Sökkvabekk ("the Sinking Stream"): of this spot and of Saga, who is said to live there, little is known. Saga may be an hypostasis of Frigg, but Snorri calls her a distinct goddess, and the name suggests some relation to history or story-telling.

Whilst resting after this task another evil befell the Duardin gods. Exactly what happened in the event known as the Thagduegi, the Great Betrayal, is unknown but the Duardin pantheon broke apart. [5] This kit comprises 18 plastic components and is supplied with 1x Citadel 40mm Round Base and 2x Citadel 25mm Round Bases with flying stems. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly The mechanism by which a Kindred’s Grimnyr choose their ultimate representative is unknown outside of their enigmatic circles. Yet all Kin know what this venerated figure embodies: wisdom, guidance and insight. Within the Volannic Council, the Lord Grimnyr is held to be the voice of the Ancestors themselves, as well as a walking conduit for both their lore and their gestalt might. Nor is this role a purely ceremonial or advisory one. It is incumbent upon the Lord Grimnyr to walk the battlefield as the eyes and curs and voice of the Votann, dispensing wisdom to friends and allies, even as they unleash the wrath of the glowering Ancestors upon the enemies of their Kindred. ABILITIES This stanza, again possibly an interpolation, is closely paraphrased by Snorri following the passage quoted in the previous note. Glath ("Joyous"): identified in the Skaldskaparmal with Skinfaxi, the horse of day; cf. Vafthruthnismol, 12. Gyllir: "Golden." Gler: "Shining." Skeithbrimir: "Swift-Going." Silfrintopp: "Silver-Topped." Sinir: "Sinewy." Gisl: the meaning is doubtful; Gering suggests "Gleaming." Falhofnir: [fp. 97]"Hollow-Hoofed." Golltopp ("Gold-Topped"): this horse be longed to Heimdall (cf. Voluspo, i and 46). It is noteworthy that gold was one of the attributes of Heimdall's belongings, and, because his teeth were of gold, he was also called Gullintanni ("Gold-Toothed"). Lettfeti: "Light-Feet."

Army Rule – Eye of the Ancestors

The sixth is Thryrnheim, the place of uproar set in the mountains. That’s where the great giant Thiazi lived. Now it’s owned by his daughter, fair Skadi — she was Njord’s bride. The seventh is Breidablik, Broad Splendour: Balder has set up his hall there in beautiful country, blessed and untainted by any evil. A Grimnyr accompanied by his two CORV robotic assistants, all outfitted with Ancestral Ward Crests. Grimnyr The woman fostered Agnarr, and the man looked after Geirröd, and he gave him good advice. When spring came, the peasant gave them a boat. But when the old woman led them to the beach, the man spoke to Geirröd. Long ago the sons of the mighty dwarf Ivaldi made Skidbladnir, best of all ships; it was a gift for Freyr. Likewise, Yggdrasill is the finest of trees, Odin the greatest of gods, and Sleipnir the swiftest of steeds; lid rust is the bridge of bridges and Bragi the best of word-smiths; Hobrok is the finest hawk, and Garm the fiercest hound. I have raised my face to the gods and they have heard me, all those who sit and drink at Aegir’s banquet.

The Grimnismol follows the Vafthruthnismol in the Codex Regius and is also found complete in the Arnamagnæan Codex, where also it follows the Vafthruthnismol. Snorri quotes over twenty of its stanzas. Grím seems to be a variant of "Grímnir", which means "masked person". A very apt name for Odin. The closest English equivalent is "grimace", while "grim" (similar meaning in old Norse and modern English) seems to be distantly related, and only appears as a byname of Odin, "Asagrim", in a medieval Swedish ballad. (Note the difference between "Grím" and "Grim"). When you select a PSYKER unit to manifest psychic powers, you select one psychic power that unit knows and attempt to manifest it. With the exception of Smite, you cannot attempt to manifest the same psychic power more than once in the same battle round, even with different PSYKER units. The same PSYKER unit cannot attempt to manifest Smite more than once during the same battle round. King Geirrod sat and listened. His sword lay across his lap, half-sheathed. When he heard his guest reveal that he was Odin, he leapt up to release him. But the sword slipped from the King’s hand and fell hilt first to the ground. Then Geirrod stumbled and fell on his sword so that it skewered him and killed him.Adamnan-Na-Brionha - Amex - Kourdanrin - Liadriel - Meneloth - Morai-Heg - Salthite - Sarriel - Torothal The brother of Grungni, the Ancestor God of smiths, miners and artisans, and joint husband with his brother of Valaya, the Ancestor Goddess of home and the hearth, Grimnir is the patron of Dwarf warriors, and of Slayers in particular. During their ancient migration, Grimnir protected the Dwarfs from enemies such as Giants, Dragons, and Trolls. The coming of Chaos brought forth new dangers; wielding two mighty axes forged by Grungni, Grimnir led the Dwarfs against these abominations. After learning about the warp gate through which the forces of Chaos were entering the mortal world, Grimnir decided to find the ruptured gate and close it with his own hands, even against the advice of Grungni and Valaya. He shaved his head, except for a crest that he dyed orange and spiked with animal fat, and tattooed his body with elaborate patterns that incorporated his personal rune. Dishonoured Dwarfs entering the Slayer cult follow the same ritual today. [1a] Snorri quotes this stanza. Like stanza 43 an almost certain interpolation, it was probably drawn in by the reference to Skithblathnir in the stanza interpolated earlier. It is presumably in faulty condition. One Ms. has after the fifth line half of a sixth,--"Brimir of swords." Yggdrasil: cf. stanzas 25-35. Skithblathnir: cf. stanza 43, no By comparison, though, more than one Votann has degenerated in recent centuries until they have become little more than Fanes themselves. To witness such a decline is a terrible tragedy to the Kin. Alliances such as the Kapellan League or the disintegrating Balor-Attal Conglomerate endured long Terran years of mourning after their Ancestor Cores suffered this fate.

Mallory, James P.; Adams, Douglas Q. (1997). Encyclopedia of Indo-European Culture. London: Routledge. p. 527. ISBN 978-1-884964-98-5 There are no specific holy days dedicated to the worship of Grimnir. Festivals to Grimnir take place before battle, and after a victory. [1a] Trials [ ] Grungni's has a single son with his sister-wife Valaya, Morgrim, Ancestor God of Engineers and in -4420 IC [2b] he travelled with his father on his quest to close the warp gate. Together they slew the dragon Glammendrüng and Grimnir used its claw to craft new tattoos upon his body. Having feasted with Norse Dwarfs [3a] the pair faced the Daemon Prince and scion of Khorne, Kragen’ome’nanthal. Sorely wounded by the three day battle, Grimnir commanded his son to take his place as defender of the Dwarf’s and no more is known of what happened to him after he strode into the Chaos Wastes. Interpolations in such a poem as the Grimnismol could have been made easily enough, and many stanzas have undoubtedly crept in from other poems, but the beginning and end of the poem are clearly marked, and presumably it has come down to us with the same essential outline it had when it was composed, probably in the first half of the tenth century. Valgrind ("The Death-Gate"): the outer gate of Valhall; cf. Sigurtharkvitha en skamma, 68 and note.

Nor is this role a purely ceremonial or advisory one. It is incumbent upon the Lord Grimnyr to walk the battlefield as the eyes and ears and voice of the Votann, dispensing wisdom to friends and allies, even as they unleash the wrath of the glowering Ancestors upon the enemies of their Kindred.
