Origins of Asgard

According to Asgardian legend, in the beginning there was nothing, but in time two worlds came into being on opposite sides of the void. The one to the north was named Niflheim, a world of clouds and shadows in whose center surged the fountain Hvergelmir, from which flowed twelve rivers of ice. The one to the south was named Muspelheim, which teemed with rivers of fire. Eventually the warm air from the south carved out the frost giant Ymir from the ice in the north. Ymir became the father of all the giants, and his cow Auðumbla licked out of the ice the first Asgardian, Buri. Buri had a son named Borr, who married the giantess Bestla. Borr and Bestla had three sons named Odin, Vili, and Ve, who were known as the Æsir. Odin and his brothers grew to hate the giants and slew Ymir, and his blood formed a great sea. Odin and his brothers then raised Ymir's body from the sea and created Midgard between Niflheim and Muspelheim. With Ymir's bones they created mountains, and with his hair they created trees. They then raised Ymir's skull upon four pillars to create the heavens. Within the skull contained sparks from Muspelheim, which became the sun, moon, and stars. When Midgard was complete, Odin and his brothers created a home for themselves above it called Asgard. Between the two worlds they stretched a rainbow bridge and called it Bifröst.

Asgard is a small planetary body that serves as home to the Asgardian gods such as Amora, and their ruler, Odin. It exists in another dimensional plane and is about the size of the United States. It is not round like the Earth, does not spin on its axis, and does not revolve around the sun. It is a flat, asteroid-like mass that has a top surface with a gravitational pull, similar to that of the Earth’s, in order to keep the citizens and their cities from floating into the void. The matter on Asgard is also denser and more durable than the matter on Earth. There is an unknown force that keeps the surfaces of Asgard from eroding and from allowing its bodies of water from drifting off into space. Asgard has unknown intervals of day and night, it is unclear as to whether it uses Earth’s sun as a source of light, and there is no evidence that the seasons change.

There are many inhabited areas of Asgard outside of the city, including farms, many of which provide food for the city, and some small villages. There are also several forests, mountain ranges, lakes, etc. Asgard itself is connected to nine other dimensions which form the nine worlds of Asgardian cosmology.

The City of Asgard

Golden City
Golden City

Described as the Golden City or the City of the Gods, the City of Asgard, commonly just Asgard, is the home to all of the Asgardian gods and goddess. The empyrean architecture throughout the city appears both elegant and sturdy, practical and ornate at the same time. There are several grandeur structures to serve institutions such as libraries, colleges, temples, etc. There are also numerous houses, inns, and shops throughout the City of Asgard.

The divine residents of Asgard go about their lives much like their mortal counterparts on Midgard would: visiting the markets, talking with neighbors, watching their children play, etc.

Within the Golden City, near the Imperial Palace for protection, is the home of the Imperial Guard. Here every Asgardian warrior in service to the King or Queen is well-housed and fed for their aid to Asgard. There is also a large courtyard adorned with various training utilities for the members of the Guard, where they practice for hours daily.

Other attractions within the city include: Dome of Combat, Giant Bust of Odin, Hall of Heroes, Monument to the Unknown Warrior, Museum of Weaponry, Shopping Center,Temple of Titans, Warlock's Haven, Warrior's Walk, Yggasdral (Tree of Life) Monument

The Imperial Palace

In the heart of the Golden City sits the Imperial Palace of Asgard. Constructed by the greatest of Asgardian and Light Elf architects, out of the finest stones and precious metals, the Imperial Palace is the home of the present King or Queen of Asgard. There are countless hallways and chambers throughout the palace, as well as a formal Dining Hall and many other amenities. Several of the palace's chambers are home to the Asgardian Nobles who have chosen to reside within the Imperial Palace, a honor granted only to those gods who retain the most regal of positions.

