Fjord (pronounced "Ford") is a half-orc warlock/paladin. He is played by Travis Willingham.
Description[]
Appearance[]
Fjord is a half-orc with green skin, yellow eyes with vertical slit pupils, and black hair with a lock of gray. He has notable scars on the left side of his face, an X-shaped pair on his forehead that cuts through his brow past his eye and one through his upper lip.[21] He is about 6'1".[22][23] He has been described as handsome by multiple characters, including Jester Lavorre, Beauregard Lionett, Caleb Widogast and Nott.[24][25] Over the course of their journey, he let his hair grow out. When it got a bit longer in "With Great Power..." (2x94), Fjord, with Beau's assistance, tied it into a small topknot after watching Caleb tie his hair.[26] He also started growing out his beard, with the first noticeable stubble appearing in "Bathhouses and Bastions" (2x90) after a day at the spa. By the time the party headed to Aeor, his beard was fully grown.[27]
At the start of the campaign, his orc tusks were intentionally shortened and not visible when his mouth is closed; the tusks have scratches, divots, and chips across the top.[28] After "A Favor in Kind" (2x16), he decided to stop shortening them,[28] and by "Clay and Dust" (2x72), they had grown back enough to be casually visible.[29]
At the beginning of the campaign, Fjord wore beat-up, piecemeal leather armor. While having an enchantment transferred onto his armor by Pumat Sol, Fjord also had his armor cleaned up.[30] He additionally purchased a Cloak of Protection from The Invulnerable Vagrant when he collected enough gold and wore it for most of his journey.[31] Following his first vision from the Wildmother, Fjord etched wave designs into his armor as they traveled to the King's Cage.[32] As the Nein prepared to head to Aeor, Fjord purchased warmer clothes for the harsher climate. Unlike the others, he didn't have his custom-made.[33] Later in "The Chase Begins" (2x112), when they found an animal pelt in a wreck, he attached it to his new cloak.[34]
During the battle with Cree in the tunnels beneath Cognouza, Fjord acquired a red eye on his left palm.[35] Upon Lucien's final defeat, the eye vanished from his person.
Following his pact with Zehir, a mark in form of black rune is burnt into Fjord's chest.[36] After successfully sealing Uk'otoa, the Wildmother removed the mark from his chest.[37]
In the following years, Fjord grew a well-groomed and trimmed mustache and beard, and wore new black metal armor with his sea-themed symbol of the Wildmother and waves etched into it, layered over his old leather armor. He also wore dark green, thicker-looking clothes with a long cloak on top. At some point after sealing Uk'otoa, he began to wear looser, bolder clothing, gained more muscular mass, shaved his mustache and beard, and grew his hair beyond his shoulders. Moreover, he got a full-sleeve tattoo on his right arm depicting waves and Uk'otoa's scaly rings with eyes, extending to his neck and chest.
Personality[]
Fjord is described as a strong silent type,[38] and he tends to keep a cool and rational frame of mind. Though willing to break rules when needed,[39][40] he seems to operate under certain principles of honor, claiming that he tries to be honest and he thinks people should do what they say they will.[41] However, when he raised the question with his other party members of whether they would hijack a caravan, Fjord told the thievery-prone Nott that he did not want to change her behavior to be more lawful and that he might take her up on the offer to learn how to steal.[42]
Fjord at level 20, by Hannah Friederichs.[art 9]
Fjord is able to change his voice with ease and magically alter his appearance at will, and he is eager to use his talents to get the party out of difficult situations.[43][44] He initially spoke mimicking Vandran's accent[45] (a Texan English) around the other party members, using only his natural accent (a light English accent) during dreams with his warlock patron[46] or when alone.[47] Jester Lavorre implied to him that she felt this was his way of mourning Vandran, and that he would stop if they found Vandran alive, although Fjord did not confirm that.[48] Fjord himself said that he felt mimicking Vandran's voice allowed him an ability to be listened to that he never possessed before, which "felt better". He began to fully use his own voice again in "Clay and Dust" (2x72) after breaking his warlock pact and coming to feel that imitating Vandran no longer suited or served him.[45]
Fjord was shown multiple times to be ready to put himself in dangerous situations to protect the party and ensure everyone got out safely, as he usually could teleport out. But even in "The King's Cage" (2x69), where he used his last spell to attempt to get Yasha out of the King's Cage and could no longer teleport, he still chose to stay in the chamber to assist everyone in escaping.[49] This led to him being almost killed by a controlled Yasha while held by the Laughing Hand. As most of the party began panicking while hiding from Gelidon in "Fair-weather Faith" (2x123), Fjord knew that one breath attack from the ancient dragon would badly hurt most of them. So, he chose to fly out of his hiding spot to distract the dragon from the group's location while they prepared for a fight.[50] On the same day, after being betrayed by the Tombtakers who were about to kill some members of the party, Fjord once again teleported into the middle of the enemy group to give the others a chance to escape while Lucien and the Tombtakers focused on him.[51] He was even willing to stay behind and sacrifice himself if it meant the others could get to safety.[52] But when everyone made it to Beau, who was transformed into a mammoth, Fjord managed to teleport to the rest of the Nein. As they prepared for their final battle against the Tombtakers in "Aeor" (2x132), he was ready to fight to his last breath, noting to Beau that there was no running for him.[53]
