- "Where the land plummets from the snowy hills into the icy fjords below, where the longboats draw up on to the beach, where the glaciers flow forward and retreat with every fall and spring - this is the land of the Vikings, the home of the Norse pantheon."

Capabilities[]
The user has access to the power and abilities of the Gods and Goddesses of Norse mythology and Germanic mythology.
Somewhat like Greek mythology, Norse also had three broad groups of deities, although they weren't supplanted by succeeding groups but intermingled and revered/placated simultaneously.
- Æsir are connected to war, nobility, and power.
- Vanir are associated with fertility, wisdom and the ability to see the future.
- Jötunn are connected to primal, untamed and destructive aspects of nature, and many were more placated than worshiped. Note that several jotun were counted among the other groups more than on their own.
Most Norse surviving sources come from the Poetic and Prose Eddas which contain things like the Gylfaginning.
