Northern Elven Counties

The **Northern Elven Counties** or *Northern Counties* is the collective name for all the Elf counties located in the valley where Hilda's old house was located.

According to Alfur in *Chapter 1: The Hidden People*, there are 15 counties in the valley. The counties are collectively governed by the Elf Prime Minister.

The name suggests that there are other Elf counties elsewhere, but how many is currently unknown.

The Counties have their own coat of arms, which can be seen on Alfur's passport in "Chapter 2".

## Appearances

* Chapter 1: The Hidden People.

Trevor's friends

**Trevor's friends** are three kids appearing in the graphic novels, the animated series and the novelization.

The group consists of:

* Bagsy
* Anders
* Kelly

## Names

The animated series does not reveal the names of any of the three.

In the graphic novel "Hilda and the Bird Parade", only the kid with blue and red woolen hat got his name revealed, which is Bagsy, as the kid with bear hat called out for him.

The tie-in novel "Hilda and the Time Worm" states two of them are named Kelly and Anders. Kelly is most likely the name of the girl, which, combined with the aforementioned scene from the graphic novels, makes it safe to say that the boy with the bear hat is Anders, while the other boy is Bagsy.

Unnamed captain

The **unnamed captain** is a minor character in the Hilda TV series.

## Appearance

He is a man of indeterminate age with brown shoulder-length hair, a small goatee, and wears what looks like a captain's hat.

## Biography

He makes his first appearance during Erik Ahlberg and Gerda Gustav's inspection of the harbour. He shares the White haired sailor's low opinion of the cod sandwiches served at The Salty Maiden, even speculating that the cod sandwiches actually contain no cod at all, but something else entirely.

In episode Chapter 2: The Draugen, he, the Bearded sailor, the Peg legged sailor and a few other sailors were gambling with the Wood Man. They all lost badly, with the captain losing his hat and likely also a considerable amount of money and his ship. He was about to beat up the Wood Man with his fellow players, but relented after Hilda convinced him not to.

He be seen at the The Salty Maiden in "Chapter 5: The Job", as a customer in the background and gets alarmed by The Polecat's sudden appearance.
Johanna's Car (beta)

**Johanna's Car** is a car owned by the character Johanna. It served as a replacement for her first car that got destroyed by Trundle's brother in the movie.

Unlike her first car, this second car does not appear in the graphic novels but is exclusive to the animated series and Hilda Tie-In Series.

## History

After spending the mayority of Season 3 without a car, Johanna eventually bought this second car in "Chapter 6: The Forgotten Lake".

This car is a second hand model and according to Johanna it wasn't too expensive. However, this car is not the most reliable and tends to break down easily. Johanna and Hilda find this out the hard way when they take their new car for a camping trip, and it breaks down on the side of the road. Johanna is able to fix the car thanks to the car repair skills she learned in her Sparrow Scouts days, but it takes her so long she and Hilda never reach the intended camping ground and camp at the spot the car stopped. This leads to their encounter with the Spider Frog, which was trapped in a lake nearby.

In "Chapter 8: The Fairy Isle", the car again breaks down when Johanna is in a rush to get to Tofoten. Not wanting to waste time, Johanna leaves the car behind and continues on foot. It is unknown what became of the car afterwards.

### Appearances

* Chapter 6: The Forgotten Lake
* Chapter 8: The Fairy Isle

### Trivia

* Hilda actually liked this car because of it's glitchy, unpredictable nature. Johanna reminded her that unpredictability is usually not something people look for in a car.
* This version of the car also appears in the tie-in book "Hilda and the Laughing Merman". Here, Johanna first shows up in the car when she comes to pick up Hilda from Sparrow Scout camp, but the car breaks down on their way home, forcing mother and daughter to camp for the night in the wilderness. This leads to their encounter with the Spider Frog.
The Giants of Old

**The Giants of Old** is a book about the history of Giants in Wood Man's possession. He shows it to Hilda in both "Hilda and the Midnight Giant" and it's animated adaptation "Chapter 2: The Midnight Giant", when she follows him home to ask about Jorgen.

## Excerpts

* *It was crucial that one giant must, at all times, be sat atop the tallest mountain, a long-forgotten peak in the north. There, he or she would gaze tirelessly into the black, guarding the Earth from anything that might threaten from above. Any young giant could be summoned as guardian, a duty that could last for millennia.*
* "Legend says that the last guardian to serve was this fellow: Jorgen." (Hilda)

Knudsen

**Knudsen** is a viking, and leader of his clan. He appears in the Season 2 episode "Chapter 4: The Eternal Warriors", and the tie-in novel "Hilda and the White Woff". His role is the same in both continuities. The character does not appear in the graphic novels.