Beneath his mysterious exterior, Fjord appears to harbor deep-seated insecurities about how he is perceived by others and shortens his tusks to appear more approachable.[54] He has some body image issues; he sees himself as "misproportioned" compared to other orcish children and feels the need to look more muscular around full-blood orcs.[55][56][57] He has no desire to lose the magical powers he has obtained because he feels like who he was before he got them was not a person worth being.[58] When he eventually lost his powers in "Clay and Dust" (2x72), he downplayed his abilities and told the others that he would just be a liability, though they tried to reassure him that he was quite an asset, as he had been able to get them out of several dangerous situations using only his words.[59][60] In "Uthodurn" (2x73), even without his magic, he was ready to put himself in danger for the others once again, holding off a giant remorhaz using only a whip and his own strength. After the fight, Fjord was willing to stay in front of the group in case something attacked again.[61]
Biography[]
Background[]
Fjord was orphaned and grew up in the Driftwood Asylum orphanage in Port Damali in the Menagerie Coast. He does not know who his parents were,[62][63] and his earliest memories are of the Driftwood Asylum.[64] Grankton, the headmaster of the orphanage, gave him the last name "Stone" to remind him that he had been cast aside, like a stone.[65][66] Life in the orphanage was difficult: the orphanage was associated with the Myriad,[67][68] and the children were set to work creating wooden goods for sale.[69]
He described himself as a chubby, short, mis-proportioned stumpy kid with big teeth.[70] He was the only half-orc child in the orphanage, and the other children teased him relentlessly for being different; the leader of those bullies was Sabian, a half-elf and a cruel boy, although popular with the other orphans, and he enjoyed bullying Fjord and making the other children behave in a similar way, both in private and during tasks Headmaster Grankton gave the children.[71] The hurtful comments about his appearance, particularly those about his tusks, drove Fjord to shorten them himself to ward off the teasing. Because his tusks continually grow, Fjord began shortening them regularly, despite how painful it was; he claimed he continued to do so in adulthood out of habit, not "necessarily" because he felt the same about his tusks as in childhood, but he generally remained self-conscious when others noticed his tusks.[28][72]
He eventually worked at the docks, at one point loading and off-loading goods for the Pink Giver.[73] Around 822 PD[74] Captain Vandran of the Tide's Breath arrived at the orphanage looking for new crew members, and Fjord volunteered, despite the fact that Sabian was going too.[75] They both spent many years as part of the merchant ship's crew,[76][77] and Fjord worked primarily as a boatswain, with some additional responsibilities in barrel-keeping,[78] and ultimately became the ship's first mate and quartermaster.[79][80] Vandran grew fond of Fjord, mentoring him throughout the years, and they developed a close personal relationship in which Fjord considered him like a father and Vandran grew paternally protective of Fjord.[81][82] During that whole period Sabian didn't show his dislike towards Fjord openly, but he subtly worked against him, once even trying to dump him overboard.[83]
In early 835 PD, Fjord briefly met Jester Lavorre in Port Damali while she was searching for her father, who was a sailor, along the Coast and playing tricks on people.[84] He saw her multiple times in the city afterward.[85][86] Shortly after, he left Port Damali aboard the Tide's Breath for an unknown port west of Darktow.[87]

As the ship returned, Sabian decided to sabotage the ship: Fjord walked in on Sabian lighting a fuse in the cargo hold, but before he could react the half-elf wounded him with throwing daggers, ran to the deck of the ship, and jumped into the ocean.[88] Fjord was knocked into the water by the explosion (for further detail, see: Tide's Breath).[89][90] Panicked and desperate, the half-orc subconsciously agreed to a pact with Uk'otoa to avoid fatally drowning;[91] upon waking on the shore of Bisaft Isle,[87] he could not remember the pact.[91] discovering his new falchion and powers. He returned to Port Damali to investigate Vandran's warehouse there, finding that Sabian had survived[92] and had come to raid the place shortly before his arrival.[89] Multiple people in Port Damali quickly noticed that the Tide's Breath and its crew did not return, except for Sabian and Fjord.[93][94]

Because Fjord's survival of the sinking was met with suspicion,[94] he left the city (using the magic he had just acquired)[95] and, remembering that Jester cast spells, pursued her to the next town over.[86] Jester could not help him in understanding his magic, so he decided to travel to the Soltryce Academy in Rexxentrum in the Dwendalian Empire. He asked if she would like to accompany him, and she agreed.[86][96] During their time traveling to the Empire, Fjord changed his bearing and accent to imitate Vandran.[97] After about a week and a half of travel along the Amber Road, they arrived in Trostenwald and, about a day or two before "Curious Beginnings" (2x01), met Beauregard Lionett.[98][96] The three of them saved the daughter of Rinaldo, a fisherman in town, from a giant snake.[99]

"Curious Beginnings" (2x01)
The next day at the Nestled Nook Inn in Trostenwald, Fjord, Jester, and Beauregard were approached by Rinaldo, who thanked them again for saving his daughter. Feeling bad for not giving them anything the day before, he had collected some coins for them. Initially, Fjord didn’t want to accept the money, but Beau and Jester convinced him to take it. While Beau counted the coins, Fjord mentioned that he didn’t need his share as he had recently done well in a card game. As Beau split the money, Fjord noticed Caleb Widogast and Nott glaring at them. He was immediately suspicious of them. Everyone was invited by Mollymauk Tealeaf to a show put on by the The Fletching and Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities. When Jester acted boisterously, Fjord reminded her that they were supposed to be keeping a low profile. While the group introduced themselves, Beau held Caleb’s cat, Frumpkin, which made Fjord uncomfortable. He explained that he was allergic to cats. Nott then asked if Fjord could use magic like Jester. Fjord said he knew a little magic and was trying to learn more at the Soltryce Academy. Jester revealed that Fjord had won a lot of money gambling with workers at their previous job, and they had swindled the employees, making them unwelcome there. Fjord immediately told her not to talk about it out loud.
