Malvigr was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Basim Ibn Ishaq in 2020 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5, in which a vision of one of Odin's memories could be seen.
Description[]
Havi set out to find a Jotun applicant for the Salakar.
Dialogue[]
Havi travelled to the Jordeygr Shelter to ask the dwarves about any Jotun warrior within Svartalfheim.
- Havi: I wonder which of these dwarves can help me find a suitable Jotun? Perhaps if I listen to their chatter, some font of wisdom will reveal itself. I should return to the shelter. Perhaps the dwarves there can aid me in finding a Jotun worthy of the Salakar.
Havi arrived at the shelter and met with Brammer and Lom.
- Brammer: Come to humiliate us some more?
- Havi: Help me, and I'll compose you a saga so exalted it will endure Ragnarök itself.
Lom shook his head.
- Havi: But first... I need a name and a place.
- Brammer: For what?
- Havi: For whom. The mightiest Jotun in all of Svartalfheim.
- Brammer: We know the one. Right hand of Suttungr... Malvigr.
- Lom: Here because of us.
- Havi: She is... worthwhile.
- Lom: Gave your son Vidar quite the beating once, didn't she?
- Havi: One day, Vidar will make me proud. But why would Malvigr care about you two?
- Brammer: 'Brammer' and 'Lom' aren't our real names. Allow me to introduce... Fjalar and Galar.
Havi looked puzzled.
- Brammer: The one who 'killed' Suttungr's father?
- Havi: I heard something about him trying to out-drink a couple of dwarves? And after, befuddled, tripping and breaking his neck?
- Brammer: Suttungr wasn't happy. Held us responsible. But luckily we'd acquired some mead, some special mead, and well, Suttungr is partial to a bit of mead. We bartered it in exchange for our lives. Except afterwards, some thieving twat went and stole it!
Havi looked away to allay suspicion from himself but pretended to be deep in thought.
- Havi: Loki, most likely. It's always Loki.
- Brammer: Whoever it was, Suttungr didn't catch them. So he decided to take it out on us instead. Sent Malvigr to hunt us down. Been incognito ever since. Can't trust this lot not to sell us out.
- Lom: Still, she hasn't found us yet.
- Brammer: She will. Malvigr's dangerous prey. Even for you... But we can help balance the scales. Our old house north of here. Sunk in a lake. Inside, upstairs on a table, you'll find a cup of great potency.
- Lom: Cup?
- Brammer: You know. The cup?
- Lom: Oh yes. The cup.
- Brammer: Has the power to do wonderful stuff. For instance—
- Havi: So I bring you the cup. And then?
- Brammer: We show you how to use it against Malvigr.
- Havi: It's a deal.
Havi left as Brammer and Lom talked further.
- Brammer: Face it, Lom, no one wants to hear our saga.
- Lom: What? But we're Giant-killers!
- Brammer: Shh, keep it down. You know we can't sing of that. Not even here.
- Lom: Why not?
- Brammer: We've got a price on our heads, remember?
- Lom: Well, I'm getting tired of all this pretending.
- Brammer: You won't be so brave if you-know-who finds us. She'll rip our lungs out through our arses. No, no... best let our saga die if it means we get to live a little bit longer.
Havi traveled and arrived at their house in Gapihus.
- Havi: This is the place. The old home of Brammer and Lom. Or whatever they're called. I should find a way inside. Looks like I'll be getting my toes wet.
Havi went inside the house by swimming underwater, as the house was halfway sunk. Havi looked around and found a letter.
Dufr's Heartfelt Plea to King Hreidmar
- Your Majesty,
The dam crew showed up at our village today and told us we've got to evacuate since they'll be releasing the waters in the coming days.
We couldn't reason with them, so now we are at your mercy.
Our whole lives are here and we are being asked to just leave everything behind!
They called us idiots for building the village in front of the dam wall, but we can't just move everything out of the way.
So I beg of you, Your Majesty, to find it in your heart... (the rest is smudged)
Havi went upstairs and looked for the cup.
- Havi: This wondrous cup of theirs, it should be on the table over there.
Havi checked the table.
- Havi: Nothing... Perhaps someone has already been here and stolen it. Assuming there was a cup in the first place...
While inside, Havi heard the boasts of a Jotun warrior from outside. Going to check, Havi found a trio of warriors waiting for him.
- Jotun Warrior 1: 'High One'? More like 'Feeble One'! Malvigr has trained us well! You have no hope! Might as well give up, you one-eyed fart!
Havi fought and defeated the warriors as another hid from the conflict.
- Jotun Warrior 2: It was the dwarves! They sent us a fast raven telling us you'd be here! They say you are the most merciful of all the Æsir.
Havi confronted the surrendering Jotun.
- Jotun Warrior 2: It's best to leave one of your enemies alive, so they can tell of your greatness!
- Havi: Everyone knows of my greatness.
