Sulkavaris
Sulkavaris, Knower of Names is the Egregore of Wintermark. It appears as a figure, male or female in form, dressed in the traditional garb of the Winterfolk either as Suaq, Kallavasi or Steinr as suits it's role. Sulkavaris particularly enjoys being told riddles or shown other examples of Wintermark art and children are encouraged to create riddles of their own to tell.
In midwinter, Sulkavaris gives blessings to the virtuous but is sometimes accompanied by a malevolent figure known as the Krampus. The Krampus is a strange being that dispenses curses, but only upon those who ask for them. Individuals who feel the need to atone for something, perhaps an infidelity or a moment of cowardice in battle, will approach the Krampus and whisper their crime in its ear. The Krampus curses them, but the curse lasts only until the next winter and those who survive the curse are absolved of any wrongdoing. An image of the Krampus is often worn as a symbol by the Frayed, although it has no particular affection for them.
Current Hosts
In recent years it has taken three hosts, one following each of the traditions, though these hosts activities are not restricted to the Winterfolk who follow that tradition by any means.