Agreeing to travel with Caleb and Nott, Fjord asked Nott if they were running from someone. He sensed she was lying when she denied it. That night, the group went to the carnival, where unexpected events intertwined the fates of the seven individuals who had met in a simple pub. When an elderly man transformed into a zombie, they all grabbed their weapons. Fjord headed straight for the zombie, raised his hand as shadows swirled around it, and attacked it with his falchion. A city guard arrived to investigate, and he immediately distrusted the group. Fjord tried to explain what happened, but when he saw Jester pretending to be sick, the guard tried to attack her. Fjord ran to intervene, but Yasha pulled out her sword to stop the guard. When reinforcements arrived, most of the group lied about their identities. Following a misunderstanding with Beau, Fjord told the guards his name was Bo.[100] After Yasha ran off, the party set out to investigate the mysterious circumstances of the show and clear their names.
"A Show of Scrutiny" (2x02)
Fjord and the others were ordered by the guards to stay within the city limits so they could be called in for questioning later. He and Jester decided to follow the watchmaster to the stockades to ensure Molly was set free. Fjord questioned Molly about whether something like this had ever happened to them and who the large toad with Toya was. As they were about to leave for the inn, they saw Beauregard being dragged in chains to the stockades. Fjord followed her to negotiate her release. The guards told him to wait for the lawmaster, Norda, in the morning, but Fjord managed to expedite the process with Norda, who was about to leave. He fabricated a story that something similar to what happened to Toya had happened to Beauregard's sister. Despite Beau misunderstanding Fjord's intentions, he was convincing enough to secure her release.[101] The group was then put under house arrest at the Nestled Nook Inn until the investigation was complete. Everyone regrouped at a table, and Fjord ordered some whiskey. He inquired about Molly’s swordsmanship and Caleb’s magic, who showed him a trick involving Nott. When prompted, Fjord revealed that he had recently discovered his ability to use magic. However, he sidestepped further questions about how this had happened to him, instead sharing that he grew up in Port Damali, where he first met Jester.[102] As everyone was about to rest for the night, Molly asked where he would be sleeping, and Fjord offered his room since he was the only one there.
The next morning, Fjord saw Molly praying over the swords and was confused. When Molly fabricated a story about his family tradition, Fjord saw through the lie. Later, Jester came to Fjord’s room with a plan to use their magic to sneak out and investigate. Fjord used Mask of Many Faces to transform into an older farmer and helped Beau sound more manly for her disguise.[103] After suggesting they pass the guards in pairs, Fjord and Beau made it out without any trouble. At the docks, Fjord dropped his disguise and asked Rinaldo about any strange occurrences lately, including the old man who turned into a zombie. While everyone else sneaked back into the tavern, Fjord disguised himself again and distracted the guards. Fjord stayed in the inn with the rest until midnight, then snuck out again to the carnival with the others. Disguised as a guard, and with Caleb following suit, Fjord struck up a conversation with one of the approaching guards using a British accent, inquiring about the investigation. This allowed him to get back into the tent where the attack took place. Caleb complimented Fjord on his ability to change voices.[104] While searching the tent for the body, Fjord found some shedding layers of flesh where the transformation had occurred.
"The Midnight Chase" (2x03)
In the fight against the zombified guards, Fjord and Caleb emerged from the tent. Fjord pulled out his falchion, aimed it at a zombie, and fired off an Eldritch Blast. After they finished off the zombies, Beau told the group that they should get rid of the bodies, and Fjord suggested throwing them into the lake. While Fjord took the unconscious Molly toward the horses, Jester and Beau picked up the dead guards. Jester grew worried when Fjord suggested they follow the toad, fearing they might get into another fight while already roughed up. She expressed her trust in him, and he promised that if things looked too dangerous, he would stand down. Fjord then hopped on a horse he named Shelby and followed the toad's escape direction, with the others in the wagon.[105] When the group considered cutting their losses and leaving the town, Fjord convinced them to wait until they found the toad before making a decision. When Jester and Fjord found some tracks leading into the lake, they realized they had no way to reach the island and returned to the inn.

The next day, Fjord told the group they needed a vessel to follow the fiend to the island. Jester suggested stealing a boat, but Fjord was confident he could secure their passage. Beau asked how, and Jester revealed that Fjord used to be a sailor, which was how she met him.[106] Disguised as usual, Fjord diverted the guards' attention by pretending to be an elderly man who had seen a creature attacking someone, allowing everyone to sneak outside. Rejoining the group, Fjord reassured them he could get a boat without payment. Fjord and Jester then split off to find a suitable vessel. Approaching a nearby man, Fjord, using a British accent, inquired about passage to Crookedstone Island in the Ustaloch. When Fjord revealed he was a sailor from Port Damali, the man agreed to take them to the island for a couple of bottles of wine.[107] While Beau went to buy the wine, Jester pulled Fjord aside and mentioned that his accent just now reminded her of the one he used in Port Damali. She said she liked both versions, and he replied that he was quite partial to the Texan one himself.
