Wieland



The Crippled Smith, The Wanderer

Description of character
Wieland is known as a pessimistic, depressed god. Often depicted in many stories as betrayed by the gods and mortal (aswell as divine and immortal) women, he is eternally on the search for a wife. He has two aspects: The Wandering Aspect, in which he becomes a sociable Old Man, a teller of stories wandering the lands and spreading poverty to the greedy and the avaricious and giving gifts(mostly artifacts of great power created during his Smith Aspect) to those who spend freely and who are good hosts.

In his other aspect his leg becomes crippled and he becomes a young bearded male. He emits an Aura which repulses females and his general psychological outlook becomes darker and depressed. Searching for places of Solitudes he sets up his Smithy and creates Artifacts of great Power and gives them to those he either deems worthy or who can promise him a wife. In this aspect he creates vast arsenals filled with artifacts and weapons and tools. Once he has created enough or been betrayed by his promised wife he turns back into the Wanderer aspect, eternally changing between a nomadic lifestyle and a sedentary one.