The Throne Room - Valaskjalf

Valaskjalf ("the Shelf of the Slain"), more commonly simply the Throne Room, is one of Odin's two massive halls within the Imperial Palace where Hlidskjalf, or the High Seat, stands. From here Odin, or whomever presently rules Asgard, can see into all of the Nine Realms. The Throne Room is also where the King or Queen holds court, receives petitioners and employs official ceremonies. When the King or Queen is present, Imperials Guards stand throughout the Throne Room at all times. Anyone who is not the ruler of Asgard sitting on the High Seat is considered treason, which is punishable by death.

Garden of the Gods

The Garden of the Gods is a verdant expanse of flora and fauna found within the palace’s courtyard. Here flowers and fruits of all colors and exoticism grow year-round, and are pristinely maintained by the palace’s numerous servants. Asgardian Nobles living within the palace are often found wandering through the fabled gardens, enjoying the empyrean beauty of the golden sunlight cast upon the lush, green gardens. There are a number of benches and fountains throughout the gardens where its visitors can stop to relax. The Garden is also where all the fruits and vegetables eaten within the Imperial Palace are grown.

The Dungeons

Beneath the lowest floor of the Imperial Palace are the Dungeons. Here all of Asgard’s convicted criminals are held by their varying levels of offense. The highest levels of the Dungeons house the least dangerous criminals, while the lowest levels, some restricted to all but the ruling monarch and his or her court, contain the most treacherous threats to the Golden City. The entirety of the Dungeons are protected by powerful spells and enchantments to ensure the prisoners stay contained and ensure the guards stay safe.

The King’s Quarters

The largest and most opulent of the living chambers found within the Imperial Palace is the King’s Quarters. The chamber includes a spacious and ornately-furnished bedroom, living room with a small library, and a balcony overlooking the “Sea of Space” which Asgard floats on. It has housed all of Asgard’s rulers since the construction of the Imperial Palace, however the décor has varied throughout its different inhabitants. It is the most heavily guarded room in the palace, with several guards on constant watch.

Asgardian Gods

Asgardian Pantheon
Asgardian Pantheon

The Asgardian Gods are the divine inhabitants of Asgard. They maintain a strong visible resemblance to their mortal counterparts on Midgard, however are generally taller and possess several physiological differences.

Asgardians possess the standard physical attributes of: Superhuman strength enabling him to lift at least 30 tons, superhuman speed far superior to that of the finest human athlete, stamina enabling them to perform at their absolute peak for at least 24 hours before even starting to tire, superhuman reflexes greater than a human's, superhuman durability that allows them to withstand powerful impact forces, extreme temperatures and pressures, falls from great heights, energy blasts and high caliber bullets without sustaining injury; and finally, Asgardians' agility is also superhuman. Asgardians also possesses a regenerative healing factor, being capable of healing from injuries such as slashes and puncture wounds in a matter of hours, and mending broken bone within the day. They can't however, regenerate missing limbs or organs without magical assistance.

The Gods of Asgard are also granted certain mystical abilities that in the past have shown to get them the power to change their appearance, transform matter and wield a numerous amount of different energies. Though many Asgardian gods/goddess' have not shown the ability to wield any type of energy or shown any mystic abilities, these powers are inherent to all of their race.

These abilities are only typical of the average Asgardian. There are several other Asgardians who are born with physical attributes or abilities that exceed the conventional traits of an Asgardian.

Halls of the Gods

Many of Asgard's more legendary heroes and figures have their own halls throughout the realm. These halls include:

  • Bilskirnir - Thor's hall, located in a region of Asgard called Thrudvangar
  • Briedbalik - Balder's hall, meaning "Broad Splendor"
  • Glitnir - Forseti's hall, which has golden pillars and a silver roof. All those whom enter Glitnir leave with their legal disputes resolved
  • Sessrumnir - Freya's hall, which is so tightly constructed that Loki had to become a needle in order to sneak in. Half of all men slain in battle, and all woman so slain, come to Freya's hall
  • Fensalir - Frigga's hall. She spends her time either here or in Valaskjalf
  • Himinbjorg - Heimdall's hall, which stands next to Bifrost
  • Ydalir - Uller's hall

Other Halls

  • Gimli - Located in Asgard. it is considered the most beautiful building anywhere. Prophecy says all the gods would live there in peace after Ragnarok
  • Gladsheim and Vingolf - Two of Asgard's communal halls, where the gods assemble to discuss events and occasionally decide important issues

