Finding a Dark Purpose
In the northern reaches of Faerun, Frost Giants are known to raid towns and villages for food and livestock. However, a certain clan of giants also takes humanoids as prisoners.
The Demon Lord of Frost Giants, Kostchtchie, is a horrific character who seeks absolute obedience. Those that serve him are given power of Wizardry and Dark Magic.
After raids, the frost giant mages would erect giant altars of ice where bloody sacrifices of prisoners would be made. There, they hoped their gifts would summon an aspect of Kostchtchie.
One of the raided villages contained a human boy named Doma. After being taken, the frost giants began to sacrifice prisoner after prisoner on their crimson altars of ice. Doma witnessed each sacrifice... even his parents. The frost giants laughed as they believed they had broken the boy who just stood there and said nothing. However, what they didn't know was that he didn't care.
Doma has no emotions. He only pretends to be happy and sad when he believes he is supposed to be so that he blends in. Now that the villagers and his family are dead, there is no longer a reason to pretend.
As he himself was about to be sacrificed, the tribe's prayers were answered and an aspect of Kostchtchie appeared.
He was pleased with the sacrifices but was offended that the frost giant leading the tribe was a woman. Due to his misogynistic ways, Kostchtchie cursed her with a violent death. As her body laid on the cold crimson colored ice, Kostchtchie demanded that the frost giants eat her remains.
The frost giants were stunned at the request. They wanted to please their lord after finally getting his attention but they could not bring themselves to do it. That is when Doma walked forward. The frost giants, still stunned, just watched as the boy knelt down by the dead giant and began to eat her arm.
Kostchtchie hates many creatures including demons like himself. However, this is subdued when he is entertained or intrigued like a child. Kostchtchie greeted the boy with admiration, congratulating him for following his demands when no one else had the grit. He then opened a portal to the Abyss inviting the boy to come and join him in the Iron Wastes. The boy stood with blood dripping down his face and asked "Will I be able to eat more?" Kostchtchie laughed and nodded.
