Main Article: Sargasso, The Ever-Changing City

While the Roman Gods have made residence in The Ever-Changing City, other deities have ended up taking residence in settlements outside The City. Unlike the deities in The City, some of the Deities on the rest of Continent are a major member of their respective Pantheons, meaning they are much more powerful then the Minor Roman gods that exist in the city. And with each of these gods is their own following of blessed warriors and magicians.

And in this supplement we will focus on The Warriors of Freyja, the Norse Goddess of love, sex, beauty, fertility, gold, seiðr (Norse Magic), war, and death.

(---Valkyrie

A group of mostly female warriors who are the first to charge into battle, having received combat training from Freyja herself to allow them to not only be able to hold their own against threats that would effortlessly kill a normal human, but also take the souls of those who had fallen in battle to Freyja's transplanted home of Fólkvangr in her hall, Sessrúmnir. Though since getting more followers to replace the fallen is very difficult, The Valkyries take the injured to Sessrúmnir, where the other soldiers can be treated and be back on the battlefield in a matter of days or hours depending on the injury.

Freyja has allowed select members of The Valkyries and other warriors to stay among their communities to protect their homes from invading forces.

(---Runatyr

Named after Odin's title of "The God of Runes", Runatyrs are magicians who Freyja has taught to use the magic of seiðr, in the form of runes. Seiðr was usually used by women, but men are also able to learn how to use it themselves. They do this by wearing a special vambrace that has several stone squares etched with a specific rune attached to it. These stones can be touched in a certain order to activate a spell. These can vary from standard spells like fireballs and lightning, to defense oriented spells like a magic barrier. Though each rune has a set number of uses before it has to recharge, so Runatyrs have to be careful to not use their runes too many times in a row and not have a back-up spell at the ready.

(---Hrafnagud

Named after Odin's title of "The Raven God", These warriors are specialized in the use of a version of Freyja's Feather Cloak which grants the wearer the ability to fly, though these cloaks were made using raven feathers instead of those of a falcon like Freyja's. The Hrafnagud were mostly used for reconnaissance and message delivery, but when properly equipped, they can be used to drop explosives onto enemy targets from high above. Since a Hrafnagud's arms are used with their cloak to help with flying, they may not be able to do much in a dog fight besides trying to outmaneuver and escape an airborne enemy.

The Warriors Of Freyja are an awesome idea and an awesome concept and I'll be more than happy to use them! I can use them along with my version of Thor for the comic that I'll be doing for my own Superman-like original character and I might even use them in one of the solo-comics that I'll be doing for my version of Thor!

Great stuff!
