All-Father, your presence honors me, but now is not the best time.

–Groa, moments before being killed.

Groa was a powerful seer in Norse Mythology, and the wife of Aurvandil.

In the God of War Series

The Lost Pages of Norse Myth

Groa was a gifted seer who at some point married Aurvandil, a warrior. At some point, Thor asked for Aurvandil's help for a quest in Vanaheimr. During the quest, Aurvandil apparently suffered from a battle frost-bite and had to be carried by Thor, who eventually lost Aurvandil in the tundra.

After his disappearance, Groa traversed the Realms looking for ancient tomes that would augment her prophetic powers in order to discover Aurvandil's fate. In the process, Groa became one of the most powerful seers in the Realms, so powerful in fact that even Odin often asked for her knowledge.

However, she still could not find out anything about her husband's whereabouts. After reading the runic incantations in an ancient tome, her powers became so great that she saw a vision about Ragnarok: a three-year winter where the Realms quaked and the skies split, a horrible terror emerging with a flaming sword, an enormous wolf, Gods fighting against each other, and a white ghost from another land with his son.

Odin felt her vision, and paid a visit to Groa's library, demanding for what she knew about Ragnarok. Groa hesitated, and Odin threatened to kill her, just like Thor had killed Aurvandil. After hearing this, Groa refused to tell Odin anything, before being strangled to death by Odin, who took all her knowledge in the process.
