Lissandra was blinded by the claws of a primal demi-god, when she and her sisters sought to conquer all the lands of the ancient Freljord. In spite of the many wondrous and terrifying things she has achieved in the millennia since, her magic has never been able to restore her sight.

From her mighty citadel, she has become the spiritual leader of the Frostguard, many of whom are missionaries and healers among the tribes. Her helm and garb are somewhat ceremonial in that role, but also make one truth very clear to any who are unfortunate enough to meet her in person—she does not need eyes to see through the mysteries and intrigues of the world around her.
