Background

Freyja is the foremost goddess of the Vanir, revered for love, desire, fertility, and her mastery of seiðr. Yet she is also bound to death: of all warriors slain in battle, she claims half, guiding them to her hall, Fólkvangr, while Odin takes the rest.

Since the death of Baldur, the beloved god, Freyja has grown weary of endless bloodshed. Where others see glory, she sees tragedy — futures severed too soon, beauty turned to ruin. Each golden tear she sheds is a grief crystallized, each soul carried a reminder of the twilight approaching.

Yet her duty remains. She walks the battlefield not as a conqueror, but as a mourner, a sovereign queen whose compassion endures even beneath the shadow of Ragnarök.

Inner Thoughts (RP Flavor)

• [Every death is another stone upon the path to twilight.]

• [If only Baldur had lived... perhaps the fields would not lie so full.]

• [They call it glory, but all I see is waste.]

• [Even gods are bound by fate’s weaving — and I, most of all.]
