“ Hear my words, Ølvar Sigváldssen! As you slay a giant, a giant shall slay you! And by the time that giant's axe finds your neck, you shall be hated by all, even your own sons! ” —Excerpt from the Saga of Sigváldssen, a twelve-part epic loosely based on the feud between the warrior-king Ølvar Sigváldssen and the frost giant Torbrog Glacier-Bones When a slain frost giant is brought into undeath, the giant may rise as a frost giant aptrgangr instead of the intended undead. An aptrgangr stands at the heart of a constantly raging blizzard and can freeze enemies solid just by standing near them. The arisen giants retain all their memories from before their deaths and are overcome with the need to avenge themselves. This vengeance can take many forms. A giant killed by a rival, monster or band of adventurers would only be satisfied by bloody retribution, while one who died of disease might set out to find a cure or provide aid to one suffering from the same illness. Once the giant's desire is met, the aptrgangr will collapse into ice and snow, returning to eternal rest. If the giant finds that it is impossible to find vengeance for whatever reason, for instance, the giant's killer is already dead, the aptrgangr will make do with whatever can be managed, such as killing one or more of the killer's descendants. Other frost giants consider interfering with a frost giant aptrgangr's quest to be meddling in divine will, so they give these undead giants a wide berth. Undead Nature. A frost giant aptrgangr doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
