Skírnir

Skírnir is a Norse god and a messenger serving Frey. A thousand years ago his demigod son, Leif Erikson, was the captain of Viking explorers landed in North America before Christopher Columbus.

History

Skírnir was given the sword Sumarbrander by his master so that the lord of Alfheim may see the giantess Gerd. He would pass the sword on to his demigod son Leif Erikson, who would lose it after landing in what would become Boston, Massachusetts.
