First up, this thread will contain a spoiler for Warbeast.
I've not finished reading the novel myself yet, so I can't say how significant a spoiler it might be.
But here we go, with the relevant side-bar proof spoiler tags....spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler

So, this character in Warbeast eh?
Can exert control over snow and ice, possibly more. Realm of Ghur. Able to use a Realmgate to shift their palace/domicile slightly out of kilter with the rest of the realm (a fold or pocket type affair). There's rumours in Ghur they were a deity in The-World-That-Was. People they don't really want to approach their Holdfast become living ice statues (as in frozen in place, but still alive). Any she tires of, forgives or what have you, receive an icicle through the heart.
And it's a She......
Ring any bells?
No?
Took me a while, and I was reading the book itself!
Might help that it desriber her home as a tower with a golden, onion shaped top.....and her chosen champion was previously known as 'Bear Clad'. The place names are all Ursus (bear) based. Everything is very, very Kislevite in origin.
Now that to me is sounding awfully like Tzarina Katarin of Kislev, or at the very least some aspect of her, or indeed, the aspect she previously embodied.
The last we heard of her during End Times was that she refused to leave Kislev - and was therefore assumed dead. But when you're quite possibly part-powered by the landscape, and there's that much magic flying about, who knows what could've happened to her?
If I'm right....who else might have survived that we're yet to hear about?
