The keeper of the old faith, sword first · The Greenlanders

Freydis Eriksdotter (The keeper of the old faith, sword first) is a character in Vikings: Valhalla, part of The Greenlanders. Freydis Eriksdotter comes to Kattegat carrying a cross-shaped scar on her back and the debt owed to the Christian Viking who put it there — settled, knife in hand, in the season's first act of justice. Leif's sister becomes the old faith's standard-bearer in a North converting at sword-point: pilgrim to Uppsala, shieldmaiden of the temple, eventually the last keeper of pagan Scandinavia's survivors. Where her brother sails toward the unknown, Freydis plants herself: someone has to hold what the new god is erasing.
