| This is the goddess-dragon that lives beneath the great icy seas. Her breath is the cold northern wind, and her body is the ice floating atop the water. Her words hang as fog in the morning air and whisper dreams of conquest to her children. | This is the goddess-dragon that lives beneath the great icy seas.

| - | This giantess is shown with twenty arms on her torso. Thrust through her body are twelve glistening swords. Each sword represents a badge of honor among the Eishens. When a woman receives honors she is allowed to draw from a diamond statue of Væpna. If her hand is guided and her will strong she will be able to draw forth the weapon. There is no loss of honor if the woman cannot draw forth a weapon. The hand of Væpna is fickle. | + | This giantess is shown with twenty arms on her torso.

| The largest of Eisha’s children, Fryste is a great dragon that lives far to the north. From her eggs are both the powerful ice dragons used by the Eishens, who saved her from being destroyed by the men of fire (see [[atlas:Goth]]). They may have saved her life, but even the Eishens wish to avoid drawing her attention for Fryste hates all that is not herself. Once a year the Eishens travel to her lair and search for any eggs she may have laid. Most of the trips end up either in disaster when Fryste discovers the intruders or no eggs are found. Typically the Sisters find only a single clutch each decade. | The largest of Eisha’s children, Fryste is a great dragon that lives far to the north.

| This large man has a head of pure fire, arms as black as coal, and his legs are the fiery mountains. He is trapped beneath the earth by the freezing breath of Eisha. Occasionally he gets free to destroy the world, until Eisha once again drives him back beneath the earth. It’s his body that keeps the springs warm and the valley warm during the bitter winter. Bathing in the warm water is a sin that only the flatlander men do. | This large man has a head of pure fire, arms as black as coal, and his legs are the fiery mountains.
