Oh no… Gullveig, the Golden Seer, has come to Askr! She’s the one who doomed the world of the future to despair!

Something is strange about her outfit, though. It looks a lot like the attire of Seiðr, one of the goddesses from Vanaheimr…

In fact, if you look closely, you’ll notice there are lots of similarities between Gullveig and Seiðr. As it happens, they’re actually sort of the same person!

The power of the golden serpents turned her into Gullveig, the Golden Seer—but if she’s wearing her old outfit now, maybe that means she still remembers her time as Seiðr?