On the island, the party found Kylre, the nergaliid they had been hunting. During the battle, Fjord used Hexblade's Curse on Kylre, causing his falchion to grow barnacles and drip water as he fired an Eldritch Blast.[108] He moved closer to the toad and hit it with Wrathful Smite, making it afraid of him. Fjord secured the killing blow on Kylre by slamming his Eldritch Blast into the nergaliid and turning it to ash.[109]
"Disparate Pieces" (2x04)
The man who took them to the island started panicking when he saw the cut-off head of the nergaliid. Fjord was pulled aside by Caleb, who cautioned him that the man would most likely report them to the authorities. However, Fjord believed that he was an upstanding person and would keep it to himself. Fjord told the rest of the group that he would prefer not to use violence against an innocent person. After convincing the sailor of their intentions, they discussed their plan on the way back. Fjord, Beau, and Caleb agreed that the less attention they attracted, the better. Fjord suggested staying with the head, disguised as a guard, while the others went to the inn and Caleb fetched Norda. Upon reaching the dock, Fjord jumped off the ship and, while hidden, disguised himself as a crownsguard, fooling the sailor. After an hour of waiting, he hid in the shadows and took on a different appearance. From the shadows, he watched as almost every member of the group was put in chains and dragged back to the stockades. He snuck back into the inn, dropped the disguise, and came back out as himself. Acting confused about the location of his companions, Fjord convinced the guards outside to escort him to his friends. He arrived just in time for the beginning of the trial, and after a while, they were all let go.
When the question about everyone's plans came up, Fjord and Jester said they still wanted to head to the Soltryce Academy. Fjord asked Beau where she was heading, and she replied that she was on vacation and still doing a walking tour, which he didn't believe. After saying goodbye to the people from the carnival, Bosun, the half-orc, cautioned Fjord to take care of himself, noting that it only gets tougher for their kind up north.[110] The warlock grew concerned when Zeenoth asked Beau for a private conversation and asked her if she was alright with it, but she reassured him she would be fine. The next morning, he questioned her about the bruises she had sustained, but she only revealed that she had been accepted into a secret order of monks. Needing to plan their travel route, Fjord went with Jester, Molly, Beau, and Yasha to buy a map of the Dwendalian Empire at the general store. As everyone was getting ready to leave town, Fjord was approached by Caleb in private. Caleb told him that although the group seemed rough around the edges, Fjord was clever, and he hoped they could make the group function. Fjord agreed that with a little guidance, they should be alright and reassured Caleb that he could trust him and that he would be safe with them.[111]
"The Open Road" (2x05)
While traveling northward towards Alfield, Fjord, still concerned about Beau's condition, asked if the person who beat her up was just as injured. She responded that she wouldn't exactly say she won, but reassured him that trouble would not follow them. When a bunch of caravans passed by, he asked Nott if she would ever hijack a caravan like that. She questioned if he was interested in stealing from them, but Fjord added that he was just curious and didn't want her to change her behavior just because she was with them now. He even told her he might take her up on an offer to learn how to steal.
During the first night, Fjord was awoken by Caleb, who had heard some noise. When they saw it was just some buffalo, he went back to sleep. That night, Fjord experienced a vision in his sleep. He was conscious, surrounded by darkness for what felt like days as time lost all meaning. When his senses returned, he found himself underwater, struggling to keep the air in his lungs, as he saw an enormous shadow moving around him. As he lost all the remaining air, Fjord suddenly faced an enormous yellow eye. The warlock spoke to it in a different accent than he usually used around the party, but the creature responded only in single words: "Watching. Potential. Learn. Grow. Provoke. Consume. Reward. Patience."[112] When the eye closed, Fjord was once again surrounded by cold water and darkness, and as panic and solitude took hold, he woke up later than the rest of the party and started coughing up seawater. He noticed that his falchion was missing from its sheath.[113] When questioned by the party, Fjord explained that he had a dream that rattled him a little bit but that he would be fine. When Beau asked about the sword, he told her that the falchion was a mystery to him and that he found it after a trip on a merchant ship went badly, but he wasn't comfortable revealing more details.[114] He added that his magical abilities came to him around the same time as the sword did. As he focused on the falchion, Fjord found he could conjure it into his hand at will, still covered in barnacles and continuously dripping seawater. Caleb offered to study the sword, but Fjord told him that maybe he would revisit that idea later; right now, he was still shaken up and needed some time.
The party rushed towards Alfield as soon as they saw it burning. When gnolls started to surround them, Caleb asked Fjord what they should do. The warlock advised staying near the walls and using the cover of the buildings. While hidden, they should prepare for a fight.[115] Fjord then used Armor of Agathys on himself, moved closer to one of the gnolls, and used Crown of Madness on it to make it attack its allies. Afterwards, he cursed the leader of the gnolls and fired an Eldritch Blast at it. As it retaliated, it got hurt by the Armor of Agathys. After the fight, Fjord told Nott to retreat and let the gnolls run, but it was too late as she and Molly were knocked unconscious by their leader as they escaped.
"The Howling Mines" (2x06)
In the morning, Fjord asked Molly if he was going to pray over his swords again, but when the blood hunter revealed that it was a lie, Fjord pretended to be surprised. The party tried to inquire about Fjord's night, but he told them that he didn't have any new dreams he cared to speak of. While the rest of the group questioned a villager, Beau talked to Fjord about the sudden hunger of the gnolls, but he was preoccupied with thinking about the recent vision.
As they made their way into the gnoll lair, the group encountered three hyenas. Fjord suggested using an illusion to create a distraction while the rest took them out quietly. Afterward, he complimented the party on their teamwork. Deeper in the mines, the party found explosives, and Nott decided that Fjord should hold onto them since she believed he was the most responsible among them.[116] However, he later gave them to Caleb as they were about to fight a pack of gnolls. Two of the hyenas attacked Fjord, but they were both killed by his Armor of Agathys.[117] He then killed another one as it was attempting to escape.
