Njörd (NYOR-thur)
Norse Deity
Njörd, the resolute god of seafarers, wind, and wealth, stands as the venerable master of coasts and commerce. His dominion is the liminal space where land meets sea, where the briny deep greets the earth with foamy kisses. Njörd's essence is intertwined with the salty spray of the ocean and the untamed gusts that guide vessels through treacherous waters. His form is that of a seasoned mariner, his gaze cast toward distant horizons with a wisdom born of countless voyages. His eyes, the color of the sea's ever-changing surface, hold a depth that speaks of the world's hidden treasures and the secrets submerged in the abyss. His voice is the call of the gull, the creak of the dock, the bellow of the sail, a symphony of sounds that sings of adventure and the promise of bounty. As the patron of ports and harbors, Njörd's touch is upon every net cast and every cargo traded, his blessings found in the prosperity of those who respect the sea's might and seek its riches. In Njörðr's wake, the world knows the wealth that flows like tides and the abundance that rides on the back of the waves.
