Frostfallen

Servants of Selnara, Primordial of Ice and Silence

The Frostfallen are the cursed spectral remnants of those who perished in the frozen wastes of Nyssavren, warped by the mournful power of Selnara, the Veilshard—Primordial of Moonlight, Ice, and Memory. No longer living, but not truly dead, these beings are half-glimpsed reflections, animated by lingering regrets, broken oaths, or lost love. Their bodies shimmer with frost and cracked light, and their weapons are forged from black ice and soulsteel.

Born of sorrow, they serve not out of hatred but of unfinished remembrance. The air around them stills, and mirrors crack when they pass. Some whisper that a Frostfallen's cry can fracture the mind—and that to see your reflection in one is to relive your worst memory.

Beliefs & Legends

Among the whispered myths of Nyssavren:

• “We are the Echoes of the Forgotten.” The Frostfallen are memories given form—sometimes kind, often cold.
• “Only Silence Endures.” Noise, fire, and passion are fleeting. Cold preserves what truly matters.
• “Selnara Weeps for Us.” They serve not out of worship but out of kinship with a god whose tears fell as snow.

Some believe the Frostfallen were the first Dreamwalkers—humans who sought forbidden truths in moonlit visions and lost their souls to Selnara's reflection.
