Temple of Heimdall
The Temple of Heimdall was a temple dedicated to the Norse god Heimdall atop the Feiknstafir mountains in Norway.
History[]
At some point before 870, a secret hoard of treasure was housed at the temple, including an Apple of Eden.[1] Any other riches at the temple had been looted decades before.[2]
In 870 Kjotve the Cruel sent a group of warriors to find and retrieve the remaining riches at the temple, based on knowledge of his slave Gull. By then, Gull had willingly surrendered to Eivor Varinsdottir who she also led to the temple. Eivor and the warriors from the Wolf Clan fought, but was stabbed in the back by Gull.[2]
Bjarke Broadside tossed her off the temple, seemingly to her death. The weakened foundations shook, scaring Erland. Eivor took advantage of this to sneak up behind Bjarke and kill him before turning to fight Erland. He pushed her to the ground, allowing her to notice a painting of Himinbjörg on the wall, which she kicked it in.[1]
Behind the wall was a mountain of gold coins and other riches. Among these, a pedestal with an Apple of Eden. As Eivor reached for it, she was thrown to the ground again by Erland, claiming the treasure belonged to Kjotve. Eivor remarked that Kjotve was nowhere to be seen and kicked Erland off the treasure pile sending him and the other thugs through the weakened floorboards and to their death. The temple would keep falling apart, leading Eivor to choose to leave Gull and the Apple behind.[1]