- Jotun Warrior 2: Perhaps there are one or two who have not yet heard?
- Havi: Just tell me where Malvigr is.
- Jotun Warrior 2: What... what's in it for me?
- Havi: I do not know. But I will tell you this. The longer you make me wait, the worse it will be.
- Jotun Warrior 2: (sigh) Malvigr is at the dam to the west. And now? Will you spare me?
- Havi: Until next we meet.
- Jotun Warrior 2: There will be no 'next'. You can be sure of that.
Havi headed and traveled to the dam Gomul-stifla in Vangrinn.
- Havi: These rugged views... they remind me of when I once roved the land with Frigg. The cool night spent together beneath the stars. She enjoyed the solitude as much as I. And the trouble and danger even more. And then came the war with the Vanir. Taking Freya as my bride, it helped end that strife. But it ended many other things too.
Havi saw the dam in the distance.
- Havi: There is the dam. But this tempest... it is... unnatural.
Havi came closer.
- Havi: What trickery is this?
Havi came to find the dead bodies of Brammer and Lom.
- Havi: So, the traitors have been betrayed...
Havi inspected Brammer dead on the ground and Lom hanged. Meanwhile, Malvigr showed up behind Havi.
- Malvigr: They had hope by serving you up, I would show them mercy. Clearly a misapprehension on their part.
- Havi: Yet here I am... served up.
Malvigr teleported closer.
- Malvigr: If I were here for you, High One, I would have brought an army. No, Suttungr will have his vengeance. But not here.
Malvigr clapped her hands and lessen the snowstorm.
- Malvigr: I know why you have come.
- Havi: ...I have a bone to pick with you. After what you did to my son, Vidar, I must—
- Malvigr: Vidar put up an honorable fight.
- Havi: That is not what I heard.
- Malvigr: Do not believe the stories.
Malvigr teleported a bit further away.
- Havi: Upon his return, too weak to stand, he squirmed like a worm caught in the sun.
Malvigr laughed.
- Malvigr: You should have seen me. My acolytes had to carry me home on their backs... No, your boy fought well.
- Havi: Is that why you spared his life?
- Malvigr: It is... But you aren't here to avenge Vidar's honor. You have come to steal my hugr... and I intend to stop you.
- Havi: How do you know this?
- Malvigr: Æsir, Jotun... You and Loki are both mad. And Hyrrokin is just as bad. And Thor is so stupid he might as well be mad. You spread chaos wherever you go... yet you are all known quantities to us. Surtr is not. He rarely emerges from Muspelheim, and when he does, he shares little with us. Thus, while here, I have sent my spies to learn what he plans. Beyond wiping out the dwarves like he did the elves of Alfheim.
- Havi: What do you know of his plans?
- Malvigr: I know that he found a powerful elven relic. And that his minion, Calder, was tasked with finding the hugrs necessary to sustain it. That Calder is now trapped within said relic. And that you would have me join him.
- Havi: I must trade the Salakar for my son.
- Malvigr: You, the one who almost killed Suttungr for his mead, will hand over a legendary relic, take your son, and leave? Just like that?
Both began laughing.
- Havi: (laugh)
- Malvigr: (laugh) Put your mania aside, Havi. Work with me. Together we will foil Surtr's ambitions.
- Havi: I cannot take the risk... With each breath, Baldr is a step closer to death.
- Malvigr: I was a parent once... but we must look beyond ourselves. For the good of all.
- Havi: We have spoken long enough.
- Malvigr: So be it.
Immediately, an arena of ice was created as more of Malvigr's acolytes came to fight besides her. The fight commenced between Havi and Malvigr.
- Malvigr: Come! Inflict a fate worse than death on me. Or die trying.
The fight continued.
- Malvigr: Nicely done! Impressive footwork. Should I prevail, I must adapt some of these maneuvers for my own use. That was sloppy, Havi! Keep focused! This is a fight to the death, not a lovers' tiff!
Havi soon defeated Malvigr in combat.
- Malvigr: You are the greater warrior... but this is not the right result. Do what you came here to do! Get on with it, Blind One! End my misery!
Malvigr sat upright and injured.
- Malvigr: Oh Ymir, true All-Father, my body comes to you, sent by the same imposter who claimed your own. As for my hugr ... do not weep for me.
Malvigr stood up.
- Malvigr: I do not deserve this.
- Havi: No... you do not.
Havi immediately used the Salakar on Malvigr and took her hugr, leaving her body behind.
- Havi: Malvigr was right... I must find out more about the Salakar Perhaps Hyrrokin...? But I've seen nothing of her since my arrival in Svartalfheim. That leaves Ivaldi... I must seek him out. Where was it? The old workshop ruins in Vangrinn? Yes, that is the place.
Outcome[]
Havi found and defeated Malvigr, the right hand of Suttungr, and took her hugr for the Salakar. He then immediately went to find Ivaldi to investigate the Salakar's uses further.