Valhalla

The Hall of the Honored Dead. Valhalla is home to all those slain in battle, the einherjar. It has five hundred and forty doors, each wide enough for eight hundred men to walk through shoulder to shoulder. The rafters are spears, the hall is roofed with shields, and breastplates litter the benches. A wolf guards the western door, and an eagle hovers over it. Every day the rooster Gullinkambi (Golden Comb) wakes the einherjar, and they venture out to fight each other in training for Ragnarok, the final battle. Every evening those killed in battle rise, whole and healed. They feast in the hall from the meat of Saehrimnir, a boar whose flesh renews every day, and mead from Hedirun, a goat that stands atop Valhalla chewing the leaves of the tree Laecrad.

Defenses

Imperial Army
Imperial Army

The Imperial Guard of Asgard maintain an idyllic level of peace throughout the city at nearly all times. They are warriors carefully selected and trained from birth to be master combatants. They are highly adept at utilizing both their inborn strength as well as any and all types of weaponry.

The weapons used by the Imperial Guard are all crafted on Nidavellir, a world below Asgard and home of the Dwarves, in the furnaces of Asgard. All of these weapons, forged with divine craftsmanship, are extremely durable and near indestructible.

Rules:

  • Anyone can create an Asgardian character and live on Asgard, however access inside the Imperial Palace must be requested
  • Mortal characters should have a purpose and means for visiting Asgard
  • No mass destruction without permission
  • Ask before using any of the legendary Norse gods such as Thor for NPC purposes
  • Any attack on Asgard should involve heavy selling of the Imperial Guard and their strength and combat skills
  • Take liberty with locations on Asgard. The more nameable places people interact in, the more in-depth the thread grows
  • PM Amora with any further questions

Amora sat blissfully under the golden sunlight that poured over Asgard nearly every day of the year, basking the entire city in heavenly light and enriching its idyllic energy. The light played gleefully with her silky strands of blonde hair, painting them with the same golden glow which it adorned everything it touched, including the blooming flowers of the Garden of the Gods in which she sat beside. The Gardens had been a favorite place of hers since she was a child, the quiet tranquility and breathtaking flora never failing to calm her mind and soothe her spirits.

The Enchantress' focus was devoted purely to the weathered-looking book in her hands. It was a story she had visited many times since the first days she could read. The worn pages told the story of a beautiful Asgardian woman, born to a common family and living as a servant to the Nobles within the Imperial Palace. The King quickly took notice of her, and the two fell madly in love. However the King betrayed her by marrying the daughter of another Noble family, leaving the woman heart broken and lonely. The story ends with the woman marrying the King's younger brother before murdering her old lover and becoming Queen of Asgard. It wasn't a popular Asgardian story tale, but it never ceased to interest and amuse Amora.

She found the solitary time much-needed after the tension she had received upon returning to Asgard. Her absence from the Golden City during its time of need amid Von Doom's siege had not gone unnoticed by her fellow gods, and while she had managed to quell their aggression with promises that her leave was for the benefit of the realm, it had not stopped many of the Nobles within the palace to treat her with cold shoulders. Left with little more than Valdar for company, Amora relished her moments of solitude within the Gardens to quietly collect her thoughts.

@amora:

An inborn warrior and nomadic soul, the popularly christened Norse Bison's absence from the celestial realm was felt. It was felt thousands of years ago during his self-embarked sabbatical, and it was felt when Asgard's finest, the gods' military fell to the forces of invading mortals. Sharing an almost apathetic relationship with the Nine Worlds' most deistic constituent, Rasi's concern for the present state of his fellow gods and goddesses was virtually nonexistent. His concern however, for the sullied reputation, the tarnished image of the Norse Pantheon following a most humiliating defeat, was evident, evident in his inherent indignation, roused enough to warrant his long predicted return to the home of the Norse Gods of Old.

