Unno-Ǐara
The Witch Queen of Hagfell garnered many names for herself throughout her abnormally long lifespan—measured in millennia instead of decades—but none quite caused the dread her oldest name managed among all the descendants of the Eltiri.
She was born in the early days of the First Age when the Eltiri still roamed the lake-spotted lands of Elteläi, with a name long lost to history, and perhaps even to the Mother of Miznaraǐ herself. Unno-Ǐara was the name she took for herself—perhaps from an established nickname or an insult—when she was exiled by the Astuorë, then newly separated from the Eltiri by her and her husband Asta-Kajtï.
When the great cold came after the Day of Tremors and winter's winds grew harsh enough that even her magic could not block the worst of them, Unno-Ǐara gathered the most faithful and powerful of her followers under the fell where she kept her court. There she sealed them, and herself, in ice eternal, so that they could hold out until the end of the long winter and rise again when the cosmic tides gave way to a new spring.
