In Norse Mythology, Fáfnir was the son of the Dwarf King Hreiðmarr and had two brothers named Ótr and Reginn. Between his amnesia, status as one not from Zenith, and his donning the crown, he was driven to madness, unaware that his obsession with conquest and opening gates was born out of his desire to simply return to his true home. The crown worn by Niðavellir rulers is also a trap designed by Eitri, as it will do harm to any that wear it that are not part of the royal bloodline. He is originally from another world, just like the Heroes that Kiran is able to summon, but his summoning, an experiment conducted by Eitri, left him amnesiac. In reality, the shift in Fáfnir's personality was brought about by an unfortunate collection of circumstances. He is obsessed with finding and opening gates to other worlds, and goes to war with other nations as a means to sate both this desire and a bloodlust he finds unquenchable. However, his personality changed overnight into one of cruelty and conquest. However, he succumbs to his wounds moments later, but not before sharing a last heart-felt moment with his step-sister, much to Reginn's dismay.įáfnir was once a kind and benevolent man who, despite not remembering his past, was able to rise to the throne. The attack restores Fáfnir back to normal, where he finally regains his true memories remembers and his real family. Seeing the damage wrought by the fallen king, Reginn ultimately decides to kill Fáfnir and deals the fatal blow with Gramr. While the group outnumbers him, Fáfnir deals brutal attacks toward the group, even landing a fatal blow to Nótt. On death throes, Ótr heads toward Fáfnir for help, but the fallen king swiftly kills his stepbrother, failing to recognize him.Įventually the Order of Heroes managed to get to the Niðavellir castle where they battle Fáfnir again throughout the halls. Ótr attempts to fight them again to stop them from restoring Fáfnir but is quickly defeated with Gramr stolen from him. When the Order of Heroes finally arrive in the capital of Niðavellir, they find that Fáfnir has been turned into a mechanical dragon, consumed by madness and the city mostly in ruins. She then turns Gramr on him all while begging to be returned to his realm. Upon confronting the sage, Eitri reveals that Fáfnir was also summoned by the Breidablik copy as part of a ploy to restore Niðavellir. Outraged, Fáfnir halts the invasion of Embla and heads back to his realm to get answers. After a swift invasion Fáfnir enters the Temple of Blood and finds a copy of Breidablik where Loki reveals Eitri created it. After recovering, he begins to set his sights on the Emblian Empire. Upon returning to Ótr, Fáfnir revealed he figured out about Ótr's alliance to Eitri before suffering more headaches. He is then arrested for his crimes, but is soon freed by Loki and, in exchange, he agreed to do something for her. He threatened the queen in order to force her to open the gate of Askr, but is interrupted by Alfonse and the rest of the Order of Heroes and defeated in battle. He defeated again the Heroes and went to the castle of the queen of Askr, Henriette. He ultimately defeated most of the Askran soldiers and encountered again the Heroes, while believing that Eitri remained on their side and was unaware that she betrayed his enemies (and that the sage and Ótr were using him). Furious, Fáfnir decided to continue his path so he could invade Askr. He defeated them easily but Eitri appeared and escaped with the Heroes. He later discovered than his sister Reginn joined the Order of Heroes and faced her and her allies. When she failed to return, Ótr was initially concerned, but Fáfnir was not. When Fáfnir began his invasion of Askr, Reginn was sent to lead the first wave. But while the siblings and subjects deeply loved the new king, the righteousness they thought they saw in him didn't last long, as he'd quickly become a tyrant, subjugating his people and invading other countries. Eventually, Fáfnir seized the throne by force and became their king, who the people welcomed, ignoring the fact that he was not dvergr royalty.Īmidst the chaos, a pair of siblings found shelter in a village where they were later discovered by Fáfnir who adopted them as his new step siblings. When a coup d'état toppled the kingdom of Niðavellir and the old king was killed, the country fell to ruin and completely unable to muster a force large enough to invade a country. 5 Choose Your Legends Placement History.
