Frothga
The Daughter Bright
Frothga is the second child of Jötu and one of the five deities of the Ordning pantheon. Giants and followers of the Ordning consider her the goddess of heat and the rule of law.
Divine Domains
Frothga is the goddess of fire giants, volcanoes, heat, the sun, artisans, artificers, hierarchy, smithing, commerce, and warfare. Her divine domains are Forge, Light, and War.
Holy Books & Codes
The primary religious text for the gods of the Ordning is the Tale of Twilight, which is said to recount that which will come to pass in the days of the Twilight Era, the Final Doomed moments of the Material Plane. Ordered claim that it was Jötu, himself a powerful seer, that gleaned the Tale of Twilight through the runecasting. Jötu then had his child Duris record the Tale and give it to all the giants that they might prepare the smaller races for the coming apocalypse.
Other stories told by giants include the exploits and histories of the gods of the Ordning, including Frothga. Cultures influenced by giant religion, such as the Varskogans of Varangia, often have echoes of these tales stitched into the fabric their oral histories.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
Frothga's divine symbol is the giant rune, kaunaz, the Old Varangian sign for "enlightenment."
Holidays
In giant culture, the five days of the week are divided among the five giant gods, save Thenn. The third day of the week is called Frothday, and worship of the Daughter Bright is held on this day.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
Ordered believe that in death, all peasants are given to Frothga and sent to the Helgaard, the Land of the Forge. Here, peasants work just like the artisans but their task is making the weapons and food of Jötu’s army. They continue to serve even in death, and though Frothga is a hard mistress, it is believed that an obedient peasant will work with his whole family and be able to see them happy and well fed until the Twilight Age.
Social
Family Ties
Frothga has one parent, the Storm Father Jötu. Frothga's mother, Vaynera, was killed during the birth of her brother Gronnar. She is Duris's younger sister and the older sister of Thenn, Styr, and Gronnar.
