INORA, THE WHITE PRINCESS
She is a winter spirit closely related to Himile, and is the
goddess of frost -- the Snow Queen, if you will. In Prax, Inora is
viewed as just another powerful spirit to be contacted for her
benefits. In less arid country, she is regarded as a malign entity to
be propitiated. I imagine that SOMEWHERE in Glorantha she has an
organized cult, but she's pretty minor. She shows up in Yelmalio's
Hill of Gold quest as an enemy to be endured just before the chaos
monsters come. The spell she teaches at shrines (and to the Praxians)
causes all the ground within range to be frozen, and the plants to be
covered with frost. When the sun comes up, this rapidly melts and
everyone enjoys the moisture. In Sartar, her spell causes the
equivalent of an ice storm, and is quite aggravating.