"Hush" (2x07)
The group immediately encountered a few more gnolls about to harm a child, but Jester, Fjord, Nott, and Molly, utilizing their dark vision, launched a preemptive strike. As one of the gnolls was about to attack Molly, Fjord knocked it into an open hole with an Eldritch Blast, killing it instantly.[118]
Now joined by Shakäste, they decided to head back with the rescued people. Although Fjord was concerned about those further in the tunnel, he agreed it was better to escort the rescued out first. After Shakäste spotted more enemies deeper within, Fjord suggested they stealthily eliminate the nearest one. He asked Nott to go since she is the stealthiest, but when she hesitated, he offered to accompany her. On the way, Fjord accidentally slipped on one of Beau's ball bearings, alerting a gnoll. Both of them fired on the gnoll, and after a quick skirmish, they defeated it.
Reaching the main chamber, the group discussed taking the manticore cub, but Fjord and Molly agreed it was too risky. During the ensuing battle, Fjord was paralyzed by an enemy priest while attacking the manticore. As the manticore was about to strike Fjord, Nott killed the cub to divert the mother's attention. Shakäste broke the priest's concentration, freeing Fjord, who immediately rushed to revive an unconscious Jester with a healing potion. After the fight, Fjord and Molly cut off the manticore's head, hoping to sell it later.
"The Gates of Zadash" (2x08)
Fjord decided to give the items he found in the manticore nest to Caleb for identification. However, when Caleb attempted to keep a magical glove and its properties a secret from the group, the rest of the party was displeased. Caleb eventually handed the glove to Fjord, who revealed it to be a Glove of Blasting and explained its properties. Fjord thanked Caleb for identifying the items and Nott for saving his life against the manticore. While the rest of the party retired for the night, Fjord stayed downstairs, observing people and studying their quirks and personalities to better blend in and mimic them, just as his mentor had taught him.[119]
In the morning, the group formally named themselves the Mighty Nein, combining Fjord's suggestion of "the Mighty" with Caleb's addition of "Nein".[120] Jester secured a letter of recommendation to the Soltryce Academy for Fjord from Starosta Kosh in gratitude for dealing with the gnolls plaguing the town. When Kosh asked for Fjord's surname, he admitted he didn't have one.[121] Fjord was also surprised to learn that Jester is the daughter of the Ruby of the Sea. As they discussed her mother, Fjord asked if her search for her father was connected, and Jester affirmed, giving him his letter of recommendation.
Traveling northward towards Zadash, the party was awakened by Caleb on their second night when a group of bandits attacked after a failed negotiation. While the others killed their leader, Fjord fired an Eldritch Blast at another bandit, knocking him unconscious. He then threatened the remaining bandits, stopping their attack. The next day, the Nein arrived in Zadash, where Fjord suggested taking shelter in an inn until the rain subsided. Before heading to the Leaky Tap, Fjord, Jester, Nott, and Caleb stopped by The Invulnerable Vagrant to sell some unneeded items. Fjord also purchased two health potions from Pumat Sol.
"Steam and Conversation" (2x09)
Upon entering the Leaky Tap, Fjord reserved a room for himself and Molly. While everyone else watched Jester gamble, Fjord and Beau stayed at their table, waiting for their drinks and food. Noticing a crowd gathering at the base of the stairs, Beau asked Claudia Sheed, the inn's owner, if she was running a secret meeting downstairs. Fjord was concerned about her speaking so openly about it. As the others joined Nott and Caleb, Fjord diverted from the party and headed into the cellar after the crowd.[122] Beau noticed his departure and followed him, while Molly sent Frumpkin after them. On the way down, Fjord asked Beau if she was aware that her compliments often sounded like insults. This led to him coaching her on how to give genuine compliments. Due to the limited time, they agreed to continue practicing later. Entering the cellar, they were questioned by the gathered group but reassured everyone they were just looking to join the conversation. The group revealed themselves as rebels known as the Knights of Requital. After listening to their frustrations, Fjord and Beau promised to keep the meeting a secret. They stayed behind to talk to Dolan, noting how many issues mirrored their experiences with the Empire and expressing interest in the next meeting.
The next day, the party discussed their worry about becoming famous. Most preferred to stay hidden, but Fjord noted it could be useful for the name Mighty Nein to be well-known while members remained anonymous. Beau attempted to show Caleb the way to the Archives, but her attitude put Caleb off. Fjord encouraged her, reminding her of the lessons from the day before, as she confided that she felt Caleb didn't like her. Despite a less-than-successful second attempt, Fjord continued to support her.[123] Before heading to the bathhouse, Fjord and Caleb checked out some well-paid jobs for the group. When Nott suggested accepting a job to sell out the rebels, Fjord was troubled by the idea, not wanting to betray the trust placed in him and Beau for a few coins. Fjord offered to teach Nott to swim at the bathhouse after learning she didn't know how and immediately dismissed Molly's suggestion to throw her into the water. After Yasha revealed she worshipped the Stormlord, Fjord and Caleb were the only ones to recognize the deity, a prominent god among sailors on the Menagerie Coast. Later, the group separated from Jester and Caleb, and Fjord, joined by the others, went to the King's Hall to accept a monster-killing job. He introduced the group as the Mighty Nein but used the fake name Philbin when they were asked for individual names, and the rest followed his lead with their own pseudonyms.[124]
"Waste and Webs" (2x10)
As Jester talked about the Traveler upon returning from the Pillow Trove, Fjord questioned whether it was difficult for him since he wasn't one of the recognized gods in the Empire. Jester confirmed that the Traveler wasn’t well-known and tried to make him appear in front of everyone, but the warlock looked around and noticed nothing changing. Afterwards, Jester, looking worried, asked Fjord if he remembered how long it took them to travel from Port Damali to the Southern Gates of the Empire. He reassured her that it was a couple of weeks and that the letter she sent to her mother would take some time to arrive. When asked if they should wait until nightfall to complete their task, Fjord suggested it would be better to enter the sewer and kill the beast during the daytime.
