Æsirfolk

Description:

The Æsirfolk are the living embodiments of the ancient Norse gods, reincarnated into the world of mortals. Each Æsirfolk carries within them a fragment of divine essence, making them a direct link between the mortal realm and the celestial heavens. They are distinguished by their ethereal beauty and commanding presence, often exhibiting features reminiscent of their divine ancestors.

Their appearance varies depending on their divine heritage, but common traits include luminous eyes that seem to flicker with the light of the heavens, skin that can range from celestial silver to deep, earthy tones, and hair that might shimmer like fire or flow like a storm. Their stature is imposing, standing tall and proud with a build that hints at both strength and grace.
