Equipment: Arms, armor, wolf mount, vast quantities of wine.
Vis: 4 Corpus, a dead vulture
Appearance: Shield maidens or crones that ride wolves above battlefields, and select the worthy dead. They have excellent equipment and extraordinary training.
These minor goddesses of the Norse pantheon are no longer worshiped in Mythic Europe, but have been encountered by magi in Elysium, and in their ancient places of power in Scandinavia. Their name means \"Chooser of the Slain\", because they are believed to choose who lives and dies during battle, and which spirits are worthy of transformation into einherjar, spiritual warriors awaiting Ragnarok. They also act as serving maids in Valhalla. Many have names that evoke the tumult of battle. They ride through the sky, invisibly, on wolves.
Noticing things, be they things you are looking for or things that you are not expecting. It is also used to see how alert you are in circumstances that require watchfulness.
Specialties: bodyguarding, keeping watch, alertness, searching. (General)

This effect occurs whenever the faerie speaks and costs no Might. It is not magically resisted, because the effect only alters the behavior of the faerie. If the faerie has not heard a person from its audience speak, it may only use whichever language it last used with humans. Once its audience speaks, the faerie may then converse in the correct language for its audience.
In the bestiary chapter, Faerie Speech is frequently given to characters designed as NPCs. Characters designed for possible use by players have this Virtue more rarely, to free up a Virtue slot, but it is still appropriate for a wide variety of faeries.
