Old Man Winter
Even Martapa has stories about someone in charge of the ice and the snow. Furere is the God of Storms, but his helper, Old Man Winter is charge of snow storms and ice. Old Man Winter is usually a lazy minor god, but when he lets loose, he lets loose. Usually he lets loose with snow just up north or far to the south in Ariella, but sometimes he gets the urge to just snow everywhere. When this happens he rides through the sky in his magical sled pulled by magical horses dumping snow and ice from the skies. People will sometimes light candles out side to ward him off, though this really does little except show him where to dump the snow. Others will whispers prayers to him and if he is in a generous mood, might miss that house or village. He particularly likes to hit major Houses and cities to see all the city folk miserable.

Moonshade's Spear
Moonshade's spear was something special, just like the Clan Leader herself. She was the first female Wolf Clan Leader and bore a special place in Targon's heart. He presented her with a spear made of a dark wood, deep from the ancient forests of the Tsalagi Mountains in the north. The spear head, though made of flint, is as strong as steal. The whole spear glints with a bluish hue, sparkling even in the dimmest of lights. The magical properties of this staff are several, one of which is the ability to call forth arching lightning which can harm enemies but not the one holding the spear. Lightning is temperamental and so was a good fit with the temperamental Moonshade. There is protections from elemental magic, though not death magic. And the spear has the ability to be thrown incredible distances with accuracy and be recalled to the wielder's hand with a single word.
After Moonshade's death it disappeared for Targon wanted no one else to bare the weapon but Moonshade.
