Aesir, of the Norse
Asset Skills: Close Combat, Occult
Scent of the Divine: Burning amber, with a snap of electricity
Aesir Motif
By drawing runes or weaving threads, one may perform a jarteign.
The Wyrd Purview encompasses the magic used by the Æsir and their worshippers to foretell and manipulate the fates spun by the Nornir. These include galdr (spells and charms) cast through runes or chanting, spá (prophecy), and the practice of seiðr in emulation of the Nornir.
Aesir Signature Purview: Wyrd
The Wyrd promotes experience and fixation of what is perceivable to the Nornir — the three fates. They sit and spin their tapestry connecting men and Gods to their threaded creation and, like ley lines, they force encounters that are destined to be. As the Gods chained Fenrir, tossed Jörmungandr into the sea, and placed Hel in Helheim, they accepted that their Fate is set in stone. They can no longer deny that ashridden lands will become blanketed in darkness as the sun and the moon are swallowed hole. Gods will die by the hands of the most monstrous of beings. The giants will die by the hands of Gods. Ragnarok is believed to be the end of days, but really, it is the beginning.
Wyrd Innate Power
You have a personal fate that you know you are destined to meet. This might be a death whose circumstances mirror those of your divine parent’s fated doom in Ragnarok, a betrayal by those closest to you, the failure of an ambition, or some similar dramatic downfall. Whenever you encounter narrative difficulties that advance your fate or echo its circumstances, or because you are trying to avoid your fate, add 1 Momentum to the pool.