At over eight hundred pounds of pure, celestially gifted muscle, and standing at nearly seven feet tall, Rasi was an overtly intimidating figure, large even by Asgardian standards. His unblemished, though partially stoic features betrayed no emotion. His poised disposition doing well to veil his irritation with the militaristic and tactical incompetence of his people during an attack that they should have wrestled into a slaughter. Guiding himself with bold footsteps of telling composure and unwavering self-certainty, the Asgardian's vibrant, crystal blue eyes tersely rested on the sight of lounging deities in the Garden of the Gods. Among them, the enthralling Amora, as lethal and cunning as she is alluring. Fixated on the objective of forcefully taking over the Asgardian Military and reshaping 'pups' into the 'wolves' of divine legend, Rasi quietly seated himself on a stony bench, mentally conceptualizing the following steps to his goal.

@norse_nomad: Her emerald irises flickered only momentarily from her pages, but long enough to catch a glimpse of a figure she had long believed she would never see again. Setting her book aside she gazed in shock at the Nordic Wolf, who had abandoned the City of the Gods thousands of years ago.

Amora suspected she knew the reasoning behind his return, and she knew it would align perfectly for her plans to come. Rising gracefully from her stone seat with a cunning gleam in her eyes, the Enchantress paced alluringly toward the hulking god.

"Rasi," she smiled pleasantly, "I must say, I didn't believe I'd see you in Asgard again." As she spoke, she turned to examine the flourishing hydrangeas growing near the bench he sat on. Her fingers brushed gently against their velvety petals, each one as lush and vibrant as the one before. "I take it word of Asgard's embarrassing defeat at the hands of a glorified mortal has reached your ears?" she asked nonchalantly while continuing to admire the Garden's flowers.

"You know, Rasi, now that you've returned, I believe there's a way we can ensure shame never come to Asgard again," she said, her tone delicately changing to that of an offhanded observation. She wanted to make her proposition one of subtle implication, rather than a blatant revelation of her plot.

Stepping away from the hydrangeas she looked back at him, her green irises meeting his gaze with an inviting gleam. "Join me with a stroll through the Gardens as we talk? I'm sure you'd love the views after being away for so long."

@amora:

From his relaxed, seated position, the nomadic god's incandescent, cerulean eyes succinctly surveyed his immediate encompassment, taking in the sight of lazy deities, lounging demigods, blissfully dismissive of their telling loss to a... mortal. The thought almost disgusted him. Defeat at the dirty, soiled hands of a mortal, no better than an animal, an untamable beast of unpredictable qualities. And then, again they spotted her. Amora. This time however, the entrancing goddess strode towards him, the sensual beguilement in her steps an almost palpable trait. Austerely meeting hers with his own, their poise and collected visage speaking volumes of both his patrician character, and his intrinsic authoritative disposition.

Reciprocating her smile with a mild, cordial inclination of the head, Rasi began, the deep registers of his voice accompanying it's profound bass. "And I didn't believe I would see Asgard brought to it's knees by an animal", he stated quite bluntly. "Aye. The mortals sing their songs about Asgardians claiming false divinity. This defeat has tarnished our image. And the other pantheons, they mock us". And then, with a captivating implication, she seized his attention. A way to ensure that such shame never came to Asgard again? How could he refuse? When he departed, when he forsook the City of Gods and the pantheon, he left with pride in his people and city, pride he was convinced could never be stripped from an Asgardian warrior. Pride that had dissipated since Asgard's defeat. Pride he now wanted back.

For that moment, with his eyes transfixed on hers, subtle scintillation, a quiescent indication of his genuine intrigue as the most minuscule of curls on his mouth's edges tersely took over. Rising from his bench, standing to his full height, Rasi coolly nodded, "Very well, Amora", and waited for her to commence their stroll.

@norse_nomad:

She guided him languidly through the lush gardens, with no particular destination in mind. She listened passively as the Norse Nomad expressed his passionate disdain for the failure of their people, an opinion Amora, if not so vocally, shared. His words reinforced the goddess' faith that Rasi was a man she could rely on to share her profound distaste for mortals. A distaste that would make weaving him into support of her actions almost effortless.