## Appearance

Knudsen has a thick, brown beard and long brown hair that he wears in a tail. He is quite big and strong in build.

In battle, he wields a magic axe that glows with red light. He might be ambidextrous, since he can be seen wielding his axe just as easily with his left hand after his right hand is chopped off.

## Personality

Knudsen is quite arrogant and ruthless, though this could very well be due to the influence of the Medallion of Sigurd.

## Biography

Along with his clan, Knudsen came to the Forest of Nott several centuries ago to find the Medallion of Sigurd, which would forever take away their fears. They found it, but the original owner, Sigurd, trapped them in an eternal battle with their rivals, Torgund's clan. Each night, the clan that had the medaillion would get killed by the other, after which Sigurd would revive them and the fight continued the night after. Neither side realized this due to the potion also wiping their memories of the last fight.

Early in "Chapter 4: The Eternal Warriors", they are the ones who have the Medallion, and once again get killed by Torgund and his clan. This time, however, David, Frida and Hilda see how Sigurd revives Knudsen and his clan. The night after, Knudsen and his clan kill Torgund's clan and reclaim the Medallion. They are last seen departing with their loot. This was the last battle, however, since Hilda convinved Sigurd to stop, meaning that in the end Knudsen got the Medallion. It is unknow what became of him and his clan aferwards.

Torgund's clan

* Animated series
* Novelization

**Torgund's clan** is one of the two groups of vikings seen in the season 2 episode "Chapter 4: The Eternal Warriors" and the tie-in novel "Hilda and the White Woff".

They are led by Torgund and wield magical weapons that glow with blue light when used.

## Members

Torgund himself included, the clan consists of six members; four men and two women. Two of the men are named Olaf and Bjarnsen. The last remaining man is named Elof. The two women go unnamed in the episode, but their names are revealed on the official character sheet: Uli and Solveig.

David also joined the clan as a messenger boy after he heard that the Medallion of Sigurd would make all of his fears disappear. After he got under the influence of the medallion, he stayed as a temporarily member untill the effects were gone after Sigurd's and Hilda's revision. Because of that he couldn't remember what happend.

## History

Several hundred years ago, Torgund and his clan came to the Forest of Nott to find the Medallion of Sigurd, which would forever take away their fears. They believed this would make them better warriors. Their rivals, the Knudsen clan, also came to the forest for this reason. One of the clans managed to steal the medaillion from Sigurd, but fell in battle with their rivals because their new fearlessness also made them reckless. Sigurd, angered by the theft, used a potion to restore the fallen clan back to life, and wipe their memories of the battle. Since that day, the two clans got trapped in an endless battle over the medaillon. Each night, the clan that had the Medallion would be slain in battle due tot heir recklessness, after which Sigurd revived them and the battle started over, with neither clan realizing they were trapped in a repeating loop, or how much time truly passed.

In "Chapter 4: The Eternal Warriors", David ended up with the clan after he fell off a cliff and Torgun found him. He joined them as their messenger boy that night, and after a victory over the Knudsen Clan, he too got to use the Medallion. The following day, he, Frida and Hilda saw how Sigurd restored the fallen Knudsen clan. David warned Torgund's clan, and another battle followed, but since the Torgund's had used the Medallion, they lost this time around. When David was also killed, Hilda and Frida convinced Sigurd that it was better to stop reviving the clans. Sigurd used his potion one last time to revive the clan, but this time admitted the truth and gave them the potion. Torgund and his men took the news suprprisingly well, considering it a good joke. When last seen, they were testing out the potion by repeatedly killing and reviving each other.

Torgund Clan character sheet.
## Trivia

* In addition of a clever censorship approach by the showrunners considering expected violence in fighting scenes between both Viking Clans, enchanted weapons wielded by both Torgund's clan and Knudsen's clan don't just glow at the wielder's will, but also instantly cauterize wounds inflicted by it with magic energy of same color from weapons in question regardless of its severity.

Abigail's dad

The real name of this character is currently unknown

The **Abigail's dad** is a ghost who is first seen in "Chapter 2: The Draugen".

He is the father of the draug Abigail, and is is buried at St. Guglows Cemetery.

## Apperance

Like all ghosts, he is transparent, with his bones visible inside his body. He has a glowing skull. He is quite bulky in build, and it seems he had a beard when he was still alive.

