Winterbone

Winterbone is one of the spirits of the Agrestal Spirit. During the months of Fóm and Celian the court of Winterbone takes control. Winterbone and his court cull the land of its resources, cutting back the old to make way for the new and to test the resolve of those that would stubbornly choose survival. Winterbone and his court are known to be mercurial, sometimes calling raging blowing storms of snow and ice, and other times giving warm thaws in the middle of the coldest months. Stories say that the court of Winterbone is more likely to make deals and give trials to mortals who seek favor, but both can be brutal and unforgiving. There is danger in any deal made with the court, but especially deals that are made in exchange for food, which always comes with hidden costs.

Shepherds of Winterbone see life as a test of survival. Every day is a challenge to overcome. They tend to be vigilant and untrusting, but highly skilled. They accept death as an inevitability, and honor the dead, often performing funeral rites across the regions when requested. They wear grey and wear a bangle with bones hanging off it.
