*'''The Walakhi''' 8{{Aspect|Edge}},8 {{Aspect|Grail}},8{{Aspect|Winter}}
**"Swift, hungering, '''''cold'''''. It's breath steams on the warm air, it's shrivelled eyes gleaming like coals in their hollowed out sockets. It notices your observation, and its grin spreads wide. There is hunger in those eyes."
**If the maw treats their faithful as its children, these would be its bastards. They squandered their faith, were consumed by their hungers and sought ever more perverse means of satisfaction, corrupting their devotions of growth and improvement to degrading debaucheries. Yet these wretches still remain as deadly now as they were in their prime, and were once (justly) hunted to near extinction. The remainder have taken to the cold, residing in those regions mortals fear to tread. Their sightings are few, now, though their presence can still be felt. For every hundred slain in the Woods, one escapes to the cold, replenishing their greatly diminished numbers.
**The Maw does not truly control them, but to those who have ''greatly'' displeased the Maw, they may find themselves yearning to summon one from their frozen domain. They never ask how they learned to do this, much less how to send it ''back'' before it is far too late. Outside this, if the Maw is ''truly'' desperate, they will answer the Maw's call to arms, pouring out of the mountains in droves to wreak havoc. This is not done lightly, as they have very little intention of returning.