## Biography

Like his daughter Abigail, he has been dead for at least 300 years by the time of his first appearance in the show. Unlike his daughter, he died on land and was buried on St. Guglows Cemetary, thus he became a regular ghost rather than a draug.

Near the end of "Chapter 2: The Draugen", Hilda uses a rune stick to awaken him and the other ghosts on the graveyard, just as the draugen that where chasing her catch up with her. It is thus that he and his daughter Abigail are reunited after having been seperated for 300 years.

They then disappear into his grave.

## Media

### First Appearance

**Graphic novels**:
Hilda and the Black Hound
**Animated series**:
Chapter 13: The Black Hound

This **unnamed woman** is the owner of the house that Tontu used to live in before he was banished. She appears in both the graphic novels and the animated series. Her role is the same in both incarnations for Season 1. Season 2 gives her 2 more cameos not based on the graphic novels.

## Appearance

She is a middle-aged woman with graying hair. In both incarnation, she wears a white sweater. In the graphic novels, she also wears white earrings.

## Biography

She lives in a yellow house, with a large garden with a duck pond. During the time he still lived in her house, Tontu was rather fond of the duck in this pond.

One night, she awoke due to a loud noise in the living room, and when she went downstairs to take a look, she found her whole living room trashed, with Tontu standing among the chaos. Naturally, she assumed Tontu had caused the damage while ransacking her living room, and she promptly banished him from her home. Unbeknown to her, the real culprit was the Barghest Jellybean, who knew how to use the Nowhere Spaces due to him being raised by a Nisse.

Afterwards, she donated all her damaged stuff to the Sparrow Scouts for their jumble sale.

On the day of the Sparrow Scout's badge ceremony, Hilda, who was wandering around Trolberg, accidentally came across the woman's house. Realizing that this was the house Tontu used to live in, she decided to ask the owner about Tontu, and thus heard the story of Tontu's supposed vandalism.

In "Chapter 10: The Yule Lads", she is briefly seen decorating her home for the Trolberg Winter Festival. In "Chapter 12: The Replacement", she is seen at the farmers market, getting caught up in the chaos caused by the Delegation for the Return of Wayward Elves chasing after Alfur.

Watchtower

The **Watchtowers** are magical towers that can be found all over Fairy Country, with the main one being located on Fairy Isle. They are large, stone towers, with a crystal top.

The towers allow fairies to spy on the human world, and can even be used to pull people and objects into Fairy Country. A lot of fairies are former humans who were abducted in this manner. However, as the need for new arrivals dwindled, the towers fell out of use and their workings have largely been forgotten by the time the series is set. Phinium and Lydia are among the few who still know how to use them.

A watchtower is activated by rotating a crystal at the top, after which the tower fills with a green fog in which one can see and hear the people or place that one wishes to see, but the image looks distorded. In the tie-in book "Hilda and the Fairy Village", this mist is referred to as "steam windows". The transmissions mostly work in only one direction. The people that are being spied on cannot see or hear the people in the watchtower, but they can notice a shadow cast by their observer and subconsciously pick up things being said by the observer.

Phinium and Lydia used their watchtower to keep an eye on Johanna after they were forced to abandon her, and also Hilda after her first encounter with a Fairy Mound. They used the tower to rescue Anders from a troll that was about to kill him. When Hilda saw her friends looking for Twig, she alerted Frida that Twig was inside Astrid's house. Victoria Van Gale also found a watchtower on the outer island she had ended up on after her botched Nowhere Space experiment. When Hilda finds her, Victoria has already made great progress with analyzing the towers workings. At the end of "Chapter 8: The Fairy Isle", she manages to use her tower to create a portal that takes her directly to the lair of The Fairy Entity.

The song can be heard in the season 3 episode "Chapter 7: Strange Frequencies" during the scene where Hilda, Frida and David are going around Trolberg to inform the Nisse about the townhall meeting that Frida is organizing for them.

At one point in the past, he was chosen to be the next guardian tasked with guarding the Earth from the top of the tallest mountain in the North. For millennia, Jorgen fulfilled this task, unaware that in the meantime his fellow giants were driven off the Earth by humans.

When his duty was over, he returned to the valley to reunited with his girlfriend, but could not find her. He met Hilda, and she told him his friend was probably gone. Thankfully, this was not the case; she was simply asleep, and he didn't find her because her sleeping body resembled a mountain. After Hilda woke her up, she and Jorgen finally reunited and decided to follow their fellow giants into space.

