Vígniút is a deceased non-binary Tuskeri warrior from Kaldheim, who is enjoying their afterlife in the great hall of Starnheim.[1]

Description[ | ]

Vígniút is a Tuskeri warrior with a flame-red beard and rust-colored tattoos covering their arms and chest. Niko Aris silently nicknamed them "Flamebeard". This description emphasizes their fiery, bold nature, and warrior status. Vígniút exhibits a boisterous and somewhat crude demeanor, shown through their loud demands for more drink and participation in rowdy banter with the other warriors. They are straightforward and unrefined, unafraid to speak their mind and engage in spirited debates. Vígniút is also depicted as a brave and passionate fighter, valuing close-quarters combat and dismissing more strategic, distanced approaches to battle. Their disdain for mages who avoid getting "dust on their pretty little boots" highlights their preference for confrontation and physical prowess.[1]

History[ | ]

Vígniút was one of the warriors feasting in the grand hall of Starnheim. They engaged in lively conversations with other heroes, including Gæller No-breath and Thura Sail-Rend. Vígniút demanded more drinks and humorously mocked the unconventional beverage choices of their companions. Their energetic and outspoken nature was evident as they debated the merits of various combat styles, expressing their belief that true warriors must fight up close.

When Niko Aris joined the group, Vígniút listened to their story of defying destiny and intentionally losing a competition to break free from a preordained fate. Vígniút's reaction to Niko's tale was a mixture of curiosity and admiration. They appreciated Niko's defiance against the gods, reinforcing their belief that greatness is earned through direct action and personal strength. Their interactions with Niko and the other heroes show their respect for those who challenge fate and prove their worth through their actions.[1]
