Jormungandra

(a.k.a. The Golden Dragon)

Jormungandra is not the nicest deity. In fact one could say that she is prone to violence, has a bit of an issue with pride, and has the tendency to have her creed abused for evil purposes. However, she is also the goddess of wisdom and therefore is careful to maintain good relations to her fellows to not alienate them for good. Being a neutral being, Jormungandra does not care how one gains wealth or by what methods war is fought. A wise being, she usually does not support evil campaigns as they are usually wasteful and short lived.

Personal history

Born into existence with the original pantheon, Jormungandra was originally only the goddess of dragons, wealth and warfare. This combination was not the best because it produced a cruel being who only selfishly sought to fulfill her own desires. Soliana, the goddess of the sun and mercy was asked to speak to the dragon goddess and turn her from a destructive path. Nobody knows other than the two what happened in that confrontation, but afterwards the domain of wisdom was given (some say forced) onto Jormungandra to show her how shortsighted she was in the pursuit of power. With this revelation the dragon’s whole character changed as she developed into a more neutral being and saw the benefits of mercy, justice, and balance.
Since then, Jormungandra has owed the sun goddess a tremendous debt and honors her above all the others in the pantheon.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

• All things should be done with wisdom. Keep the future in mind, and how your actions reflect on you and those who follow you.
• Only the strong have a right to decide their future. Develop and improve yourself to protect your interests. Flee those who refuse to fight to protect their people or money as they will be eaten by the strong.
• Use all resources at your disposal. Those who waste time, money, intelligence, or lives are to be despised.
• Be one who creates, not one who simply consumes.

Likes & Dislikes

Jormungandra is very fond of cats which is funny because they are lazy creatures that sleep all day but she claims that the way they manipulate people into taking care of their needs is “masterful” and in line with her creed. Her favorite foods is spicy barbecue

Social

Contacts & Relations

Jormungandra has had dealings with all the deities in the past and has a debt to the goddess of the sun and seeks to restore her to her proper place. She dislikes the new pantheon as being usurpers who have not dealt with their domains responsibly and must be replaced if the world is to be set right. (If there is a god of pacifism like, no violence whatsoever, she would be strongly opposed to them and would have enmity with them).
