Logi was a fire giant in Jotunheim, the land of giants in the plane of Ysgard.[1]
History[]
In the Year of Wild Magic, 1372 DR,[note 1] a group of adventurers from the city of Ravens Bluff journeyed to the plane of Ysgard in the Great Wheel cosmology in search of the legendary Well of Mimir, having been instructed by the city's Ministry of Art to do so in order to learn how a powerful githyanki artifact known only as the Great Machine could be destroyed.[2] While in traveling in Jotunheim they met Habrok Icecaster and, after proving their worth to him by slaying a bulette, he brought them to the beer-hall Okalnir.[3] Sensing the hall's giants were indifferent towards the adventurers, the hall's proprietor Brimir proposed a contest of four tests. He was even willing to wager three magic items if the adventurers would wager three comparably permanent or major charged items. The items he wagered included a Svartalfheim cloak, a horn of Valhalla,[1] and a great war maul known as Grungir's hammer.[4]
Logi, who was visiting Okalnir at the time, was chosen as the giant champion of eating. In the first of four tests, they competed to be the first to reach the middle of a 10 feet (3 meters) long trencher filled with stew.[1]
Appendix[]
Background[]
The character of Logi was likely inspired by Logi, a jotunn in Norse myth who in the Gylfaginning similarly competed against Loki in an eating competition involving a trencher in the hall of Utgard-Loki.
Notes[]
- ↑ The events of the Living City Ravens Bluff campaign took place on a timeline that advanced together with the real world's time. Even though all Living City adventures and issues of Ravens Bluff Trumpeter were dated with real-world dates, there were events that received a DR year. The Living City timeline can be derived from Myrkyssa Jelan's historic events of the late 14th century DR. Myrkyssa Jelan attacked Ravens Bluff in 1370 DR, according to The City of Ravens Bluff and Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd edition; these events are chronicled in an in-and-out of universe issues of Ravens Bluff Trumpeter. This places the real world year 1997 as 1370 DR, and in 1998 (1371 DR), Myrkyssa was at last arrested and tried and said to have been executed, only to reappear in 1372 DR in The City of Ravens novel. As the real world's months and the Calendar of Harptos are virtually identical, we can also date all events of the Living City Ravens Bluff as close as an in-universe month.
