Sorin
Eternal of Winter
Sobriquets
Most commonly, Sorin is called the Hungry Wolf.
He is also known as the Tomb King, the Empty One and sometimes as Devourer-of-Hope. among the Icewalkers of Wintermark he is called the Hunger-Crow.
He is occasionally called Father of Draughir or Master of Whelps although these names have more to do with his association with cruel strength and mastery over suffering than with any biological connection to the Draughir.
Appearance
This Winter Eternal appears as a deathly pale, emaciated man dressed in tattered funereal finery, often with a furred mantle. His palace is said to be choked with sand.
Concerns
Sorin is an Eternal of hunger and thirst. He represents physical lack of sustenance, but is much more interested in the way that privation and suffering build cool strength. He is cruel, but not needlessly so - he does not encourage others to be cruel for the sake of it, but to allow them to survive and gain strength. He is cruel, because the world is cruel.
He is strongly associated with the rune Naeve.
Boons
The hungry wolf fosters and encourages strength, but only the strength that comes from abandoning weakness. He encourages the ambitious to embrace expediency in pursuit of their goals.
