Summary

"A divine warrior stands sentry before you blocking entry to Asgard. He gaze passes you as if you weren't there, although you get a feeling that he knew of your arrival even before you could have made the decision to approach. His white battle tested armor and powerful greatsword show his position as a warrior, although his stature glows of power."
