Organization

Astral Ward

Frode Wurmsbearer is the former norn shaman of Wurm and the current Warden of the Astral Ward. He has a daughter, Arina Copperwolf, with his late wife Ragna Copperwolf. Alongside Mabon, Frode petitioned twice to recruit the Pact Commander into the Astral Ward, though both attempts were unsuccessful.

Biography

Early years

Frode was a shaman of Wurm, but lost his faith after witnessing harrowing events involving his friend Sejm in the north and left the homestead and family to be on his own as he could no longer look them in the eye and believed that Arina would not miss him. Frode was then found by and recruited into the Astral Ward by Uenno and Isgarren and was hand-chosen to be the next Warden to lead the Astral Ward by the previous Warden, Levente.