"An animal indeed, Rasi," she agreed effectively, never faltering in her display of enthusiasm for his opinions. "And a rather dull animal at that. This is not the first time Asgard has suffered defeat, however, immortality allows us to lick our wounds and continue to thrive, in time. Midgard and its mortals cannot say the same," she said with a hint of malice, intended to entice her companion's desire to punish the mortal who tarnished the honor of Asgard.

As they walked several butterflies danced beside Amora, their vibrant wings darted near the radiant goddess before fluttering away again.

"Which is why, in the ashes of our defeat, we must rise like a phoenix, burning stronger and more brilliant than ever before. And with the flames of our resurrection we shall incinerate the mortal worm who thought foolishly enough to challenge the gods. I intend to return the honor Asgard lost in tenfold," she explained with a cool confidence in her demeanor, the emotion behind her speech carefully concealed by her perfected layer of apathy. She had stopped walking now, and moved to position herself face-to-face with the Herculean god. She needed to present her designs in a way that would attract Rasi's assistance, without revealing to him the entirety of her intentions. Not yet, anyway.

"With Odin dead and Kiros in Odinsleep, Asgard is in need of a ruler who can rebuild the unequaled honor we have lost. Piece by piece, victory by victory, I intend to bring Asgard more glory and pride than it has ever known before. But I'll need your help," she paused to resume their stroll, continuing to speak as they ambled. She was careful not to appear overly interested in taking the throne for herself, rather, compelling him to believe she was simply interest in the greater good of Asgard. "Most of Asgard is displeased with me for my absence during the war. However the people of Asgard respect you, and will value your opinion. I need you to ensure their good graces, so that I will have the support of the realm when I take action against the mortal who dared mock Asgard. This support includes yours, Rasi. I need to know whether or not you'll stand beside me, should my actions against this mortal fool, and for preservation of Asgard, require assistance."

@amora:

Though intrinsically dominated by his inborn warrior spirit, a renown Asgardian noble, Rasi still, as per his regal instincts, adhered to certain patrician customs and mannerisms. The most prominent being his footsteps, two feet behind Amora, his towering, hulking frame followed, luminous, azure eyes aloofly surveying their floral encompassment. "Indeed, they cannot", he agreed, the powerful bass of his voice edging with reciprocating malice, "I was there for the birth of the first mortal. I intend to be there for the last mortal's death". His words, though partially cryptic, perfectly conveyed his sentiments, he cared little for the moral ambiguity of what was to come, so long as vengeance could be his, he would do what was necessary, no matter what would exactly prove to be 'necessary'.

"In order to retain Asgard's honor, more than the strengthening of it's military forces must be accomplished", the implications of his words evident to one as perceptive as the entrancing sorceress in his company. "The nobles, the royal family. They've grown fat, and lazy. Content in their mediocrity. They have no ambition. They have no desire for honor", the Nordic Wolf paused, "There is no place for them in an ideal Asgard", he stated quite bluntly. Temperately nodding, Rasi civilly met the Enchantress' malachite eyes. "I will assist you. So long as you assist me. And these people, heh, I do not have their respect. I have something more reliable, something more powerful", he paused, "Their fear".

@norse_nomad: In truth, Amora had never spent much time, if any, thinking about the enigmatic Norse Wolf. He had forsaken the City of the Gods so long ago Amora could hardly remember a time he had lived among them, and as for where he traveled during the past centuries, she hadn't bothered to learn. But as she strolled languidly through the Gardens with the mighty warrior and listened to his baleful words for the human race, it quickly dawned on the mischievous sorceress just how useful an ally the god could prove.

She let out a light chuckle at his disdain for the Nobles of Asgard, despite being one of them herself. She had always known the importance of showering her allies with honey rather than vinegar. Her enemies she merely showered with fire.

"Well, Rasi, we are currently far from an ideal Asgard,"she commented coolly, taking several paces forward to rub her finger against the delicate petals of a pristine coral-colored rose. It grew more vibrant and more luxuriantly than any of the perfect roses surrounding it, and Amora couldn't help but appreciate its beauty. She related to it.

