History[]
- The past
Not much is know about Freya's church history. For example, we don't know how the order lost his relic on Lavias or if the order was part of the Niflheim Empire. But what we know is that the order was ready to risk a lot to gain influence in the Northern regions, fallen to Bar Khan and his minions after the the Fall of the Nifleheim Empire.
- The present
The rise of the Church of Freya as the main religion in the northern part of Versailles Continent is due to the long standing relationship between the Church and Weed. It's all started in Baran Village when Weed accepted and finished the quest given by the elder to rescue their villagers[6]. After completing the quest, the elder gave Weed a quest to fix the Statue of Goddess of Freya that's been destroyed. When Weed finished the quest to build a sculpture of Goddess of Freya, the elder gave him a quest to retrieve the Lost Treasure of Church of Freya[7]. This lost treasure is one of the three sacred items of the Church of Freya. The Church warned that there is an evil armies amassing. Using the seed, Weed went to Lavias where the race Avian lives. Weed went to the Bar Khan's Crypt dungeon and saved Seagull which prompted him giving Weed a quest to retrieve the treasure of Freya inside the crypt. Van Hawk was the boss to beat to get to the altar where Helain’s Grail was placed.[8]. The Pope rewarded Weed with some items, Agatha’s Holy Sword, Rose engraved gloves, Ring of the High Priest[9].
In the process, 2 strong henchmen of Bar Khan were defeated (Van Hawk and Tori and stolen from him by Weed). Then the Lich Shire and his undead Legion were destroyed. Later on, Bar Khan himself was defeated twice. The enmity between Freya's Church and the undead necromancer is strong
- A New and strong Spiritual force on the Northern Continent
While supporting and investing in Weed, Freya's order took an important risk in the North. Everything could have been lost to evil forces hidden in the North. But eventually, thanks to Weed wise leadership, the investment payed off. Now, Freya, the goddess of Fertily is revered in the North and the order has made very strong alliance with the Arpen Kingdom [10].
Trivia[]
