Those She Devours[edit]

At Lost Prospect, you'll encounter Gullveig in the middle of the ritual. She'll mock you as you try to stop her and her minions.

Gullveig: "With every death, I grow stronger. Kill more!"
Gullveig: "Their souls feed me!"
Gullveig: "You're too late! The ritual is complete!"
Gullveig: "At last, my transformation is complete! Now you die, you all die!"

Notes[edit]

  • "Gullveig" is the name of a witch from Norse legends, whose name means "greed" or "gold-lust". She repeatedly comes into conflict with Odin: Odin can strike her down, again and again, but she gets up every time, apparently unharmed. The moral of the story is that greed is not so easily eradicated from the world, or from mortal hearts (and, as the tale of the Ring of the Nibelungs will attest, is more than capable of ruining giants, gods and dwarves alike, as well as men).
