Alfarinn

One of the older heroes, descended from children of both Jorunn and Fafnir. She is the mother of many children, but famously only of daughters. She's at least 500 years old, but very strongly of divine blood, such that her apparent age is in her mid-thirties. She is usually found in a group of women, with one female child.

Alfarinn travels around, rarely settling anywhere for long. She's fond of nature and often winters in a forest in the southern lands where it is warmer. When the time comes for her to want another child she returns to civilisation and seeks out a deserving man to be the father of her next child. Once she's pregnant she returns to her nomadic ways with her daughters.

The daughters usually stay with their mother, although most will spend a decade or so exploring the world. A number of them have settled down in places with partners and raise their own families. Often though they end up back with Alfarinn.

Notable offspring include:

• alfinna
• noren
• amma - One of the early Board of Trade agents, killed in mysterious circumstances in 612.
