I think the Lore presumes you kill her, other wise she died of natural causes.
I concur. It is specifically stated that werewolves went extinct in the Age of Ice, so she must have died sometime. I don't see any reason to believe that Erebus's werewolves have an unnaturally long life like Vampires do, so the idea that she lived for 400 years seem unlikely. Yeah, she's dead.
He was some sort of Shaman. The other frostlings don't show any sign of magic because they are little smarter then animals/just don't think.
That seems to be true, but it seems to imply that he had a Divine Spark, which doesn't seem to fit my usual view that frostlings are soulless denizens of Mulcarn's vault created before the gods came together to create Erebus and Nemed chose to become the father of mankind.
That might imply that at least 1 frostling has the divine spark. Perhaps frostlings are instead a sort of minor ice demon made from the souls of stubborn children? Or perhaps Mulcarn passed on a small part of his own soul to his early creations, giving them free will and the ability to use magic but only within his sphere? Frankly, I have to say that the revelation that the divine spark is necessary in order to use magic and that is comes from our descent from Nemed doesn't fit all that well with many things in FfH.
On the other hand, the unit can't actually use magic; he has Channeling 1 and 2, but the barbarian state lacks a capital and so never registers as owning mana so he can't actually purchase spell spheres
I very vaguely remember thinking that an older version of mokka's cauldron entry seemed to imply that Mokka's Cauldron should really raise the dead as frostlings, but maybe I was just reading too much in to it. It clearly doesn't imply that now.
He was a travel who was stumbled upon the Shadowed Vale when he was travleing with some kids. He was about 15, and accused by the Once Elves of the Shadowed Plane of stealing some "sacred" books. Only Varn Gossam and his wife Talia (possibly a few others) belived Auric was inocent (possibly Talia stole the books). When Auric was to be put do death, intictivly used some sun magic to stun the Once Elves. The ones who belived Varn's older brother were struke blind, while Varn found Lugus in the light. The magic destroyed the seperation between the Shadowed Vale and Erebus, and Auric ran off. Unkown to any one, the Magic Blast broke open Arwan's Vault, and one of the inhabitants fell out and into Auric. This spirit was Mulcarn, who has been sudtly manipulating Auric since.
We have no idea.
It was explicitly stated as happening in the 15th year of the Age of Rebirth. Technically the Age began when Sucellus rose to be the God of Life, which was a little after Mulcarn's death, so Auric might have been 16 or 17 by then. Auric had always been possessed by/the reincarnation of Mulcarn's spirit from birth. Mulcarn's divine spark seems t have never gone to the Netherworld, but straight into the Auric as soon as he was conceived.
I personally don't think that the mention to Auric Ulvin as an awkward 16 year old boy still living in Brigidarrow makes much sense as something that took place after the encounter with the Once Elves, so I say he was a little older. His cloths never fit and his mousy brown hair always stood on end. He was exempt from weapons practice because most people assumed the very awkward child he was cursed, but he was very kind and gentle boy so we was still rather liked although he was never very social. He was sort of a comic relief, combining the roles of the village idiot and a sage. The villagers were astounded by the extensive knowledge he seemed to have on all sorts of topics, mostly lore about local plants and animals. Specifically, he knew a lot about the frogs in the local lake, which seems to me to indicate that his home was definitely
not a desert, so he is definitely not a Malakim trader. His village sounds rather temperate, perhaps somewhat cold. Right at the end of the Age of Ice this could be almost anywhere. One of the spoilers from the scenarios seems to say he was born among the Illians, but I much prefer to think he was born in some unaffiliated tribal village.
He had already been having regular nightmares in which he seemed to be murdered inside a large white cavernous room, and always ended seeing a huge white dragon watching over him. I don't think he put things together and realized that he was a god until much later though. I tend to think that the was the nightmares happened he imagined that the dragon was the one killing him instead of watching over her injured master. (I wonder if Drifa's somehow rescued his divine spark and moved it into the young boy right after he died instead of letting his master go to the Netherworld.)
I'm not really sure how Auric and the other children from Brigidarrow wandered into the Shadowed Vale/Shadow Rift (Kael has used both terms, but never shadowed plane; it isn't really a plane so much as a portal between the planes of Erebus and of the Netherworld, which was drawn into Erebus by Auric's actions), but it was clearly by accident. I believe that Auric was the oldest of the children, and so took the lead.
The children weren't accused of stealing the Books of Laroth, but of stealing the Heartstone, another artifact stolen from Laroth when the Once elves escaped from the Netherworld to the shadow rift. While in prison, Talia Gossam, who was a witch and a druidess, recognized Auric's potential and trained him how to use magic. Perhaps he had used some magic instinctively before this, but he definitely had formal training for at least one night before the escape. We don't know how long Auric and the children were imprisoned either before of after Haerlond's sham of a trial (we just wanted someone to blame, so he made up evidence when he couldn't find the truth), but Varn (perhaps with the help of Talia and a few followers) broke them out of prison on the night before the execution was to take place. When Haerlond found out he was irate and determined to kill them all, his brother included. His army had just found them when Auric decided to use what Talia taught him to escape. He knew he was channeling mana, but he didn't realize that the faint mana source he just barely felt was the Sun, which when channeled burst though the mist and broke the barrier between the Vale and Erebus, in addition to blinding Haerlond's Once Elves and giving Varn a vision of Lugus.
Presumably, after the party escaped they got somehow separated and Varn ended up lost in the desert. (I tend to think that he might have set out in this direction on purpose, having been told in his vision by Lugus to seek out the Mirror of Heaven.) The Malakim found him half dead, and took care of him despite thinking that he was a Svartalfar, their enemy. The Malakim were already followers of Lugus, but they had not received any revelation as to what they should do serve their god. Varn unified the mystics of several tribes into one faith, and eventually visions in the Mirror of Heaven revealed the precepts of the Empyrean.
There isn't a whole lot known about Decius, just the Divided Soul entry and the fact that we know he is a main character in the Scenarios who will be given an important choice that effects future scenarios. My guess is that he is a Bannor commander at a point in time when the leaders of the Bannor are becoming increasingly corrupt. I figure that he can either choose to path of righteousness and leave his people to lead the Malakim or take part in his people's fall and lead them in an alliance with their fellow lawful evil Calabim.
We'll just have to wait 8 days to find out.
