|Introduction='''Tópil''' is the [[Ascendant Spirit]] of winter in [[Adaris]], the embodiment of the winter season and of its abstract concept. She is a self-aware spirit who personifies both the physical and the temporal sides of the season. She is active throughout all regions of [[Dalel]], but her home is in the frozen region of [[Elursāde]]. As an Ascendant Spirit she holds a major place in the spiritual hierarchy, though her harsh nature limits her popularity among ordinary worshipers. | |Introduction='''Tópil''' is the [[Ascendant Spirit]] of winter in [[Adaris]], the embodiment of the winter season and of its abstract concept.

Tópil is the personification of the season itself: her influence governs the arrival, duration and departure of winter, and she commands the climatic forces that define the winter period. The strength of her season depends on geography. Winter is harshest in the cold outer regions of Dalel and mildest toward its warm center. | Tópil is the personification of the season itself: her influence governs the arrival, duration and departure of winter, and she commands the climatic forces that define the winter period.