Sadly, just before they left, the 2 giants accidentally crushed Hilda's house, completely destroying it (in the animated series, this was Jorgen's doing, while in the graphic novels, Illus did).

Another instrumental version of the song is heard in "Chapter 6: The Forgotten Lake", when Johanna plays it on the pan pipes Hilda brought, but inadvertently wakes up the Spider Frog this way.

The full song, with lyrics, is heard in "Chapter 7: Strange Frequencies", in which Hilda picks up the song on her radio after finding out the strange radiosignals she had been trying to decode came from Victoria Van Gale. The song is used to accompany a scene that shows Hilda, David and Frida at a low point in their friendship, caused by Hilda accidentally ruining the townhall meeting Frida tried to organize for the nisse in Trolberg:

* Hilda angrily takes down all her notes and other research, then lies down on her bed.
* One of the wanted posters Hilda made of her dad is seen coming loose from the pole it was attached to, and fly off in the wind.
* Tontu is in his bed in Nowhere Space, clearly having trouble getting to sleep.
* David is in his own bed, likewise having trouble to sleep.
* In her room, Frida looks at a picture of her and her friends when they were younger, clearly feeling sad how things have turned out.

## Lyrics

*Lay down your head*

*Heed my warning*

*Let the airwaves tell my tale*

*Left with regrets*

*And misgivings*

*With no wind in my sail*

*Hope to return*

*But I'm not certain*

*What the future may unveil*

## Trivia

* Despite being an original song composed for the series, Van Gale's Lullaby is not included on the soundtrack album for Season 3.

Witches Tower

**Witches Tower** is the headquarters of the Witches living in Trolberg. The building as seen in the TV series does not appear in the graphic novels.

## Features

The tower is build upside down into the ground, rather than from the ground up like a regular tower, and is hidden underneath the Library. It can be accessed through a series of secret rooms and passages that start in the library.

Witches Tower contains several rooms, including a hallway with a portrait gallery of past witches and their familiars. The place is criss-crossed with bridges and passageways. In the tower, hundreds of Witches goa about their days, learning magic or hanging out with their familiars. At the very top (or technically bottom), The Committee of Three governs the tower from a circular room whose walls are covered with book shelves. From this room, there is a portal to the Void of No Return.

## Trivia

* When they first see the tower, Frida remarks that most people believe the tower to be located in the Huldrawood. In the graphic novels, a map of Trolberg and surrounding area indeed shows a structure named Witches Tower in the woods outside the city. It never plays a role in any of the stories though.
* In "Hilda's World: A guide to Trolberg, the wilderness, and beyond", Hilda wonders if all of the Nowhere Space in Witches tower belongs to jus 1 Nisse, and remarks that if this is the case said Nisse sure has a luxurious living accommodation.

Sigurd

**Sigurd** is a creature that appears in the episode "Chapter 4: The Eternal Warriors", as well as this episode's adaptation "Hilda and the White Woff". His role is the same in both continuities. He does not appear in the graphic novels.

## Appearance

Sigurd is a tall, slender, humanoid creature with green skin. His body is largely covered in mud from the swamp in which he lives. According to "Hilda's Book of Beasts and Spirits", Sigurd, like all Swamp Men, is actually made up of mud and vegetation.

## Personality

Sigurd is usually calm and polite. He does not take kind to people stealing his stuff however, and thus has been keeping the Knudsen clan and Torgund's clan trapped in an endless battle over his medaillion. Although it initially amused him to see the vikings fight each other every night, he eventually came to see the task of reviving them every night as a chore that needed to be done.

## Biography

Sigurd lives in a swamp deep in the Forest of Nott outside Trolberg. In the center of his swamp, he has created a rock collection that has become known to locals as the Screaming Stones.

Sigurd is at least several centuries old. He once had a medallion that could render anyone who touched it fearless, but at the cost of their common sense. It was stolen from him by either the Knudsen clan or Torgund's clan. Although Sigurd didn't want the stolen medallion back, since he knew it would make him reckless, he nevertheless didn't want to leave the vikings unpunished for their actions either. Soon after the theft, the clan that had stolen the Medallion was killed by their rivals. Sigurd used a potion to revive them, and wipe their memories about the fight, so they would track down their rival and kill them in turn. For the next centuries, Sigurd kept doing this night after night, reviving the fallen party and effectively trapping the 2 clans in an endless battle without them knowing it.

