With wicked Blasts of Icy Vapors."

Role:

Ul'ty is a powerful influence of evil in the greater deities. It is Ul'ty who pulls the world away from the warming rays of the sun for nearly one-quarter of the year, and it is her interaction with her sister Isbri that brings the snow and ice of winter.

Priests:

Ul'ty's clergy are all evil. Though most follow chaos, a small number of the priests embrace the philosophies of neutrality. Regardless, all of the clergy shun the seasons of growth and greenery. Ul'ty's priests favor high latitudes where the winter months consume a greater portion of the year, and they are rarely found in near-tropical environments.

In a perverse application of logic, Ul'ty's clergy are quick to point out the benefits of Ul'ty's influence of cold, with the reasoning that organic materials will not decay when kept frozen. Their philosophies teach that when the body is frozen, it is the one true means of ensuring one's own immortality.

Temples:

Very few temples dedicated to the Cold One are located in towns or cities. The great temples to Ul'ty are set in remote, isolated areas of extreme cold. The few temples to the goddess which are located in settlements are small chapels and shrines which are hidden in all but completely evil societies.
