Religion & Remembrance

It is said that with Ymir's dying breath, he released the most powerful of all his magical creations: the Rites to Glorified Remembrance. This formed the basis for a peculiar tradition on Fjalltin, that of Jotunn Worship. The devout believe that the amber statues of fallen heroes contain the power of the the glorified hero. Until the Sjauhermaðr's ascension, no mortal had achieved Glorified Remembrance.

Torbjorn the Temporal believes that the party witnessed the next mortal ascend into Glorified Remembrance when Hagi, famed protector of Grenor Glað, threw himself in front of the lightning bolt hurled at king Ymirniðr.

Unlocked Insight
Upon witnessing Hagi's death and ascension, Torbjorn had the following insight:

''Ymir’s beloved, Tyr, is believed to be the Jotunn responsible for determining whether an individual achieves a state of remembrance or less desirable outcomes. To achieve Glorified Remembrance is believed to be the equivalent to gaining immortality, and thus even in death, Tyr’s spirit is able to continue honoring those whose lives are devoted to a singular purpose. You believe you’ve just witnessed the rarest of events: the moment of a mortal’s ascension to something far greater, a timeless spirit encased in a living statue.''