"But I believe, together, we can get there,"she said after turning around to face Rasi once more, the corners of her pillowy lips turned upward in a charming smile, filled with pleasantry but not warmth.

Approaching her companion and taking his large hands in her own lithe ones, she tilted her her back just enough to look up into his eyes, her smile now slightly more genuine than before."Come, Rasi, you've been gone for so long. Let me show you the Palace's spoils you've been missing all this time."

@amora:

Issuing a cordial nod of social congruence with regards to Amora's remark about Asgard not presently fitting their collective criteria for an ideal version, Rasi replied, his left hand maintaining a mild grip over his Ulfberht's hilt. "Indeed we are, Amora. Quite far from it". Regally meeting the enthralling charm of her smile with reduced facial stoicism, and a conservatively sociable gaze, his broad voice conveying his innate contentment with the alluring Enchantress' palpable ambition. "We will", he assured, a measured combination of boldness and self-assured aspiration lacing his tone. The Nordic Wolf would get what he desired, nobody would stop him, that much was evident in his ambitious disposition.

Taciturnly allowing the deistic sorceress to take his rough, calloused hands into hers, her unblemished, lotioned skin touching the rougher texture of his, the Asgardian Bison returned her engrossing smile and offer with a quiescent gaze of temperance prior to genteelly nodding his head with expressed gratitude, "Very well. Lead the way. You have my gratitude".

Proelius touched down in Asgard, his grey eyes sweeping over the city. He strode down the route into Asgard, the great Bifrost Bridge, at a brisk pace.

@the_roman: Amora's innate connection to mystic energies immediately alerted her to the unique trace of a Roman deity, a presence exotic but not entirely unalike from the Asgardian gods' own. The similarities and differences between the various pantheons of the world were complex and abstruse, the specifics of divinity mostly misunderstood by even the gods themselves. It was uncommon for figures from differing pantheons to interact, however it did happen on rare occasions. Today seemed to be one of these occasions, and Amora was intent on discovering the Roman visitor's prerogative.

Enveloping her body in a cloud of swirling pink smoke, she vanished from her hall within the palace before reappearing in the same mass of mystic energy upon the Bifrost Bridge, only several paces away from the Roman guest. She approached him without hostility or cordiality, her demeanor lukewarm as she spoke.

"Welcome to Asgard, Roman. What brings you to the Golden City?"she asked curiously.

@amora: Proelius stared at the Asgardian with an analytical gaze. "Lord Jupiter sends his kind regards. Sort of a diplomatic mission really. My father's doing it to spite me, I think. I despise negotiation."

@winter_wolf: Amora stood alone on the balcony of her royal bedchamber, her mind swirling with as many clusters of asteroids and shooting stars as the endless Sea of Space which she gazed out upon. The celestial ribbons of light which adorned the infinite blackness provided the meditative goddess an ethereal and captivating sight to indulge her eyes while her mind focused on matters both on Asgard and on worlds floating somewhere within the enchanting speckles of stardust.

Since attaining that which she had desired for so long, and plotted and deceived to achieve, Amora couldn't help but wonder when she could sit atop Hlidskjalf without worry of having it suddenly and uncontrollably torn from her grasp. She had worked tirelessly to gain the respect and admiration of the inhabitants of the City of the Gods, knowing these were necessary for any ruler who planned to keep their throne, and with her military legion standing behind her, without a formidable equal, Amora had but one threat that managed to continuously find its way into the back of her conscious: von Doom.

However matching the unequaled allure of her appearance and sovereign prowess in the mystic arts was the Enchantress' innate wit and cunning. The regal seductress, renowned for her compelling words and silver tongue, had been born with an understanding for how to manipulate and control the strings of the world around her, allowing her to hold present and future events in the palms of her delicate hands. And this she relied on faithfully to bring her peace against her war against the mortal tyrant.

In the silence of her solitude, she heard the tentative footsteps behind her before the voice that followed.

