Angrboða

Angrboða was the name a Múspell took as she travelled England. At some point prior to 1189 she formed an alliance with the Ascian Lahabrea, and for unknown reasons developed an interest in the folk witch Torvi Ylvakrí, asking her friend and fellow folk wtich Arianne for her location whilst disguised as another of that ilk.

Angrboða was first encountered by the people of Sagehollow in the Autumn of 1192, where she attempted to perform a ritual at the Sherwood Irminsul - according to Torvi Ylvakrí, to help bring about Ragnarök. There, she had summoned several dozen undead, including a viking. After Arianwen was persuaded to oppose her, Tancred - despite his initial desire to allow her ritual to succeed - faced her champion and killed him, before being attacked by the other undead.

Arianwen and Torvi, alongside Adelaide, Bryne Vaughn and Osanna, defended themselves, whilst Angrboða conducted her ritual around it. At this point, the wild woman Chimi sneaked over to her and wrapped her in a bear hug, forcing the ritual to stop. After realising that Chimi was far more adept a grappler than herself, she took the form of a monstrous flying serpent and attempted to fly away.

She did not account for the tenacity of Chimi, however, who continued to cling on, eventually prying a scale loose from her hide. Angrboða in desperation to escape flew through the trees around the Irminsul to shake her free and then fled.

In the summer of 1193, she aided Lahabrea in his attempts to gain the throne of the Isle of Man in disguise, in order to wage war with the Christian world and likely to raise the ire of the Order of Hermes. This would lead to the destruction of the Norse Pagans on the Isle (Angrboða's desire) and significant damage being done to the Order of Hermes (Lahabrea's).

To this end, using Torvi's name and a length of her hair, Angrboða controlled Torvi to get a private audience with Lahabrea's political rival and kill him, leaving Torvi to take the blame. This, however, was thwarted by the magically-sensitive Chimi encountering her and racing to Torvi's defence, initiating a pitched battle between the people of the Isle and Angrboða's undead.

Chimi again proved herself the bane of Angrboða, by tackling her in another hug, and at the advice of Thormund Odinson, prying a heart from her grip and destroying it, which ended her magic. She was then beset by both Chimi and Osric before she could escape, with Chimi eventually dealing a killing blow.
