The Mortal Aesir
A people born with magic, but survived by choice
---
The Origins of the Aesir
In one of the Legacy Worlds after the collapse of the Great Clock,
the Mortal Aesir were born—mortals born with innate magic.
For the Aesir magic is not knowledge, not a gift from the gods, but rather a biological trait of the soul
Each birth is marked by a dominant elemental magic which determines initial nature, not final destiny.

The Birth of Odin
Odin was born with Wood Magic (Seiðr of the Ancient Wood).
Its meaning according to Aesir tradition growth, patience, protection and rooted Life
He was supposed to be guardian of the forest, tender of conflict, tender of the tribe. But the post-Great Clock world was not gentle.

A World Forced to Change
The Fracture Era created the world that was unstable, chaos creatures invasion, other tribes fought for survival, Forests burned.
The Aesir were hunted, passive defense was no longer enough.
Odin's Wood Magic too slow, too defensive, too "kind" in a world that thrived on destruction
The world rejected Odin true nature.

Odin's Father — Chieftain of the Aesir, Val Bjornson,
chieftain and wielder of Pure Lightning Magic.
His lightning was not blind destruction, but decision, speed, and the will to end the conflict
In his final battle against the enemies of the wounded world,
Val has fell.
But before it he refused to die without left nothing.
---
The Last Legacy
With his remaining consciousness,
Val condensed all his lightning magic
into a single artifact:
Gungnir, blessed by Val last will, inherited Lightning Spear to never misses, always finds a target that "must strike", strikes not just the body, but the enemy's resolve
Gungnir is no ordinary weapon, it is the crystallized will of the chieftain and gift for his son
---
Odin's Choice
Odin did not inherit lightning magic naturally.
He retained Wood Magic.
But after his father's fall,
Odin made a decision that changed everything:
He stopped using his birth magic, not because he was weak, not because he was lost
But because while wood Magic protected life, his people needed victory.

Odin, New Chieftain of Aesir fought with Gungnir.
He becomes, warriors, not healers
Warmaster, not saint
Leaders who stand in front, not soldier behind
But Odin original Magic didn't disappear, it were strengthens his body passively all along, keeping Odin from dying even though he was seriously injured, become the root that holds his soul intact
📌 Nature does not used to hurt other, But to survives refuses to fall.
---
Odin's Paradox
Odin is a living contradiction, born to be a protector, forced to become a directed destroyer
Using his father's will to protect the children of his people
He doesn't fight with his own strength,
but with inherited responsibility.
---
Cosmic Meaning (Post-Grand Hour Era)
In a world without absolute destiny,
Odin's story became an early myth:
A person is not determined by the magic of his birth,
but rather by what he chooses to bear.
And Gungnir… isn't just a spear.
He is:
A reminder that leadership sometimes means becoming something you never wanted to be.
