Misiumos is a god worshipped by the Gorbesh and the Kaldar, which are an offshoot of mainstream Gorbesh society.

Misiumos is the cold and defiant goddess of the Domain of Ice. It is the shroud of Misiumos that covers Albaria with ice and snow. Misiumos is also venerated as the goddess of the land itself. Though cold she may be, we are all children of Misiumos, great Lady of Ice -- she makes us stronger, she tests us, she puts the frost in our bones. The sun-baked lands are weak, but Misiumos readies her children for the Ilaehl. When that time of bleakness comes, we will persevere; we will fight. But just as Misiumos harden us, so does Merion grant mercy. When the land was covered in cold for all the year, it was Merion that did battle the Lady of Ice -- Misiumos fought, but she was beaten, and so did she relent. The Lady of Fire made her vow to give reprieve to the unending chill. Misiumos watches over the wilderness; from her union with Sraxaec did come the beasts of the earth. Hunters seek the blessing of Misiumos, for those vast expanses they range are her territories. Her planet is Misueshi.