As guards approached them near the sewers entrance, Fjord encouraged Beau, telling her this was her chance to shine and apply their previous lessons. Entering the sewer, Fjord donned the Glove of Blasting and cast Armor of Agathys on himself. When rats attacked the group, Fjord saw Caleb about to be flanked and rushed to help him. One rat shattered into ice pieces as it attacked Fjord, thanks to his armor, and he killed another rat surrounding Caleb. Investigating the corpses left in webs, Fjord noticed large puncture marks around their necks and chins. As Fjord joined Nott in keeping an eye on the rear, they were ambushed by a massive phase spider the party had been hired to exterminate. The spider bit Fjord, injecting venom as it turned invisible, but Fjord managed to resist most of the damage. He moved away, but the spider reappeared and nearly knocked him unconscious. However, his orcish blood kept him on his feet as he used his Relentless Endurance for the first time.[125] He used the Glove of Blasting against the spider, but two of the shots missed due to the close proximity. After the fight, Fjord approached a naked dead sailor, noticing sea-themed tattoos and recognizing the name Pink Giver as one of the ships he had helped unload in the past. Caleb had already hidden the sailor’s armor from the group. As they left the sewer and entered the Tri-Spires, Fjord suggested they head straight to the King's Hall to secure their reward for the spider. When Voloshin mistakenly called the group the Mighty Seven, Fjord seized the moment to try to trick him into giving them more money by correcting him, saying they were the Mighty Nein but had lost two members in the sewer.[126] On their way back to the Leaky Tap, Caleb offered to trade the armor he had hidden for the Glove of Blasting. Fjord accepted the trade but didn’t want the armor; instead, he wanted to learn more about Caleb’s past and his connection to fire. Caleb revealed only that he had hurt people in the past and asked Fjord to inquire again in a few days when he could provide a better answer. Fjord expressed understanding and hoped Caleb would eventually learn to trust him. They then traded the items.
At the inn, while Fjord was taking a bath, Nott attempted to steal his letter of recommendation to the Soltryce Academy but was caught by Molly, who warned Fjord as soon as he left the bath. Frustrated, Fjord immediately went to his room and chased Nott out. That same night, Ulog from the Knights of Requital approached Fjord and Beau to talk privately. Impressed by their handling of the spider, Ulog wanted to hire them for a job. Fjord’s interest was piqued, but he wanted more details at their next meeting. After the conversation, he praised Beau for her improved skills in leading conversations. They shared the details of their talk with the rest of the group, and Fjord suggested they consider the job if the money was right and the plan was sound. That night, the party visited the Evening Nip, where they met the bartender dwarf Clive Binz, who seemed oddly fixated on Fjord.
"Zemnian Nights" (2x11)
Uncomfortable with Clive's fixation on him at the Evening Nip, Fjord and the others decided to return to the Leaky Tap and went to sleep. In the morning, Nott asked Fjord about the new job from the rebels. Fjord informed the others that more details would be revealed in the evening at their meeting. He invited the rest of the party to join him and Beau, but they later agreed it would be better if some stayed outside as lookouts in case of danger. When Nott wanted to disguise herself as Fjord again, he suggested she disguise herself as someone else to avoid being too obvious. After their usual morning banter, Fjord told the party he wanted to stop by The Invulnerable Vagrant. Molly and Nott joined him. As they were leaving the inn, Fjord grabbed his new Mariner's Armor, which he had received from Caleb. He inquired from one of the Pumats if it was possible to transfer the enchantment from the sea-themed armor to his old one since he didn't like the whole theme of the new armor. Pumat agreed and offered to clean his armor as well since it was pretty beaten up and quite dirty from the long travel. Seeking more information about the governing parties of Zadash, Fjord asked Pumat Sol if he was satisfied with the current state of affairs. Pumat didn’t provide new details but shared his opinion on the Cerberus Assembly.
Back at the Leaky Tap, Fjord talked to Molly privately, seeking details about what Nott was attempting to steal from him. Molly said he had no idea, so they rejoined the rest of the party. Fjord informed Beau about Pumat's connection to the Cerberus Assembly. Concerned that the meeting with the rebels could be a trap, Fjord and Beau looked around the tavern for an alternate exit. They found an old locked cellar in the back but discovered only a humanoid skeleton inside. While waiting for the evening meeting, Jester constantly glanced at Fjord while reading her new book. When he inquired about it, she called him Oskar, the name of the half-orc in Tusk Love, leaving him confused.[127] As evening approached, Nott asked Fjord to learn Dolan's last name, suspecting it might be someone she knew. Fjord, Beau, and Caleb then went to meet the Knights of Requital. The Knights were initially confused by Caleb's presence, but Fjord and Beau reassured them he was an ally. After receiving more information about the mission, the trio decided to accept the job to sow discord between High-Richter Dayana Prucine and Lord Sutan. Fjord suggested framing the High-Richter as the leader of the Knights of Requital, which the Knights liked. He also warned the rebels to find a new meeting spot to avoid detection. After regrouping, Fjord and Jester agreed they should follow some of the Knights to ensure they weren't working with the wrong people, so they sent Nott after them. Fjord also recommended meeting the High-Richter in disguise to verify her corruption.
