They're going to get the soul of one of the gods here, Freyr. He blew himself up on the battlefield, apparently because that was the only way to stalemate the fight going on and stalemate was the best they could do. You know, big heroic sacrifice.

So his twin sister, Freya, went nuts that apparently no one was trying to help bring him back and cursed us all to live out one another's worst nightmares. The other gods were actually sensible and realized she couldn't keep going like this, but then they shit all over it by polling the travellers here about whether she should just be killed or everyone should go on a stupid, deadly mission to get Freyr's soul back so that she'd calm down.

You know which one they picked.
