This all-male cult of norn have rejected their race's reverence for the Spirits of the Wild. Instead, they're obsessed with emulating what they see as the greatest predator in Tyria: the Elder Dragon Jormag, who drove the norn from the northern Shiverpeaks over a century ago.
~ Codex Of Svanir

The Sons of Svanir are a major antagonistic force that serve as the main villains of Guild Wars 2's Norn Personal Story campaign as well as the "Icebrood Saga". They are a cult of only male Norns that have rejected the teachings of The Spirits of the Wild and instead worship the Elder Dragon Jormag as the ultimate spirit. And now they attempt to dismantle the teachings of the Spirits of the Wild in favor of the Ice Dragon's teachings.

History[]

The origins on how the Sons of Svanir came to be started in the year 1070 AE with a Norn hunter named Svanir and his sister Jora. The two hunters led an expedition over at Drakkar Lake until suddenly they heard voices Jormag from within the lake. Jormag offered Svanir great power and prey if he were to join their side. Svanir continued to communicate with the dragon until he was driven to madness by it's influence and agreed, becoming a terrifying werebear. Jormag then tried to do the same to Jora, but Jora refused the dragon's temptations, and so she fought and eventually slew her now corrupted brother, making her a hero in the eyes of the Norn and the Spirits. This still did not deter Jormag, thru a span of 150 years Jormag persuaded and corrupted any norn that came across them into join their side thru sympathy and power offerings, creating a cult of psychopathic, devoted, followers. Until the year 1165 AE, in which Jormag awakened from its slumber and went on a rampage thru the Northern Shiverpeaks forcing the Norn to retreat further to the south, while the Sons of Svanir stayed and were corrupted further into the first icebrood minions. Jormag eventually went back into slumbering but the Northern Shiverpeaks now belong to the Sons of Svanir. Since then, the Sons of Svanir have become the main enemy of the Norn and have been in constant battle ever since.

Because of the "betrayal" of Svanir's sister, Jora, they despise all women and kill them on sight, even if the women become corrupted by Jormag and are willing to serve.
