Asgeir Dragonrender was a
norn hero who lived during the rise of
Jormag and its push south into the
Far Shiverpeaks. When the norn were on the brink of annihlation by the
Elder Dragon, Asgeir was given the aid of the
Spirits of the Wild to fight it - rumors say he had a powerful
jotun scroll with him as well; the scroll has been lost since, though believed to be in
Hoelbrak. Though he failed to kill Jormag, he took one of its teeth from Jormag's maw as a trophy and proof that the the Elder Dragon can be harmed, being the first to do so. Asgeir then led his people south with the four main Spirits of the Wild -
Bear,
Raven,
Wolf, and
Snow Leopard. In the valleys of the Northern Shiverpeaks, he established
Hoelbrak, and placed the
Fang of the Serpent in
the Great Lodge. During Hoelbrak's creation, an iceberg was threatening to crush the new settlement, so Asgeir sent
Hrothbeir to break it, creating
Lake Mourn.
Asgeir is the grandfather of Knut Whitebear, the current owner of Hoelbrak.
