lore:
they prefer to live alone in placesl ie kthe boreal woods or in small famiyl colonies of 2-12 related individuals, said woods they consider their stewardship and task themselves with rpotecting and guarding i na vaguely fae way. they don't need to eat much and feed maily by breakign frozen fish out of the lakes.

with the sole exception of their icy homeland where tthey can be sustaiend all year round, their wings and horns and ice-details only form during the winter months, when it's cold enough, affording them a brief breeding season in which they fly far and wide to locate other isolated families and individualso ftheir species to pair with. much culture exists aorudn this state, which has many different regional names and many myts surroundign it's origin and function. the most common regional namesfor their seasonal winged state and the state of being in said winged state are variations on "the

ALTERNATELY

when their wings and horns melt in the warmer months, they also lose their sentience-reverting to midnless, hungering, slinking wyrms. the retain little memory of this time, and very much of their culture and infrastructure is built uponthe fact that they are only sentient for a limited portion of the year. many of them beleive it is some kidn fo curse form the gods for an ancient crime. in this case calling them a thawling or a thawed would be highly offensive, likenign them to their savage forms.

in either case, they exude snow and clod and mild winter wherever they go while in breeding season state, out of necessity to maintain their wings. they find life in warmer climes like the shifting expanse, the viridian labyrinth, the ashfall wastes, and almsot anywhere other than the starfall isles, shadow domain, sothermost areas of the windswept plateu, and osme montaintops to be extraordinarily difficult to live. a vast many in areas such as the shifting expanse and ashfall wastes, simply never see their winged form at all. without magical or technological assitance.
the actual reason the icewarden made them this was, is to encourage expansion and conquest. by makign them unable to comfortably live in foreign lands without spreading his domain of power, but also ensuring there would be one time a year that they would have some ability to travel beyond, he felt that this woudl encourage them to propagate hsi sphere of influence. whether his plan of makign them conquerers by necessity or not worked as intended, he's likely stil ldissapointed in them, the icewarden is alwsys dissapointed in his children.
