Conan waxes poetic about the incomparable beauty of the frost giant's daughter! Now the weak-kneed barbarian knows why the Aesir covet them so . We also see a strong resemblance to Deborah Ann Woll.

Since t hen he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the  Map of Midgard  project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay.   If you have e mployment/ opportunities in  investigative mythology,  field research, or product development to offer,  do contact him .
