ᛝ The Legend of Bjor and the Great Boar of Atlas ᛝ

On one of Bjor’s many travels he encountered a village of human farmers. They were poor and their livelihood relied entirely on their harvest. They begged the mighty dwarf to help them slay great boar that had been destroying their crops and leaving them hungry. Without hesitation Bjor agreed to help the farmer, as his kind heart and generosity did not allow him to deny their request. 

It was not until he saw their farms that Bjor grew skeptical, the land they used to grow crops was land taken from the forest. Bjor was displeased but he understood that he could not allow these people to be hungry. When he entered the forest to face against the boar Bjor realized it was no ordinary creature. The boar was the size of a bear with tusk as big as his arms. Without fear Bjor wrestled the Boar. Minutes turned to hours, and hours turned to days, eventually Bjor was able to immobilize the creature and tie its legs. He took a stoke from the grown and was ready to smash the Boar’s skull when suddenly he felt the forest where he had been battling the boar all this time. He could hear the birds chirping, the wind blowing through the leaves, it was beautiful, a treasure of Anbella.

It was then he understood. Boar was the wrath of Anbella, sending the creature to punish those that have wronged her and the natural world that Yemekar gave to her as her domain. It was only when Bjor understood this that he liberated the beast he had captured. The Boar and Bjor sat together and meditated next to a poplar tree. They sat there for days until Bjor saw the will of Anbella through the eyes of the creature. Blessed Bjor left and taught the farmers how to grow their crops without angering the hearth mother. From that day onwards the boar was never seen again, however, it is said that in times of crisis for the Cottonwoods the boar will once again appear to give council and guide the descendants of Bjor.

Paragon Bjor is a symbol of oness with nature and the descendants. Do not let yourself be swallowed by the moment and let the surroundings feel your soul. Only then will you be able to truly see the world that has been gifted to you.
