Frigg was the goddess of marriage, motherhood, clairvoyance and prophecy in Norse mythology.
Mythology
Frigg was said to live in the wetland halls of Fensalir. She is often mentioned as the wife of Odin and one of the highest of the Æsir. In both the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda she was the mother of Baldr. In the Prose Edda, Loki tried to kill Baldr but was unsuccessful. After asking Frigg why no object could hurt her son, she explained that it was because all objects on Earth had taken an oath not to harm him, save for mistletoe, which either was deemed too unimportant to consider asking or was too young to swear an oath. With this knowledge, Loki immediately created a mistletoe arrow to kill Baldr, and tricked Baldr's blind brother Höðr into loosing it at him.[1]
Legacy and influence
Frigg had a totem named after her in the popular dice game Orlog. The piece "Frigg's Sight" would allow players to reroll a number of the opponent's dice. An Anglo-Saxon man in Folcanstan, Cent possessed the piece, which he gave to the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan after being defeated.[2]
Behind the scenes
Frigg is only mentioned in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla in the form of an Orlog piece, and as such it is unconfirmed if she is also an Isu. The character Freyja appears to be an amalgamation of the two goddesses as they share many similarities.
