Riekr does not seem to be a figure derived from real-world [[Norse mythology]]. As the ''jötnar'' in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' are analogs of Isu represented as the [[Roman mythology|Roman gods]] from previous titles in the [[Assassin's Creed (series)|franchise]], she may have already been introduced under another name.