Later that night, with Molly's assistance, Fjord set up a trap to find out what Nott was up to. Using "Minor Illusion", he created a jewel-covered flask in their room. When Nott entered, Fjord confronted her about her actions. When she continued to lie, Molly cast Charm Person on her, and she revealed she wanted the letter of recommendation to the Soltryce Academy for Caleb. Fjord was confused about why Caleb needed the letter. Nott explained that she needed Caleb to become powerful to save her. Fjord and Molly assured her they were ready to help her and hoped she would eventually trust and rely on them. As Nott told them she wanted Caleb to change her looks, the half-orc shared his own insecurities about his appearance, and when she complimented him on his appearance, he told her he didn't always look like this and that he does his own dental work.[128] Fjord promised Nott that if the letter didn’t help him, he would give it to Caleb. He also promised to protect Caleb and her.
In the morning, the Nein decided to enter the Tri-Spires through the sewers. Noticing the sewers were guarded, the warlock cast "Crown of Madness" on one of the guards to make them attack each other, allowing the party to sneak into the sewer. Disguised as a rich-looking human, Fjord and the others met with the High-Richter and decided to proceed with the job only if the pay was good.

"Midnight Espionage" (2x12)
Fjord, Molly, Caleb, and Nott attempted a heist at the Guided Hand Infirmary. They decided to disguise themselves as sick people to get in, create a distraction, find Ren Sutan's office and go through the papers there. Fjord acted as a sick person for his part in the deception, and along with Molly, immediately began making a large ruckus. Mayhem ensued as the group tried to get out safely.
Fjord stayed outside with Molly during the Mighty Nein's heist on the Sutan residence. He participated in the heist on the High-Richter's estate, securing entrance for the party with Jester by disguising themselves as Prucine and a crownsguard escorting her.[129] During the heist, Fjord caught Caleb attempting to steal a spell scroll and threatened him to put it down.[130] The delay caused Dayana Prucine to catch the party rummaging through her things. However, Ulog of the Knights of Requital sacrificed himself to kill Prucine, allowing the Nein to escape in the ensuing chaos.
"Lost & Found" (2x13)
In the aftermath of the heists, the Mighty Nein managed to recover a strange dodecahedron-shaped artifact. Beau and Fjord went to Dolan and Horris's home to tell them what had happened. Later, the party confronted Nott about Caleb attempting to steal the scroll. Nott told the group that she felt responsible for protecting Caleb. Fjord thanked Nott for sharing that information with the group and told her she didn't need to look out for Caleb by herself. Now that they were with the group, all of the Nein would look out for each other.
"Fleeting Memories" (2x14)
The Gentleman played a Marquesian card game called the Gambit of Ord against Fjord. If Fjord lost the game, he would be bound to The Gentleman's service. Fortunately, Fjord won. After the card game, Caleb approached Fjord and asked if he had wagered the party funds. However, Fjord clarified that it was just his own money, to which Caleb responded that he appreciated calculated risks. The following day, Fjord attuned to the Waste Hunter Blade recovered from Thuron, granting its attributes to his pact weapon. After winning some gold from the game with the Gentleman, Fjord headed to The Invulnerable Vagrant. There, he decided to purchase a Cloak of protection for 800 gold.
"Where The River Goes" (2x15)
Jester was knocked unconscious in the battle with the gelatinous cube. Fjord gave Jester a health potion, and she called him "Oskar," (the name of the love interest in Tusk Love,) when she awakened.
"A Favor in Kind" (2x16)
During their time in the laboratory of Siff Duthar, Fjord dreamed he was holding the falchion when he saw a large yellow eye calling for him to "Consume". Fjord felt ravenously hungry, and forced the falchion down his throat, despite being cut and bleeding. He continued until he had consumed the entire blade. The pain subsided and the voice said, "Good." The yellow eye closed and a heavy current began to drag him into an endless dark abyss. After waking up, Fjord found a little bit of blood on his mouth.[131] In the morning, Jester noticed a little dried blood on his mouth and Fjord lied, claiming to have bitten himself. When he pulled down his lower lip, the party saw his tusks had been chipped away. Fjord told the others about how he used to be teased and bullied for having tusks as a kid, so he would shorten them to make himself more presentable. This behavior eventually turned into a habit for Fjord. Jester and the rest of the group assured him that they would not judge him for his tusks and he agreed to let them grow out.
"Harvest Close" (2x17)
Travis rolled three natural ones in a row, causing Fjord to fail spectacularly at the carnival game "trebuchet."
"Whispers of War" (2x18)
When Molly requested two 'masseuses' to be sent to his room, Fjord decided to leave once they arrived. After that, he stayed in a room with Jester, Beau, and Yasha.
"Labenda Awaits" (2x20)
Fjord gave Kiri a dagger to defend herself with, warning her that it was sharp. He was amused and unsettled when Kiri repeated "it's sharp" in a perfect imitation of his voice.
"Stalker in the Swamp" (2x21)
Fjord enters the hideout first, seeing signs of a fight and spatters of weeks-old blood. Fjord was knocked unconscious twice in the battle with the merrow, but still managed to get the HDYWTDT?. After the battle, Fjord felt compelled to dive into a dark pool in the merrow lair as he heard the voice from his dreams say "Learn".[132] Swimming through a passage under the pool, he found another chamber with several merrow standing among ruins and piles of objects. Fjord swam back to tell the rest of the Mighty Nein about the room, but did not mention hearing his patron's voice.[133]
"Lost Treasures" (2x22)
Beau told Fjord she thought she owed Caleb an apology for their argument over the bowl, and he encouraged and coached her.
