Gélidorei

Loria’s mark the Yule by the shortest day of the cold season, customs vary across Loria, however it is a day that is universally celebrated 
and brings in the New Year. One thing that is universal is the Gélidorei prophecy. Gélidorei is known as the Deity of ice, winter , cold , snow, death, decay, emptiness, oblivion, and void throughout all. In legend he has three forms that he shifts through as the Mortal Plane goes through its cycles. The first form is a Gigantic ice dragon that was involved with the birth of the cosmos, this dragon is often prayed to in dragon cults, this prophecy is that the dragon with break through the spirit planes and use its manipulation of the void to fuse together the 7 inner planes of mundane existence. The second is a seductive woman who was said to of given birth to the current mortal plane after destroying every soul in existence and breeding with it. The third and current prophecy is the masculine energy of a brutish figure mounted on a stag of ice, he is to sweep his cold throughout the world until all mortals experience the cold of oblivion, existence will then cease to exist and all souls in the afterlife with be reabsorbed into the divine,  as a war between all the gods in both the low and high celestial realms. The victors will reshape existence in their image. Mortals being the demographic with the most to loose eras ago sent their best heroes to retrieve a spark of creation which is Aliabyral’s lost scale , the dragon who birthed sentient life and gave its life to separate the mortal plane from the spirit plane, whos corpse became the spirit plane itself. The spirit plane is where souls are judged if they lived a potent enough life to advance into one of the infinites or if they are destined to stay as spirits or live another life, none of the options are considered bad or good.  This scale is the opposite of Gélidorei and when retrieved from the astral plane it was taken to the best dwarf forgemasters and elven enchanters to be shattered into 47 separate idols scattered to the holiest of places across loria. These 47 Aliabyral Idols every Yule, prevent the Gélidorei prophecy from coming true. Gélidorei is unable to touch the shards and Good, Evil, and Neutral humanoids alike do not dare tamper with these idols for self preservation. However beings from the Infinite Hells and Infinite Wandering Souls often tempt mortals and send lesser demons to disrupt the isles in hopes the Dark wins the war that's to come and reshapes existence in pure darkness. If one Idol is out of place during Yule , Gélidorei chill will start sweeping across the globe and if not pushed back by midnight on Yule, existence will end and the gods will go to war. 
The exact prophecy is that on a Yule long overdue Gelidorei will send their chill first into the Mortal Realm, sending all the souls to the spirit realm, then the 6 other planes will collapse without the central mortal realm holding them together and they will all implode into the spirit realm. The spirit realm will retake its original form as the dragon Aliabyral who will then will be overwhelmed by Gelidorei’s oblivion , ultimately leading to the death of Aliabyral and all the souls that have ever existed. High and Low, Dark and Light, Law and Chaos celestials will go into an epic battle and the victor will mold the 4 elements into a new form of existence the is suspended in the astral planes.
