In Norse mythology, Bragi was the god of wisdom, poetry, and eloquence,
whose song celebrated the deeds of warriors. His wife was Idun, the goddess
of youth. Bragi was fathered by (or as likely was a manifestation of) Odin.
Bragi plays the the song of life with his golden harp. With his
harp he is able to make plants grow and bloom and charm any animal into
doing his will.
His wife is Idun the goddess of Spring and youth.
Roleplaying Notes
Whenever people sing or recite poetry they are worshipping Bragi.
Since this is a favourite pastime in every hall, Bragi never lacks worshippers.
He is a special friends to Bards and often reveals to them the location
of secret treasures. Most often , this revelation occurs as a sudden insight
while the bard is singing before a large crowd. If the Bard interrupts
his song, however he immediately forgets the location of the treasure.
