Template:Infobox gods Freyr is a Vanir God and brother of Freya.
Norse Mythology
Freyr (Old Norse: Lord), sometimes anglicized as Frey, is a widely attested god associated with sacral kingship, virility and prosperity, with sunshine and fair weather, and pictured as a phallic fertility god in Norse mythology. Freyr is said to "bestow peace and pleasure on mortals." Freyr, sometimes referred to as Yngvi-Freyr, was especially associated with Sweden and seen as an ancestor of the Swedish royal house.
In the Icelandic books the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, Freyr is presented as one of the Vanir, the son of the sea god Njörðr, as well as the twin brother of the goddess Freyja. The gods gave him Álfheimr, the realm of the Elves, as a teething present. He rides the shining dwarf-made boar Gullinbursti and possesses the ship Skíðblaðnir which always has a favorable breeze and can be folded together and carried in a pouch when it is not being used. He has the servants Skírnir, Byggvir and Beyla.
The most extensive surviving Freyr myth relates Freyr's falling in love with the female jötunn Gerðr. Eventually, she becomes his wife but first Freyr has to give away his magic sword which fights on its own "if wise be he who wields it." Although deprived of this weapon, Freyr defeats the jötunn Beli with an antler. However, lacking his sword, Freyr will be killed by the fire jötunn Surtr during the events of Ragnarök.
Like other Germanic deities, veneration of Freyr is revived in the modern period in Heathenry movement.
In the God of War Series
Freyr is noted for being one of the few gods welcomed in Alfheim, to the point that he has his own temple there which Mimir describes as "beautiful."
According to Mimir, Freyr has a long history with the elves.
Atreus can find a note in Freyr's temple left by the Light Elves, who have recently regained control of the Light of Alfiem but believe Freyr's presence will ensure true peace. Freyr had sent them forces and the sword of legend to help the Light Elves but he himself has yet to appear.
The Light Elves wish to help Freyr. Some believe he has returned to Vanaheim while others believe he is being held in Asgard. Unfortunately, the paths to both realms are shut.
