Cool Piece of Trivia

Nifl is named after Niflheim (the land of Frost Giants) and this is more common knowledge. Howevere, I'm not sure how many know what the siblings and their weapons are named after.

They're named after the Elivaga (or however you spell it correctly) from Norse mythology. The nearly frozen rivers that existed in Ginnungagap (never ending abyss/beginning of all) and the rivers are named Svöl, Gunnthrá, Fjörm, Fimbulthul, Slidr, Hríd, Sylgr, Ylgr, Víd, Leiptr and Gjöll.

I remembered this after a while and decided to post it, incase nobody else knew. Probably a cool piece of trivia for any lore fan out there.

Surely a 'cool' piece of trivia

Summer Hrìd wielding Svöl, when?

FE loves Norse mythology as I see.
For example, Magvel legendary weapons are inspired on Norese mythology names as well.

Nidhogg, Innes arch, is an example.
Vidopnir (lance), Garm (axe)
Others are based on other mithologies, for expaple, my favorite one: Excalibur (Anima tome) is based on King Artur sword.

Others have not to be legendary. For example the Ice tome Fimbulvetr is inspired on Norse mythology as well.

Folkvangr is a twin realm of sorts to Valhalla and is ruled over by Freyja or however her name is spelled i forget lol. Also the weapons Huggins egg and munnin's egg are actually named after Odin's ravens. So... Congrats we are throwing around raven eggs.
