The Giants of Fimbulwinter was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
Havi encountered two Jötnar who were the source of the blizzard in Jötunheimr.
Dialogue
Having met with Gunlodr and discussed her work, a blizzard took hold and began plaguing Utgard. He overheard some jötnar men discussing it.
- Jotun 1: When will these damned snows end?
- Jotun 2: When your damned complaining does.
He heard another muse on its possible source.
- Jotun 3: No blizzard has ever blown so long. This reeks of sorcery.
Havi climbed a mountain path to a summit overlooking the city, which appeared to be the source of the blizzard's winds. He approached two jötnar channeling magic through a runestone on the peak.
- Havi: And here are the storm-bringers. Explain this mischief.
- Kala: This tempest is our vengeance.
- Vindr: Cold winds for a cold heart.
- Kala: Three times we asked for Gunlodr's hand! Three times we demanded she choose between us!
- Vindr: Three times my brother's hideous face drove her away.
- Kala: It's YOUR face, shit-wit! We're twins!
- Havi: You conjured this storm because your feelings were hurt?
- Kala: This storm is the storm that rages within us! The noble pain of those wronged in love!
- Havi: The lady said no. Move on.
- Kala: I don't like your tone, Aesir. You think you're better than us, just like she did. Maybe it's time to shut your mouth.
- Havi: Why don't you come and try?
The twins attacked.
- Kala: Utgard will be buried beneath the snows of our fury!
We will not stop til Utgard is no more!
Havi killed both brothers. With their deaths, the magic ebbed out of the runestone and the blizzard abated.
- Havi: The skies have cleared. The blizzard is over at last.
Later, Havi overheard some jötnar women gossiping about the incident at a tavern.
- Jotun 3: Did you hear? That blizzard was all on account of some angry suitors Gunlodr rejected.
- Jotun 4: Men! Do they ever really grow up, or do they just increase their ability to do damage?
He heard another complain about the loss of the snowblind.
- Jotun 5: O, It was so much easier to sneak around behind Grognir's back when you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Outcome
Havi defeated both Jötnar in battle after which the storm subsided.
Behind the scenes
Although the runestone will be covered in lightning if the player approaches, this memory is only available in earnest after the initial conversation with Gunlodr during A Feast to Remember. After walking outside with her, the telltale blizzard begins and the memory's symbol will appear on the map over the runestone, where the two brothers load into the game.
