Welcome to Hugin and Munin stories. This is our story The Whisper of Yggdrasil Sigrun’s Journey of Heart. Our stories are based on authentic Norse myths and Scandinavian folk tales, ensuring a genuine and enriching experience.
In a quiet village nestled between mountains and forest, young Sigrun dreamed of becoming a shieldmaiden, yet she felt untested and uncertain of her path. One evening, as her mother told tales of Yggdrasil, the World Tree that binds all realms, Sigrun learned of a “whisper” that Yggdrasil sends to those who seek their purpose. Captivated by this legend, she set her heart on hearing the whisper for herself.
One night, drawn by a faint melody drifting from the forest, Sigrun stepped into the woods, ready to follow the song wherever it led. Alongside a fox with knowing eyes and a companion named Bjorn, she would uncover a strength deeper than any sword—a strength born of kindness, courage, and compassion.

In the cold, mist-shrouded realm of Helheim, Sverke, the Warden of the Dead, stands as an unyielding sentinel, enforcing Hel’s will and keeping the dishonored souls in their place.
