Tjor of Mjol

In the fantasy book, 'The Trinity Throne', Tjor, the son of Mjol, was the third crowned bishop-king of Thaelfasia. He was the younger of Mjol's two children and born much later after his sister, Heilda, who was disappointed to have lost inheritance of the Thaelfagen throne to the birth of her brother. Tjor was still a child when he inherited the throne. Heilda encouraged him to appoint her as his sole adviser, which he did, allowing Heilda to briefly puppeteer the kingdom, and overrule the collective wisdom of the bishop-king's councilmen.

Tjor became almost entirely reliant on his sister, who ultimately led him to believe that their god, Sygrid, was in fact a woman. Images of Sygrid in a feminine form swiftly replaced the male icon throughout temples, on statues, and on decorative art on Tjor's orders. This caused a lot of outrage, especially amongst the pious bishops who refused to worship Sygrid as a woman. After a historic wave of downcasting, many bishops surrendered and changed their icons.

Tjor was the first Thaelfagen to compete for the Trinity Throne during the First Crossing, strongly encouraged by Heilda, who hoped to spread the word of a feminine Sygrid across all the Nordlands and Myrden as well, to form a unified theocratic empire. Tjor was reluctant to try, but believed Sygrid would give him the gust in his wings to cross the sea to Fjorgallahar during high tide. Unfortunately, he was struck by lightning, killing him and casting his body into the sea. His grandmother, Vesta, was so distraught by the loss that she later died of grief. His wife, Edna of Keifir, acted as queen reagent until Tjor's first son, Tjormol, was old enough to ascend to the throne. Heilda was cast out of the royal court by Edna.

Tjor had two other children with Edna before his death: Thova, and Odjin.

The Tjor Sea is named after Tjor of Mjol, being the sea he perished in while attempting to reach Fjorgallahar.

The Revival of Tjor
Unbeknownst to the Thaelfagen, and any member of the royal family, Tjor's body washed up on the island of Varkrona, and he was plucked out of the waters by missionaries attempting to convert the local centaur tribes to worship their gods. Seeing him as an angel, the monks took his corpse to Saxonby and attempted to revive him. Apothecaries infected him with Myr poison, to un-drown his lungs. Tjor was revived, but as a blue-eyed, screeching, winged monster. He remained locked up and chained in the dungeons below the Saxonby church for millennia, becoming the rotten corpse of a terrifying creature, as the monks continued to work on a cure. Tjor's screeches can be heard by those who venture deep into the church.

In the current story, Lot Audbjorn meets the Saxonby monks, including Friar Bagwyn after also washing up on Varkrona during a storm. He goes snooping around the church when he suspects something odd afoot, and comes across the iron cage wherein the winged, skeletal monster is locked away. He leaves promptly. After Lot shares with Friar Bagwyn stories of how Tjor of Mjol was quite susceptible to suggestion, and spent most of his life as a pawn of his sister's religious agenda, the monks are fascinated with the idea to continue that work, but of their god (Dodaan). Bagwyn begins reading religious scripture to the monster Tjor nightly, until he begins to become brainwashed. Bagwyn tests Tjor's devotion to Dodaan by instructing him one night to burn down a centaur village for their heresy. The monster does, and returns to its cage faithfully. Bagwyn continues to use the monster for his own agenda, ultimately preparing it to take the Trinity Throne and install a Dodaanic empire.
