Personal Details

It was a cruel fate that Lodurr should fade from memory. His part in the very creation of mankind was eventually attributed to other gods, and the brief mentions of him in ancient prose are widely misrepresented as actually being Loki or Frey.

He is remembered as little more than a footnote.

Some say he gifted Ash and Elm with blood and good looks... others with warmth. They're all wrong. The gift was really fire... life itself and the passion to live it.

Perhaps Loduur himself was consumed by that lust. He spent more and more time with the humans... eventually fading from the ancient epics altogether.

Old Lody... or Lody the Mad as some call him... has lived through millennia, though his mind has eroded and crumbled under the strain. Some days he doesn't even remember who he is, and can be found reveling in one vice after another. Other days he mourns everything he lost, and drowns his sorrows in a river of ale.

Sometimes... when he can be reminded of who he really is, that spark of adventure can be reignited. A glimpse of who he used to be will surface as he charges forward toward one heroic deed or another... for only through great achievement can he be restored to his rightful place among the other Aesir.
