Gorm Kjotvesson, also known as the Keel, was the elder brother of Hrolfr[2] and son to Kjotve the Cruel. A Maegester of the Order of the Ancients' Warden of War, Gorm was involved in a project for the Order called Vinland.[3]
Biography
In 872, Gorm attended an althing called by Harald Fairhair in Alrekstad, and despite his unwelcome presence, tried to swear fealty to Harald. When his offer was rejected, he accused Eivor Varinsdottir of poisoning Kjotve, denying him the glorious death for entry into Valhalla. However, this was proven false by Harald himself, who said that his uncle Guthorm had seen Kjotve's death firsthand. He invited Eivor to decide Gorm's fate, and as punishment, he was renamed "Worm" and exiled on pain of death.[4]
By 873, Gorm had joined his father's branch of the Order of the Ancients and rose through its ranks, becoming its Maegester. During his tenure as Maesgester, Gorm came into possession of a Crystal Ball that spoke to him. Following directions given through the artifact by the Isu Juno, Gorm brought the artifact to Vinland. Gorm and his men sought to acquire the Grand Temple the Crystal Ball directed them to and brought slave laborers to work in camps in pursuit of it. Gorm's old rival from Norway, Eivor, tracked Gorm to Vinland with help of the Hidden One Hytham.[5] There, she infiltrated Gorm's camp and killed him, whereupon she experienced a vision in which Gorm was condemned to "fade to mist [and] be forgotten" for eternity in Niflheim.[6] With Gorm dead, Eivor recovered the artifact and returned it to its rightful owners, the Kanien'kehá:ka of Karonhiakèn:iate'.[7]
