‘From the dark, to flame I yearn, In frozen realms, as phoenix I return. Offspring to the Linnorm King so grand, To scorch and sear your Northern land!’
- Verse of Eldormr, the Fire Linnorm
Upon their arrival at Frostheart Island, the Northmen were greeted by Eldormr's declaration of his return, proclaiming his heritage as the offspring of the Great Linnorm of Skutagaard. Resurrected with newfound strength, this flaming dragon's revival was an unforeseen event, even to the wise old Wodan. Gunnar, the renowned Linnorm Slayer, had once celebrated victory over Eldormr by beheading him.
Yet, emboldened by the dark enchantments of the Dread Linnorm of Frostheart and carrying the formidable lineage of the Linnorm of Skutagaard, Eldormr was reborn, fiercer and more incendiary than before.
Facing both Eldormr's fiery wrath and the icy onslaught of the Lizardmen, Wodan had no choice but to seek refuge for his warriors within the enigmatic bear ruins deep within Frostheart. This ancient temple, built by a legendary clan of dwarves said to possess the ability to shapeshift into mighty bears, offered a glimmer of hope. To turn the tide of a seemingly hopeless war, many of the warriors chose to embrace their destiny as skinchangers.
