Baldur
Baldur, Sometimes spelled as Baldr, Is the Aesir god of Light and Protection. Back in the day, Baldur was known as a knight in shining armor for the most part, Often being seen wearing Nordic plate armor and wielding a greatsword. At least, That's what he was known as. Nowadays nobody really worships Baldur as a god of a specific concept. Similar to Odin, Baldr is known for representing many things, And normally being worshipped for any one of them.
Now he is best known for being a wandering figure, Traveling Erethes and living the nomadic lifestyle. Sometimes in search of something, Other times being on a mission from Odin. Either way, Doing whatever he wishes at any given time. Built up resentment for both of his parents has caused him to search the earth for ways to rid himself of his enchantments. After millennia of doing so, He has grown quite restless and will often do things for the sake of relieving his boredom.
Since he was a baby, Baldur has had multiple enchantments placed onto him in the form of (most) tattoos on his body. These enchantments happen to give him several powers, But none as important to him as his invulnerability. Now don't get me wrong, It is not important to him because he prizes it. No, He despises this ability, Wishing nothing more than to rid himself of it as stated previously. Along with not being able to be hurt in any way, It also has the side effect of not allowing Baldur to feel any physical sensation. A curse that he has long resented his mother for, Even all these years later.
Baldur is also quite well known for being the Herald of Ragnarok, The Aesir's apocalypse event. It is said that once Baldur dies, So begins a three year long Winter. This "Winter" effects certain areas in different ways, Such as Drengrheim being so cold that even cold resistant creatures have a hard time surviving, While regions like Athrae may turn into desert. Nobody knows for sure what this may bring for the regions. But it is certain, After this winter ends, Ragnarok begins.
