Einar Symbol

Einar's original crest design.

Einar is a Valkyrie General, the Archkyrie of Lindesfarme, and part of the Council of Archkyrie.[1] When the Rise of the Valkyrie began, Einar assisted Utgar in his goal to help control the Wellsprings.[2][3] However, after an attack on Einar's court leader Empress Kiova, Einar would rethink this choice.[4] When the Valkyrie Jandar sent Thormun to offer an Alliance against Utgar, Einar accepted. Einar has a particular affinity for historical units from Earth, with a large body of his summons consisting of Romans and Samurai.

History[]

Deathwalker and company

Einar's Izumi Samurai stand side-by-side with Deathwalker 9000 and Agent Carr in the Animated Commercial.

As an Archkyrie, Einar made his fortune excavating gold from the nearby mines, and built great wealth for himself, living in a great golden palace in Lindesfarme. Travel in his region meant being accompanied at all times by the Einar Imperium, and he kept a keen focus on discipline and order in his lands.[5]

After some early conflicts in the Rise of the Valkyrie, during which Einar's Roman soldiers and Utgar's Grut Orcs came to dislike each other in particular, Einar and Utgar opted to collaborate in the goal of controlling the Wellsprings.[6] Their forces fought side-by-side during battles against Jandar and Ullar, sometimes with additional aid from Vydar.[7]

At some point, the Minions of Utgar would attempt to assassinate noble friend of Einar's court Empress Kiova, which seemed to end the relationship between Einar and Utgar.[8]

By the time that Thormun came bearing an offer of Alliance with Jandar, Ullar and Vydar, Einar considered the collaboration between their forces unspoken but was happy to ratify it officially. He sent them out with the Looking Glasses of Vaelentela, artifacts that would allow the four generals to communicate over long distances and formulate their plans.[9]

Additional Info[]

Einar had long dark hair, and golden armor studded with amethysts with a violet cape.[9] His skin was bronze, and his wings were brown and hawk-like. Being summoned by Einar might have felt like having time stop while he took your hand and rose with you through the portal to Valhalla.[10]
