- ―A hunting log of the Bear of The Blue Waters.[src]
The Bear of The Blue Waters (Runic: ᛒᛁᛅᚱᚾ ᛒᛚᛅᚢᛅᛏᚾᛅ) was a legendary polar bear that lived in northern Hordafylke. A gigantic bear, this legendary animal was an anomaly, due to its size, when compared to the general population of polar bears in Norway.
History[edit | edit source]
In the 870s, Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan travelled around the region of Hordafylke. Along her journey, Eivor came across a hunting log, which gave an account of a "bear" that was told to be the offspring of an affair between Thor and Freyja. Eivor looked around the island of Bolrikbjorn, west of Helskip, and caught sight of the beast, which had arrows and a sword plunged into its back. Eivor looked closer, only to see broken-down longships near the island's shore and remnants of past failed battles near the animal itself. Upon entering its domain, Eivor startled the polar bear, which let out a heavy snarl before it began attacking the warrior. After a gruesome battle, Eivor killed the creature and collected its head as her prize.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The island the bear lives on has a limited supply of spare arrows to use or winter chanterelle and cloudberries with which to replenish Eivor's health, increasing the difficulty of the fight with the legendary creature.
