The self-styled Ice Queen, Iyraclea
lives in or beneath a castle of
sculpted ice somewhere in the
northern reaches of the Great
Glacier. She is a mighty cleric of
Auril, and embodies the Frost-

assaults on the people of Sossal. She
is served by gelugons, called the
Icy Claws of Iyraclea.

Iyraclea is said to occasionally
use spells to kidnap young, vigor-

the southern lands of Vaasa and
Damara. Some speculate that she

Note: As a full attack action, you can use longsword and short sword in combat. Doing so allows three extra attacks with the short sword, once

at the highest attack value, once at a –5 penalty, and the last at a –10 penalty from the highest attack value. (There’s still a –2 penalty on all attacks.)

*If making a full attack action with only the longsword, the ranger gains the base attack and 4 additional attacks, each succeeding attack at a –5

penalty from the previous attack value.
