Ⅰ

In the annals of the Outer Rifts, Sithhud, the Frozen Lord, is an example of a rare occurrence: the demotion of a fully fledged demon lord to the lower ranks of a nascent demon lord followed by their vengeful reclamation of their realm.

Background, home, and relationships

Sithhud once completely controlled the cold Abyssal realm of Jhuvumirak until the demon lord Kostchtchie arrived with his army, defeated the incumbent, and claimed the realm as his own. Kostchtchie ruled Jhuvumirak while Sithhud hid in the highest peaks of the realm where the Deathless Frost had yet to search until some time recent to 4724 AR, when Sithhud led an army composed of frozen undead to kill Kostchtchie and reclaim his realm. After killing Kostchtchie, Sithhud also erased all memory of the defeated demon lord's name from existence.

Sithhud's religious symbol is a frost-caked, skeletal, three-fingered hand or claw.

Appearance

Sithhud resembles a twisted humanoid. Three spindly legs support a frozen, deformed skeletal figure. The Frozen Lord possesses a breath of blizzards that kills and animates his victims as undead vassals.

Worshipers

Sithhud charges his followers to commit to seeking vengeance against those who have done them wrong, no matter how long it takes. He claimed this patronage of revenge from the defeated Kostchtchie.