"Your Grace," the respectful tone of one of the Palace's servants addressed Amora, speaking out of turn only to gain the gazing queen's attention. Turning her golden head back to meet the servant's eyes, Enchantress tilted her subtly to grant him permission to continue.

"The Winter Wolf has arrived at the Imperial Palace. She awaits you in the Throne Room," he relayed obediently, asking if his queen required any more assistance and only leaving her presence after his services were denied.

Turning away from her perch Amora passed through her quarters to meet Valdar, who had been guarding protectively, at the entrance to her bedchamber before striding, with him several paces behind, toward the palace's Throne Room.

Her blonde hair fell in tousled waves around her heavenly face, several strands wrapping in subtle braids that met behind her head. Her attire had been, as all her gowns were, hand-crafted by the most talented tailors found on Asgard. Its fine ivory cloth was adorned with intricately-understated floral trims, and embellished with countless glistening crystals that seemed to catch every sparkle of light as she walked into the Throne Room to greet the Winter Wolf.

"Ysolde. It's good to see you," she welcomed, the corners of her lips turning upward in an affable smile. The goddess moved to relax casually within Hlidskjalf, the dignity in her presence slightly tainted by her flirtatious arrogance.

"It's been quite some time."

@amora: (The best posts are those posts with that unstoppable flow)

The palace guards had learned long ago not to even attempt disarming the Winter Wolf, as it was an exercise not only in humiliation, but in futility as well. Ysolde was a weapon herself, but she also held treasured to her the weapons that she carried, and refused to let them out of her sight, let alone allow another to touch them. No, she would be dead before that happened.

Clad in worn leather pants and a red tunic that was sculptingly fitted across the lithely muscled physique of her body, the wild warrior had dressed up as much as she, or any other, was comfortable seeing her, in an attempt to afford Amora a small consideration towards her current stature and position, something she would have done for no other.

Ysolde had no trust for the crown, no trust for anybody, and hadn't for centuries. She had spent too much time on her own, in the wilds of Asgard with no company but her pack and the deaths of the Dark Elves she voraciously hunted and killed with a passion and vigilance that put the rest of Asgard to shame.

But here she was, standing in the throne room just like any other subject would have. Hair as raven black as the depths of midnight framed her face, wild waves accented by thin braids. "And you, Amora." The smallest of smiles graced pale pink lips as she bestowed Amora a look of genuine kinship, as close as Ysolde was capable of coming to friendship after years of nothing but ice in her heart. In truth, Amora had been one of a select few who had any contact with the fabled warrior of the wild, a sighting of her within the walls of the city was a rare thing indeed.

"It has, at that." She knew every day that passed, tracked it through an unerring internal clock utilized for a various myriad of applications. Uncannily hued silver eyes darted quickly around the room. Not out of suspicion, but out of good-natured restlessness. Ysolde had an abhorrent hatred of being cramped indoors for too long, uncomfortable with almost any locale aside from the icy tundra-like climes of the outer wilds she inhabited. "Things have changed a bit since my last visit." Things would change in the centuries since last she had been inside the city, even in a land where time passed as slowly as this realm. She shot a pointed look around the room, impressed but not at all surprised by Amora's ascension. It had been only a matter of time.

"Is there a reason I'm here?" Cutting to the chase as always, with little need for niceties or airs. Ysolde rubbed her palms lightly against the thighs of her pants, a subconscious gesture indicating her discomfort.

@winter_wolf: Enchantress had first met the fierce and enigmatic Winter Wolf millenniums ago in the same place they spoke now, the Imperial Palace. Amora's noble birth and Ysolde's own eminent parents had garnered both women plenty of time within the palace during their adolescence, and their paths had crossed during one the countless events held within the grand palace walls. Now, Amora remembered little of this encounter, having been but a teenager the hundreds of millenniums ago when it happened, but the memory of Ysolde's parents still burned bright within her mind.

