Inora

The Winter Goddess lives on a Glacier high in the Rockwoods to the West of Balazar and the Elder Wilds. During the Darkness she followed her father as he covered Peloria with his blanket of ice and she settled on her Palace in the RockWoods. From there her realm included the lands now known as Balazar and the Elder Wilds. The people of Votankiland banded together with their friends and allies and fought the Winter Goddess, pushing her back slowly but surely until she was banished beyond Giantland. Every Winter Inora leads an assault on the people of Balazar and the Elder Wilds but every year she is forced back again. In the past the contest has been more even but with the Lunar domination of Elkoi the locals can call on the cult of Kalikos as well as the Lodrili and Yelmites and this has helped their cause. Even Votank and his Clan fights Inora when she tries to enter his lands. Balazar tried to re-enact the Hill of Gold ritual between Yelmalio and Inora in order to try and befriend her but failed in his attempt.

Inora is not worshiped in Balazar but many shamans contact her for her spells and her abilities. There is a HeroQuest that the Inora cultists perform each Winter, called Wintercome, that attempts to make winter stronger for that year.
