[edit] Worshipers
Ulutiu is worshiped by the arctic Ulutiun peoples of the Great Glacier and the Sea of Moving Ice of Icewind Dale.
[edit] Relationships
Auril, the Frostmaiden, is siphoning power from him, slowly as not to wake him, but she is continually weakening him so that eventually he will die, then she may subsume his portfolio.
[edit] History
Ulutiu began an affair with Othea, wife of Annam All-Father, leading to the firbolg, fomorian, verbeeg and the voadkyn.[2][3] Ulutiu voluntarily exiled himself from Faerûn in -2550 DR[4] when his affair with Othea was discovered by Annam.[citation needed] According to Skrom Jek's The Meanderings Upon the Friezes of Hotun-Shûl, Ulutiu's corpse was placed on a barge that floated into the Cold Ocean and when it sank, his magical amulet froze the water, creating the Great Glacier and the Endless Ice Sea,[5] a process which took 75 years.[6]
