Welcome to Hugin and Munin stories. This is our story The Shadow of Gullveig: A Sorceress’s Revenge. Our stories are based on authentic Norse myths and Scandinavian folk tales, ensuring a genuine and enriching experience.

Centuries ago, Gullveig, a sorceress of unmatched cunning and greed, betrayed the gods during the Aesir-Vanir War. Cast into Asgard’s flames, she rose three times, her hatred burning brighter with each resurrection. When the gods failed to destroy her, they banished her into the void between realms, hoping her shadow would never return. But shadows never fade completely.

Now, a plague of despair spreads across Midgard, with rivers drying and spirits hollowed. In the village of Skalgard, a young warrior named Sten watches helplessly as the sickness claims his sister, Solveig. Desperate to save her, Sten seeks the wisdom of the village seer, Eira, who reveals a chilling truth: Gullveig’s dark magic stirs once more, threatening not only his home but the balance of the Nine Realms.

Whether you're looking to unwind after a long day or seeking a peaceful escape into the past, our narrations offer a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
