Jerrick Winterbringer

Jerrick was a bvardodun wizard who studied elemental magic in the Northlands. He began his arcane studies in 505 AoV. In 563 AoV, Jerrick began taking on pupils and they became heroes of a sort to their people, providing them immunity from the harsh elements of the tundra. He wore his hair and beard abnormally short in a proud display to his people that he did not require conventional methods of warmth. He did not wear furs or layers, instead dressing as a court noble in Tellaria might.
In 589 AoV, Jerrick made a pact with the water elemental Tyshou-varaun. Together they began crafting an artifact to tap into the leylines of Dorhaun and control the Glacial Ancients. It was then that he named himself “The Winterbringer”. Tyshou-varaun gifted him a magical mithril stave with the same name. Though unbeknownst to even the elemental lord, it was the broken shaft of the legendary Anaric artifact weapon, the Frosthammer.
By the next year, the Anvil of Endless Winter was created, a giant anvil carved of blueice which sat upon a nexus of leylines and could exert untold power over cryomancy, even greater than the heralds of Frigia. Jerrick convinced his people to “unite the dwarven race” by conquering. He awakened the Glacial Ancients and had them march on Ganvord. The bvardodun won Ganvord and occupied it. The Ancients moved south to Rungarin and besieged it. Seeing that Arvenlaad would be next, King Arven put together a strike team comprised of Belekor, Denorika, and Bargrim of Arvenlaad. The Anvil was broken by Belekor and the Glacial Ancients put to rest. Bargrim was infused with powerful ice energies and killed Jerrick in combat.
