Andvett

Andvett is a celestial being formerly entombed within Blarakkerihaugr.

## History

Seemingly a legendary warrior of Ysgard, Andvett's name has been noted on a few occasions throughout history, the bulk of such tales detailed within the Verse of Andvett. It was said that the Brass Dragon Avoles possessed a glimmering mithral axe containing the spirit of Andvett, and likewise research into the Wayfinder Stones seemed to show Astedian arcanists travelling to Ysgard to converse with the being, although it remains uncertain whether in either instance whether Andvett was actually present - given that his body was seemingly entombed within Blarakkerihaugr during both of these timeframes.

### The Verse of Andvett

*Herein rests one resolve, against wind and flame clash,*

*Though defeat came from time, with morn rise and axe slash.*

*In war of Dawn’s begin, called to guard soil and stone,*

*With ally, against foe, for glory, not hope of throne.*

*At breaking of bright shield, when sardony fell from high,*

*Angels and winged serpents, en masse to block out sky.*

*Baator and Chaos Mad, remain, dominion seek,*

*And unto nature turn, to stop Elder’s harm wreak.*

*But while tethers still haunt, turmoil ever does stalk,*

*\*\*\**

*In chain and betrayal, on Domain Heroic,*

*A soul bound, set to rest, divine slumber stoic.*

*\*\*\* = line lost due to damage to bridge upon which it was inscribed*

## Description

Andvett was first encountered following his release from a large stone sarcophagus in the catacombs of Blarakkerihaugr, located within the forest of Weald's Wake. Sealed in a haze of *Abjuration* magic and draped with chains, the coffin was opened by Dorian Ukko at the behest of other members of the adventuring party.

*"Shrouded in layers of burial cloth covered in a smoky haze heady and floral, the figure stirs from their slumber, frightful murmurs sprawled upon tongue and lips rousing before settling into quiet once more. Like a morning dew, a faint shimmer collects upon the exposed skin of chest, arm and face, painted a complex pattern of indigo woad dye, broken only by a deep and vicious scar parting skin to the bone, ichor flaked purple-black around the ancient wound stretching from hip to collarbone."*

Elsewhere in the catacombs of Blarakkerihaugr, a statue seemingly depicting Andvett was also discovered alongside seven other individuals:

*"Wings outstretched, upon this plinth stands a goat-legged humanoid, curled horns decorated with glyphs jutting proud of a tapered helm. Rings hang from the lobes of pointed ears, a singular pauldron and twinned bandoliers criss-crossed across an exposed and chiselled chest, both by nature of its stone composition and the physique depicted."*

While within the confines of his tomb, Andvett possessed no shadow, but upon transitioning from the edges of the chamber, a long trailing shadow seemed to latch onto his form, and has thus been in possession of a shadow since.

## Personality

After rousing from his arcane slumber, Andvett was initially slow to respond to his awakening, finding little feeling of threat or concern for the adventuring party standing before him. Instead, when questioned, he lamented his betrayal by those he had considered brothers and sisters, for whom he "fought a thousand battles, and was ready to fight a thousand once more". He seemed familiar with the One-Eyed Crow, though did not claim fealty to the entity - instead serving his own strength and might first and foremost.

After assuring Ódóvir that he would answer in response to the call when it came, he departed promptly, leaving the party with the weapons, armour pieces and other magical items that previously belonged to his companions, whom had buried them alongside him in response to their abhorrence for what they found themselves having to do.