Amora's innate haughty disposition had reserved her respect for next to no one but herself. Odin had been one of these select few, and so had Ysolde's parents. The stories of their victories for Asgard had reached the ear of every god throughout the realm during their life, and the glory of their prestige in battle and unmatched honor had continued on for eternity after their death. The dynamic duo of warriors had brought a golden era of peace and safety to Asgard during their leadership of the Imperial Guard, dedicating their lives to the fight against threats like Frost Giants and Dark Elves. But it had been a far less renowned battle, before the birth of the Winter Wolf herself, that had immortalized Amora's respect for Ysolde's parents.

As a young girl, having been one of the last Asgardians born during the first era of Aesirs, Amora was quick to discover her innate talents for the mystic arts. As a child she began training with Karnilla, the sorceress Queen of Nornheim and enemy of Asgard, and was clearly a prodigy from the start. This effortless understanding and raw power for magic only fueled Amora's inborn ego, and the young goddess did not doubt in the greatness of her sorcery. This confidence caused her to stray from the protection of the Golden City and into the wilds of Asgard in search of ways to challenge her magic abilities.

Out in the wild Amora had little difficulty using her sorcery to defeat small animals and travelers, which only helped inflate her adolescent sense of arrogance. Until she wandered across the path of an invading group of Frost Giants. Amora fought with what little magic she had learned, but fell quickly to the enemies of Asgard's strength. Just before the Giants had delivered what would have been a fatal blow to the young sorceress, Ysolde's parents appeared to defend Amora. They were vastly outnumbered and without any soldiers behind them, but the valiant warriors fought, a long and arduous battle, until every Giant had been slain and they could return Amora to the safety of Asgard.

It had been Amora's first, and one of her only, lessons in humility. And it was one she had never forgotten.

Now she looked into the wild silver eyes of the warrior's daughter, whom she met again, more formally, many years after her disappearance into the same wilds which her parents had saved Amora from. The women's relationship since then had been a unique one, surpassing indifference but never crossing into the definition of conventional friendship. But they both existed, in their own respects, as outsiders amid Asgard - Amora due to her mischievous and often criminal activity, and Ysolde for her solitary lifestyle outside of the City of the Gods. For this, and Amora's secret history with Ysolde's parents, they both had given the other a fundamental level of admiration for the other, as well as unspoken respect.

Within Ysolde's silver irises, Amora could see, under the coldness of the Asgardian wilds which she lived, the same fearless honor that dwelled inside her parents' eyes.

"That they have," she said casually, opening her arms as if to gesture to the throne and palace which she now controlled. The mischevious light within the sorceresses eyes had dimmed while speaking with the Winter Wolf, and indication the words between them were more genuine. "But change is not always a bad thing. There are few gods which whom I hold in my esteem, but Odin was one of them. He kept Asgard golden for eons, and probably would have continued to do so for an eternity to follow. But now he is dead, and while a new leader was not preferable, it was necessary. And I have done my best to honor the Allfather since attaining the throne," she said, rising from Hlidskjalf and stepping down the small staircase which it rested on top of. A servant had brought the queen a tray with two goblets of wine on it, one which she took for herself, the other offered to Ysolde before she continued speaking.

"The city is flourishing, its people happy and its boundaries safe. Asgard is heading into a new era of prosperity. But we are not without threats. I am not without threats. And I need your unmatched skills by my side," she said solemnly, meeting Ysolde's silver eyes with an earnest gaze. Sipping on her wine the alluring goddess began returning to her throne, taking a seat once.

"I know you hold no allegiance to Asgard, and I do not wish to place you among the countless other standard members of the Imperial Guard. I believe your talents and fearlessness would be much more suited for more private matters, ones which I require someone with both unrivaled ferocity and the trust someone with your solitary lifestyle can guarantee. I will never give you orders, I will only ask your favor. But this position could grant you resources of your own. The palace has countless of the best weapons and armor found within the Nine Realms, and, more importantly, information on even the most obscure subjects. Including the Dark Elves," she explained, a subtle smirk and lifted eyebrow following her final words.

Standing up once more, her flowing hair cascading past her shoulders as she rose, Amora stepped to stand face-to-face with Ysolde, a courteous smile pulling gently at the corners of her lips.

"What do you say Ysolde, the Winter Wolf of Asgard. Can I count on your services?"
