+== Biography ==
-Gostir, the ancient "Dread-glance," was a powerful enchanter who resided in the mountains of Barl Syrnac north of Rhûn. He was a pure white [[Cold-drakes|Cold-drake]] renowned for his burning red eyes and terrifying countenance. Gostir could frighten a foe to submission or even death with his gaze. Fortunately for the local Lossoth, Umli, and Lotani peoples, however, he fed mostly on herd animals and large water mammals.{{Fact|Date=29 Jan 2014}}
