Queen Morwen is considered the protector and ruler of the city of Avanthal in northern Taldera. The Goddess of Winter governs the entire realm of Mizahar once a season when she leaves Avanthal and walks freely throughout the whole of the world. Once her seasonal reign is over, she retreats to Avanthal, a city locked in ice all year long. Like all seasonal gods and goddesses, Morwen is immortal and has been part of the Mizaharian Pantheon for the whole of the worlds existence.
Domain
Morwen rules over ice, snow, and paints the world in a fragile harsh beauty once a season. She is sometimes misunderstood as cold, callous, and unfeeling though that couldn't be further from the truth. Queen Morwen's people love her, which is why for a harsh northern city, Avanthal is well populated which supports the theory that Morwen is a strong leader that people thrive under.
Attitude
Queen Morwen lives in the Ice Palace which has an open door policy to visitors. She might not seem upon first inspection to be the most kind and caring Goddess, but the truth of the matter is, she turns no one away who would make the far nothern journey to Avanthal to see her. Her personal assistant, Jenna Aviak screens her visitors, but the truth is, if their request is legitimate and important, Morwen will see them. Queen Morwen has no close association with any of her fellow Gods and Goddesses, but there has been some rumor of her attachment to Sivah, God of Summer.
Affiliates
Morwen's followers are zealous in their support of their Queen. One need only to visit Avanthal to understand the lengths the cities people will to go stand up with their Queen. Avanthal is also the home of the Icewatch, a very powerful honor guard that supports the city and its denizens. The Icewatch acts as Morwen's personal guard, and are distinguished by the dire-sized polar bears the soldiers ride. Morwen has perfected the art of living in harsh climates and for all that her people suffer her frosty powers year round, they thrive in ingenious ways.
