Fantasy Undead Norse


Norse Army
Odin the all Father

Odin, The All Father, the ruler of all the gods and the Lord of Battle. Odin is depicted riding Sleipnir, the eight legged stallion that Loki gave birth to, and accompanied by the wolves Geri and Freki. He is armed with Gunginir, the spear that never misses. Odin gave up one of his eyes in trade for wisdom. Odin offers power and strength, but you would be unwise to seek his aid, as those who do invariably meet a sticky end.

Frigg Queen of the gods: God of motherhood, love and marriage. Odin is Frigg's Husband.

Frigg God of motherhood
Thor, god of thunder

Thor, God of Thunder, strength and protection. Not the brightest of the gods, but certainly amongst the most popular. Thor has been depicted wielding the mighty hammer Mjölnir, riding in his chariot drawn by giant goats. Thor wears his belt of strength, and his iron gauntlets that allow him to catch Mjölnir.

Loki, the trickster god, if it goes wrong, its always, ALWAYS! because of Loki. Only a fool would ever trust this illusionist with anything. Loki's power with the arcane arts, tactical acumen and sideways thinking can sometimes masquerade as a force for good, but they are not!

Loki the trickster
Freyja, god of sorcerey

Freyja, the most powerful sorceress, goddess of Life, death, magic and fertility. Freyja is depicted here wearing her cloak of falcon feathers, riding on her war boar Hildisvin and flanked by her giant cats. In less martial times Freyja can be found riding a chariot pulled by these very cats.

Freyr, brother of Freyja, God of the world, with power over sun, rain, grain, wealth and fertility. If Thor is not the most popular of the gods, then perhaps Freyr is. Freyr is depicted on the back of his golden bristled war boar Gullinbursti and wielding an elf wrought sword, capable of fighting on its own.

Freyr, god of teh world
Tyr, god of war

Tyr, a war god, is strong, powerful and just. But he is also the bravest of all the gods! He was the only god brave enough to agree to the terms of a bet that lead to the imprisoning of Fenrir, the fearsome wolf child of Loki. This bet required Tyr to place his right arm in the mouth of the wolf whilst he was tied up with a strong but weak looking tether. When Fenrir was unable to break free of the tether, Tyr lost his hand and Fenrir got a taste for God Flesh. Tyr is given command of a unit of Huscarls.

Heimdall, the watchman of the gods, with supreme eyesight and hearing, and no need for sleep, little occurs without the knowledge of Heimdall. Heimdall is given command of a unit of Huscarls.

On the battlefield their appearance is more terrifying, winged warriors riding mighty steads into the heart of the conflict, where death is most likely.
