D&D 3E/3.5 [Kulan] The Lands of Harqual (Updated: Feb 3/2022)

[Knightfall]

THE INTERLOPER GODS
The Aftermath of the Divinity War left huge holes in both the Pantheon of the North and the Pantheon of Swords. Key members were either destroyed or had their power base greatly reduced. Into this void came the Interloper Gods, a term used to describe all powers that gained influence on Harqual after the Divinity War ended. This term is still widely used today by priests of both pantheons and is almost always used in a derogatory manner; whether the god being referred to is evil or not.

In Norse mythology, Ægir and Rán have nine daughters, sometimes called billow maidens in English. Their names are poetic names for waves. They may be identical with the mothers of Heimdallr.
In the Skáldskaparmál section of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda the names of Ægir's daughters are recorded.

"The daughters of Ægir and Rán are nine, and their names are recorded before: Himinglæva, Dúfa, Blóðughadda, Hefring, Uðr, Hrönn, Bylgja, Dröfn, Kólga."​

— Brodeur's translation​

Brodeur gives the following translations of the names . . .

• Himinglæva – That through which one can see the heaven.
• Dúfa – The Pitching One.
• Blóðughadda – Bloody-Hair.
• Hefring – Riser.
• Uðr – Frothing Wave.
• Hrönn – Welling Wave.
• Bylgja – Billow.
• Dröfn – Foam-Fleck.
• Kólga – Poetical term for Wave. “The Cool One”.