Hilda, David and Frida encounter Sigurd when they are on a Sparrow Scouts camping trip, and visit the Screaming Stones. They witness how Sigurd revives the fallen Knudsen clan, which where slain the night before. After the revived Knudsen and his clan kills Torgund's clan, including David, Hilda and Frida seek out Sigurd to ask for his help to revive David. Sigurd admits his whole scheme to them, and Hilda makes him realize it has gone on long enough. Thus, Sigurd revives Torgund's clan one last time, and tells them what he has done. The vikings take it in strides however, and consider it a good joke. Since he has no more use for the potion, he gives it to Torgund.

## Trivia

* The novelization does not show how Sigurd confesses what he has done to the vikings.

Screaming Stones

The **Screaming Stones** are a pile of rocks located in a swamp deep in the Forest of Nott. In the graphic novels, they can only be seen on a map of Trolberg and surrounding areas, but the location plays a role in the animated series, episode "Chapter 4: The Eternal Warriors".

The stones are named because many people who where near them heard screaming at night coming from near the stones. In reality however, this screaming was not coming from the stones themselves, but from the Knudsen clan and Torgund's clan during their many battles.

In "Chapter 4: The Eternal Warriors", while they are camping with the Sparrow Scouts, Hilda convinces David and Frida to visit the stones. They camp close to the stones that night. When David wanders off on his own and first falls off the side of the mountain, and later gets involved in the fight of the viking clans, Hilda and Frida mistake his screams for those of the stones, and thus don't come to his aid. The next day they reach the stones, and learn that they are just ordinary rocks; a collection made by Sigurd, who lives in the swamp.

## Trivia

* In "Hilda and the White Woff", which adapts "Chapter 4: The Eternal Warriors", the stones are stated to be in The Great Forest instead.

Sigmund

**Sigmund** is an ancient Giant who appears in the graphic novels, the animated series and the novelizations.

According to his biography in the graphic novels, Sigmund is a cousin of Jorgen, and a rival to Aldinn's leadership. This rivalry however is not seen in the animated series. He was known for his long, luxurious fur which he washed twice a day in the sea. Like the other Ancient Giants, he was eventually driven off the Earth by early humans. Sigmund is kind and was one of the first ones to take the leap into space.

## Appearence

Sigmund is a brown giant with purple glowing eyes. He has a mustache growing on either side of his nose that is the same colour of his body, brown. His body is covered in thick fur.

## Biography

### Graphic novels

In the graphic novels, Sigmund is seen on a two-page image in "Hilda and the Midnight Giant" depicting the giants of old. He plays no direct part in any of the stories as the giants left Earth long ago by the time the graphic novel is set.

He also appears on a 1-panel flashback, but for some reason he has a different color fur here.

### Animated series

In "Chapter 2: The Midnight Giant", Sigmund appears in both a book from Wood Man about the giants of old, and in a flashback when Wood Man tells Hilda about the history of the giants. He is shown getting attacked by humans, who fire flaming boulders at him using catapults.

In "Chapter 3: The Giantslayer", Hilda and Wood Man meet the ancient giants after traveling 3000 years into the past with the Faratok tree. Sigmund is one of them while curiously, his apparance is different than from before. He is first seen in a valley, and later when attending a meeting with the other giants where they decide they have to leave the Earth. At the end of the episode, they follow up on this decision and leap off the planet into space.

### Novelization

The events of "Chapter 3: The Giantslayer" are adapted into "Hilda and the Faratok Tree". Sigmunds role in this story is similar to the animated series. Along with Aldinn, he summons all Giants for an emergency meeting after Drib has been rescued from Halvor and his army. The giants decide the Earth has become too small for them and they should move into space. Hilda tries to convince the giants otherwise, but a second attack by Halvor and his troops proves the final straw and one by one the giants leap off the Earth, Sigmund included.

The Night of the Trolls

**The Night of the Trolls** is a special night in Trolberg, established at the end of "Hilda and the Mountain King" (and the Movie adaptation) under approval of Erik Ahlberg (graphic novel)/Gerda Gustav (animated series) and the Trolberg Safety Patrol.

The night is held every year on the anniversary of the night that Trundle attacked Trolberg. During this night, Trolls are allowed to enter the city of Trolberg, so they can be near their ancestor Amma (who is sleeping underneath the city), and sprout flowers. The many bells in and around Trolberg are silenced during this night. As the trolls enter the city, the streets are lined with people who respectfully watch as the trolls make their journey to the heart of Trolberg.

According to Hilda, not everybody approves of the night, since many people still fear trolls, but it is a start in working towards a more peaceful coexistance between humans and trolls.
