Himile

God of Cold

  • Darkness pantheon
  • Troll Pantheon

There is a whole hierarchy of deities subservient to him and worshiped in cold places, but this hierarchy is unknown throughout most of the world. In the darkest winters when the powers of the ice hells stir, the hollri and uzhim (ice demons and snow trolls) sometimes slither down from the Great Northern Glacier and are seen by unlucky mortals.

  • Child of Father of Demons & Mother of Space
  • Himile is the brother of Subere and Dehore
