The tundra is merciless, but so are we. Stand firm, strike true, and remember: the frost favors the prepared.

— Erynn Halefrost

Title: Commander of Frostwatch Outpost

Age: Late 30s

Race: Half-Elf

Appearance

Warden Erynn Halefrost is a striking figure, her presence embodying the austere resilience of the tundra. Standing tall at just over six feet, her lithe and athletic build reflects years of training and survival in the harsh wilderness. Her pale skin is lightly freckled and often windburned, contrasting with the cold intensity of her piercing silver eyes, which seem to catch every movement in her surroundings.

Erynn’s hair is a mix of dark brown and white streaks, tied into a loose braid that falls over her shoulder. The frost-white strands are a natural trait of her elven heritage and the result of prolonged exposure to the tundra’s cold. Her sharp features—high cheekbones, a strong jawline, and slightly pointed ears—reflect her mixed lineage, blending the grace of her elven ancestors with the pragmatism of her human upbringing.

Erynn wears a practical and well-worn set of frostforged steel armor, light enough for mobility but durable against the tundra’s many dangers. Over her armor, she dons a dark blue cloak lined with wolf fur, its clasp shaped like a snowflake—a subtle nod to her station. Slung across her back is Frostbite, a sleek longbow crafted of frostglass and enchanted to bite into even the thickest hides. Her belt carries a quiver of froststeel-tipped arrows and a utility knife for survival tasks.

Personality

Erynn is a no-nonsense, disciplined leader whose stoic demeanor hides a deep sense of loyalty to her people and an unshakable resolve to protect Frosthaven. She speaks sparingly, preferring action to words, but when she does speak, her words are measured and impactful. Her calm and calculated approach to problems has earned her the respect of the Frostwardens under her command, though some find her aloofness intimidating.

Erynn’s upbringing taught her the value of resilience and self-reliance. She has little patience for incompetence or cowardice but respects those who show determination and a willingness to learn. Despite her seemingly cold exterior, she cares deeply for those under her protection and will go to great lengths to ensure their safety—even at great personal risk.

She is highly observant, always scanning for danger or hidden opportunities. This, coupled with her experience and sharp intuition, makes her an exceptional scout and tactician.

History

Erynn was born in Frosthaven to a human mother, a ranger, and an elven father, a traveling scholar. Her father’s departure when she was young left her with a complicated relationship with her elven heritage, as she was often viewed as an outsider by both humans and elves. Determined to prove her worth, Erynn dedicated herself to the art of survival and combat, training under her mother and the Frosthaven Vanguard.

At the age of 18, Erynn joined the Frostwardens, quickly distinguishing herself through her skill with a bow and her natural leadership abilities. Her first command came during a mission to reclaim a supply caravan lost to a frost troll ambush. Though outnumbered, her quick thinking and precision strikes allowed her team to recover the supplies and eliminate the threat.

When the Frostwatch Outpost was established near the Howling Abyss, Erynn was chosen to lead it. Under her command, the outpost has become a critical line of defense against Abyssal incursions and a key source of intelligence on the tundra’s growing dangers. Her reputation as an unyielding protector and a capable leader has only grown over the years.
