Frida

"In my cold heart, I bear no malice towards the good people of Rodinnbrok who worship Jormund. My hatred is reserved for those even more sinister than Jormundr himself: those aware of his true nature, and his plan, but choose to cloak themselves in deceit and sing drunken songs of falsehood. May the All-Father cast a mighty curse upon them in the next realm, and may my spear pierce their lying tongues in this realm,"

- Frida before decapitating Svín the betrayer



Frida, also known as Frida Frostheart, hailing from fallen Rodinnbrok was a ascendant, leader, farmer, and wife to Ascendant Ivan. She stands as a formidable figure within Essentism, in her own right. Before Ascendance, She founded JormundarVaka, and was the first to discover Jorm's true plan and connection to Grizagel. The tales of Ascendantess Frida, ivan and Yekhariel, as detailed in this article, are drawn from the "Codex Infernach", penned by Liberatus.

The Founding of JormundarVaka
Frida's, spiritual curiosity and warrior instincts often led her to explore forbidden territories within Hell to seek mysteries and hunt for demons. One such expedition took her to the very 'tongue' of hell (Lugal'gael) where she uncovered ancient artifacts – relics that possibly revealed the true nature of Jormund, she did not know for sure as most of it was written in an unknown hellish language, but these artifacts contained images that and texts that depicted Jormund not just as a mere deity of blessings. Returning with this knowledge, she and Ivan spend weeks trying to decipher the demonic words, until they heard a voice from above, which would later be identified as the Arch angel Gizondael, telling them the All-father praises their undying loyalty and dedication to truth, Gizondael then bestow upon them ascendanthood and gifted them ability to understand Angaelic, a key to deciphering the Demonic language as it was but a corrupted or twisted version of Angaelic. He further warned that Rodinnbrok was destined to crumble as the worm had become too immense, yet there remained hope for Eldham's salvation. Together, with the newfound wisdom, they deciphered the inscriptions, unraveling Jormund's nature. Realizing that the inhabitants of Rodinnbrok revered Jormund as a mere benevolent deity, the couple felt a divine calling to educate the masses and prepare them for potential catastrophe. Thus, Under Frida's guidance, JormundarVaka was born – a name which signified vigilance towards Jormund. The group became a large underground community and a sanctuary for those who sought truth and for those who wanted to delve deeper into the mysteries of the universe.

The execution of Svín the betrayer
During the Lugal'gael campaign, Archangel Gizondal had gotten orders from the All-maker to brand each follower of the Jormund cult with the demonic mark of Grizagel on their foreheads.

As Svín the betrayer, once a close ally to Frida, was in the middle of urging her to seal the Hell portal, the mark appeared on his forehead. Acting quickly upon seeing Frida's realization, Svin made a move to close the portal himself. In response, Frida, with a swift motion, severed his arm, bringing him to the ground.

Gasping from the shock and pain, Svín managed to speak, "Do you know why they call you Frostheart? It's because you're a cold, bitter, and ungrateful whore! Ungrateful to our Lord Jormund, who's granted so many blessings to Roddinbrok. Your heart holds only disdain for Jormund's followers and the innocent of Roddinbrok and all that is Good in Eldham."

Frida then retorted her famous quote, "No, In my cold heart, I bear no malice towards the good people of Rodinnbrok who worship Jormund. My hatred is reserved for those even more sinister than Jormundr himself: those aware of his true nature, and his plan, but choose to cloak themselves in deceit and sing drunken songs of falsehood. May the All-Father cast a mighty curse upon them in the next realm, and may my spear pierce their lying tongues in this realm". With a determined motion, she thrust her spear, Sköllfang, into Svín's skull, sealing the fate of the treacherous Swine

The Pig King
Following his death, Svín the Betrayer found himself in the depths of Hell. There, Grizagel recognized Svín's potential and the value of his treachery. In a grand ceremony, Grizagel crowned Svín as the Pig King, and bestowed upon him vast territories within Hell and mountains of Gold. Utilizing his unique understanding of both the common tongue and the demonic language, Svín was tasked with a crucial role. He set about creating religious texts and scriptures for Grizagel, ones that could be introduced and propagated in the overworld.
