Hervör Alvitr (“the Strange Wise Creature”) is a serene and enigmatic Valkyrie known for her sharp insight and calm judgment. Her pale, steady gaze and composed demeanor set her apart from her more warlike sisters. She is associated with knowledge, foresight, and the subtle workings of fate, offering guidance that is often brief, direct, and unexpectedly accurate. She influences events through counsel and understanding rather than open combat, though she is a capable fighter when needs call for it.
