Gullveig

Gullveig, a mysterious practitioner of seidr magic, emerges as a pivotal figure in the tumultuous Saga of the Norse gods. Hailing from Vanaheim, the realm of the Vanir gods, she arrives in Asgard, the land of the Aesir, bearing knowledge of ancient and forbidden arts.

But it is Gullveig's mastery of seidr magic that proves to be her undoing. As she weaves her spells and incantations, the Aesir gods grow wary of her power, deeming her practices to be dangerously unpredictable. In their fear and mistrust, they cast her into the flames, intent on eradicating the threat she poses to their domain.

Yet, to their astonishment, Gullveig emerges from the ashes unscathed, her body unharmed by the inferno that sought to consume her. In a display of defiance and resilience, she harnesses the very magic that brought her peril, using it to shield herself from harm and emerge victorious against her would-be executioners.

The Aesir gods, shaken by Gullveig's survival, find themselves plunged into a conflict of their own making. The flames that failed to claim her life become the spark that ignites the flames of war between the Aesir and the Vanir, a conflict that rages across the realms with devastating consequences.
