Velvar
More actions
Velvar is the Goddess of Fate in Mistfall Hunter, also called the Weaver. She tends Yggdrasil and weaves the Web of Fate from its roots and new branches.
Who she is
Velvar knows all fates and never speaks them aloud. She holds her spindle in silence, terrified of revealing the futures she sees; those who first meet her think she is mute. In the Age of the Stars, when the gods bound themselves to Yggdrasil to keep the world in order, the Web of Fate was placed in her care.
After the Twilight War the Web of Fate was badly damaged. The soul fragments of the Goddess of Fate scattered across the land and took shape as Dew.
At Windrest
Her stone statue stands motionless in the camp, covered in cracks. It is the Goddess Statue: restoring it raises the healing of your Springhorn, and as it is rebuilt the threads in her hands begin to weave again. See Windrest.
Legends
- She built the first Shrine of Honor from a branch of Yggdrasil for her eldest brother Kjernnos, to display the spoils of his victories. Mortal warriors followed, hoping to enter the Hall of the Einherjar.
- Before the fall of the gods she gave mortals an undying ember, the Enlightening Flame, said to light the path of fate.
- A javelin is said to be forged from a black needle she lost; none of its masters met a peaceful end.
- The Lifetime Contract is "an immortal vow sworn between the Gyldhunter and Velvar".
- The Woodlings believe they are related to her, since all of them trace back to Yggdrasil.
