws

against spells and other magical effects.

 Frostwight
Many terrible, unnatural creatures wander the frozen
wastes, but none can match this terrible ice-clad horror.
Frostwights appear as skeletal humanoids wearing rime-
covered armors. Shards of ice extrude from their forms,
which are tarnished with bluish, shadowy flames, a product
of their rise into undeath. Frostwights are rare enough that
their usual behaviour or tactics are undocumented outside of
their following by lesser undead thralls, but the seething,
untamed hatred for the living burning in the lifeless sockets
of their skulls is legendary.
Vengeance of the Rimemother. Many brave or foolish
warriors scour the tundras in search of the mythical truefrost,
a material supposedly made out of shards of an ice deity's
avatar, willingly cut and thrusted into the material plane. Yet,
compared to myths, reality often takes a much darker turn.
The rare few who manage to unearth a shard of truefrost face
a challenging fate. For shards of the divine are scarcely
willingly given, and these artifacts were forcefully torn from
the goddess's avatar in an ancient battle. It is in such a way,
that those who contact truefrost are judged; should their
souls be pure, they are blessed with a material that can be
forged into armaments of unparalleled power. Should they be
found inadequate, they are wreathed in the Goddess's ire,
rimeblight, its azure tendrils withering their flesh until only
two, pale flickers remain alight.
