Signar's Saga

Freyr


Freyr is the god of sun and rain, and the patron of bountiful harvests. He is both a god of peace and a brave warrior. He is also the ruler of the elves. Freyr is the most prominent and most beautiful of the male members of the Vanir. He once possessed a sword that would emerge from its sheath by itself and spread a field with carnage whenever the owner desired it. However, Freyr gave this sword away to his servant Skirnir.
