Heilda of Mjol

In the fantasy book, 'The Trinity Throne', Heilda was the eldest child of King-Bishop Mjol, and sister to King-Bishop Tjor. Heilda was disappointed that her younger brother was crowned as ruler of Thaelfasia instead of her, and so Heilda encouraged Tjor take her on as a court adviser in order gain power as a secret puppeteer of her younger brother. Heilda swiftly because quite a dominant voice within the Thaefagen court, often overruling the collective wisdom of the bishop-king's other councilmen, until Tjor became completely reliant upon her for advice on ruling and worship.

Heilda was a pious woman, with ambitions to turn Thaelfasia into an empire that encompassed all the kingdoms of the earth and sea as well. She was also very spiritual, and trained with oracles using herbs and drugs and chants to speak to Sygrid. It was through these ritualistic sessions that Heilda stumbled upon the revelation that Sygrid was a woman. Heilda constructed many drawings, poems, and patchworks that depicted Sygrid with a feminine form, and quickly she became obsessed with the concept. Heilda then used her herbs to subdue her brother into also believing in a feminized Sygrid. Tjor embraced his sister's belief and declared it as law across all of Thaelfasia, resulting in a dramatic religious shift to replace all status, temple art, and texts with the feminine Sygrid. Bishops who refused to accept Tjor's declaration were downcast from the Altar Stone, until eventually the kingdom surrendered to this new imagery of their god. Upon discovering its existence, Heilda encouraged Tjor to compete for the Trinity Throne against the Norldandic chiefs and Myr rulers, in the hopes his victory would complete her plans to form an empire across Allgardt. Unfortunately, he died, and the Thaelfagen throne was swiftly occupied by his wife, Edna of Keifir, until their first son, Tjormol, was old enough to be bishop-king. When Alod, Heilda's paternal uncle,eventually won the Trinity Throne, Heilda abandoned Thaelfasia to offer herself up as Alod's wife, with the intention to become empress of Alod's new world. They had three children together, however, both boys (eldest and youngest) died from an unknown plague that consumed Heilda and Alod as well. The middle child, Tjorheilda, survived the disease and was taken back to Thaelfasia by Tjormol's soldiers, thus abandoning the Trinity Throne.
