Frigg

Frigg was an Asgardian Isu belonging to the group known as the Æsir. Lover of Odin and the mother of Baldr, she later became a widely revered god in both Germanic and Norse mythology as a goddess of marriage, motherhood, clairvoyance and prophecy.
==Legacy and influence==
Frigg had a totem named after her in the popular dice game Orlog. The piece "Frigg's Sight" would allow players to reroll a number of the opponent's dice. An Anglo-Saxon man in Folcanstan, Cent possessed the piece, which he gave to the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan after being defeated.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
===Eivor's visions===
During the 9th century, Eivor consumed psychoactive mixtures prepared by her clan's resident oracle Valka, which sent her on hallucinogenic visions where she explored mythical realms from as "Havi", subconsciously merging her Norse religious beliefs with the real genetic memories of Odin present within her DNA. Within these visions, Frigg was an important figure with the Æsir.
====Life and times====
Around the time of the , Frigg and the Asgardian leader Odin were lovers. Although their adventures across the Nine Realms were curtailed by the birth of their son Baldr, the boy was dearly loved. However, Odin sacrificed his relationship to establish peace with the Vanir through a political marriage to Freyja, the sister of Vanaheimr leader Freyr, prompting Frigg to leave Asgard with their child.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Dawn of Ragnarök – Database: Frigg
Years later, when Baldr came of age, Frigg sent him to Asgard, in order for him to be close to his father. She was then free to return to her adventurous ways. Frigg kept Odin in her heart but moved on.
After Odin returned to Asgard from his trips in Jötunheimr and imprisoned Fenrir permanently, he spoke to Freyja and pointed out that he had not seen Frigg in quite some time.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Cheating Fate
====Death====
When Baldr was kidnapped by the Muspel leader Surtr, she became enraged and sought to rescue her child in Svartálfaheimr with the help of Odin. The former lovers followed his trails to the ruined capital of the region, Eitri, where they found the place where he had been captured. Upon further investigation, they found a letter addressed to the Muspels where their son's only weakness, mistletoe, was provided to them by someone who knew it. After killing some of Surtr's soldiers, they reached the ruined residence of Hreiðmarr, former monarch of the Dwarves, then taken over by the Isu warlord and his wife. While Odin fought Surtr, she confronted Sinmara. Though the Æsir leader beat his opponent, the Muspel had soon recovered due to being unkillable, incapacitating Odin and leaving him unable to defend Frigg, who was killed by her adversary.
Her body was later taken to Feigardr, where it was placed next to her son Baldr's body and their bodies were posed like she was cradling him. It was later found by Odin, who became bereft at the conclusion that Baldr had been dead all this time, while Sinmara and her men surrounded him. Despite Eysa's attempt to save him, Odin quickly became enraged and took out her men. Chasing down Sinmara, he killed her and then mentally broke down in Feigardr's bottom cellar.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Dawn of Ragnarök – Pride of the Aesir
