Nerþuz: God of the Land
Nerþuz is a goddess who rules the land of Vanaheimr, the realm of light. She's the sister of Njörðr, the god who rules the seas!	She's also the aunt of Freyr, the king of Ljósálfheimr, and his sister, Freyja, the queen of Dökkálfheimr. A gentle goddess, Nerþuz loves all things that live on the earth, from beasts to human beings.	But now she's secluded herself within the Land Temple, having stolen the Ár, source of her brother Njörðr's power. Doesn't she know siblings are supposed to get along nicely with each other?	If we're going to stop Gullveig's curse from bringing the world to ruin, we need the power of the Ár. After desperately begging Nerþuz, we managed to get it from her without any trouble! I still don't really understand her advice, but we should be able to stop Gullveig's curse now!

Nerþuz: New-Year Doter
A special guest from Vanaheimr has come to join us for the New Year in Askr! Here's Nerþuz, the god of the land, and she's wearing a special kimono for the celebration!	This wonderfully elegant outfit has a stylish black-and-purple theme. It's just the thing for bringing out Nerþuz's alluring charm!	You might also have noticed that she's holding a little paper crane. I heard it was a gift from one of the children—isn't that sweet?	Nerþuz loves all life that lives on the land. After seeing that spectacular kimono of hers, I'm sure we've got an amazing year ahead of us!

Nerþuz: Beach Chaperone
Nerþuz is a god from Vanaheimr, the realm of light, and she's descended upon the summer seaside with a truly divine swimsuit look!	Here she is, with her hair and horns lit up by some eye-catching seaside decorations. Her pareo features some lovely red-and-white hibiscus flowers, and she also has a seashell decoration slung across the back!	Oh, and the sundae she's carrying has a cookie in it...and it looks just like me! Aw, Nerþuz, you're making me blush!	Nerþuz has the dignity of a god while also having a very playful and affectionate personality. Oh, and it looks like she's inviting me over to hang out! I'll be right there, Nerþuz!

Nerþuz: Divine Abundance
Nerþuz is the god of the land and the sister of Njörðr, ruler of Vanaheimr. She's here to take part in the harvest festival!	And here's her special festival costume! Her arms and legs are covered in bandages, and she's wearing a spiderweb accessory in her hair—making for an outfit that's equally spooky and alluring!	She's also carrying a bouquet that has a jack-o'-lantern peeking out. Just the kind of playful accessory that's right at home at the harvest festival!	From animals to people, Nerþuz loves everything that lives on the land. I hope she brings lots of that love to the festival!
