Norse Myth -- Kinsmen Die Ch 23: Frigg ... breaking up is hard to do
Welcome to CHAPTER 23 of the Kinsmen Die podcast, home of fantasy fiction based on Norse mythology that’s written and read by me, Matt Bishop.
In this podcast I read my first novel, Kinsmen Die, one chapter at a time. Every TEN chapters, or so, I recap the key plot points and provide some insight into the myths I’ve referenced in the book as well as some of the creative choices I’ve made along the way.
Before we roll into Chapter 23, in which we’re back with Frigg, here’s a quick summary of what’s gone before.
The Jotunn attacked the town of Hals which is west of Gladsheim. Vidar was on hand to deal with the trouble…and then proceeded to get himself into deeper trouble.
Baldr, the son of Frigg and Odin, is having terrible dreams which render him corpse-like come morning. Frigg summoned her husband Odin back from his wanderings to figure out what was going on. And, Frigg’s visions of the future have returned — she’s not liking what she sees.
No sooner was he back home than Odin rode back out to help his son Vidar repel the Jotunn. Or so he thought. When he arrived, he had to save Vidar from the spirit — the disir — which had possessed him.
Hodr Odinsson is serving drinks in a pub and talking to merchants. It’s not clear what’s going on there but I promise clarity will gallop in.
Vafthrudnir, high shaman of the Jotunn, met with the Skrymir, high chief of the Jotunn, and his childhood. They have a nefarious plot concocted which involves Loki and stealing supplies from the Aesir.
Finally, we met Loki, his second wife Sigyn, and their two sons, Vali and Narfi. We don’t know what they’re up to, but it does not involve fiery hot magma or, sadly, sharks with frickin lasers.
And on that note, we now join Frigg, the Almother of Gladsheim.