Fan art of Fjord with the Cloven Crystal, by Dan Bittencourt.[art 18]
After the Mighty Nein defeated the merrow in the ruins, Fjord touched a yellow orb found in the chamber. He immediately entered a trance state, having a vision from his patron. In the vision, he was struck by an uncontrollable hunger, and pushed the orb into his stomach. When he saw his reflection, Vandran's face was looking back at him. Outside of the vision, the rest of the Mighty Nein simply saw Fjord take the orb and push it into his stomach.[134] He told the group about the vision and about how seeing Vandran in it confused him. He also went into more detail than previously about how the ship he worked on was sabotaged. Fjord summoned his falchion as they left the safe house and noticed there was now a yellow eye in the center of the hilt.[135]
"Have Bird, Will Travel" (2x23)
Fjord was knocked unconscious three times in the fight with the venom troll.
Fjord confided in Molly in their room about his concerns regarding the sword. He asked Molly to stay and watch as he summoned his falchion. Upon seeing the sword, Molly sensed something ancient, beyond the scope of this land and sea. Intrigued, Molly questioned Fjord about what happened to him on that boat. Fjord explained that he had never seen anything like this sword before. Molly attempted to cast Charm Person on Fjord, but he resisted. While focusing on the sword, Fjord felt an unsettling sensation of being watched. When Molly requested the falchion, Fjord refused and made it disappear.
During a group shopping excursion, Caleb approached Fjord. He mentioned that they had been traveling together for weeks and that he felt it had been good so far. Fjord acknowledged a few bumps but agreed overall, prompting Caleb to remind him of the time he held a blade to his throat. Despite past conflicts, Caleb told Fjord that he thinks he is a good person, eliciting a smile from Fjord.[136]
"The Hour of Honor" (2x24)
Figuring that Kiri would need a babysitter while the party was drinking, Fjord tried to hire Irena to take care of her. She misunderstood, thinking that Fjord was asking if she'd be his companion for the night. Extremely flustered, Fjord gave her four gold as a deposit and fled. Fjord won his round in the hour of honor drinking competition.
Fan art of Fjord getting flustered while talking to Irena Clommop, by Elaine Tipping.[art 19]
When he learned that the Schuster children would likely be sent to an orphanage without the intervention of the Mighty Nein, Fjord insisted that they help the children reunite with their parents. In the ensuing conversation, he revealed the fact that he was raised in an orphanage and did not wish that same fate on others.[137]
"Divergent Paths" (2x25)
Fjord was very pleased to see the Schuster family reunite, and wished them and Kiri well as they left. In the middle of their first night on the road north of Hupperdook, Fjord, Jester, and Yasha were kidnapped by a group of humanoids led by a bald human. The three were manacled and caged on carts that took off into the night.[138]
Arc 2: The Bad Guys[]
"The Stalking Nightmare" (2x29)
Fjord, Jester, and Yasha were rescued from captivity by the rest of the Mighty Nein.
"The Journey Home" (2x30)
In the aftermath of the Iron Shepherds' defeat, Fjord became upset and blamed himself for not being vigilant enough. He told the rest of the party that he, Jester, and Yasha had been tortured physically and mentally before being put to sleep with special manacles. During their time in captivity, Jester and himself had kept close to each other after being separated from Yasha.
While looting the Sour Nest, Fjord turned Lorenzo's Bag of Holding inside out and found a letter from someone named Avantika, hiring the Jagentoth Family to find an artifact for her. Fjord realized that the drawing of the artifact included in the letter looks like the orb he absorbed. Fjord took responsibility for carrying the bag of holding from then on. Before going to sleep, Fjord attuned to Molly's sword, Summer's Dance, granting its attributes to his pact weapon. Later, at Molly's grave, Fjord saluted his memory with his sword.
When the Mighty Nein returned to Zadash, Fjord talked to Caleb and Beau about their time in captivity. Fjord expressed admiration for Jester's ability to stay positive during and after their experience, while he felt deeply scarred. He decided that he no longer wanted to go to the Soltryce Academy, and that he needed to focus on trying to find the people he had lost.[139]
"Commerce & Chaos" (2x31)
While spending some downtime in Zadash, Fjord rode off toward Nicodranas to see if he could find any information about Sabian. In about a week, he made it as far as Trostenwald before turning around in frustration when he found no information and realized how long it would take. He also privately visited The Gentleman and asked about criminal organizations in Port Damali and the Menagerie Coast in general. On the way out, he informed Cree of Molly's passing. When the group regathered, Fjord reminded them of the letter mentioning Marius LePual, the orb, and Avantika, and suggested that they could deliver it to Nicodranas themselves, possibly learning more about Sabian, the orb, and Fjord's recently acquired warlock powers. The party agreed and they began traveling south.
"The Ruby and the Sapphire" (2x33)
Fjord was surprised that several members of the party had never seen the ocean before, and the Nein took a detour to the beach before entering Nicodranas. He, Caleb, and Caduceus went swimming. That evening, Jester introduced Fjord and the rest of the Nein to her mother, Marion Lavorre.
"Dockside Diplomacy" (2x35)
After cutting off Algar Dyomin's hand and with the aid of his mask of many faces, Fjord successfully intimidated Algar into leaving Nicodranas and never returning. Later that night, the Mighty Nein went to the Restless Wharf, in hopes of spying on and perhaps interrogating Marius LePual. They instead commandeered a ship, kidnapped Marius, and killed most of the crew. Fjord, the only capable sailor among the group, steered The Mist out to sea as the party made their escape.
"O Captain, Who's Captain?" (2x36)
Upon interrogating Marius and Gallan, Fjord told the Mighty Nein he wanted to go find out what Avantika knew about the orb. They agreed.
Later, Fjord talked with Beau about how all their plans in Nicodranas went wrong. Thinking back on the situations with Algar and Marius, he wondered why they did not just stick with their plans to talk. Fjord believes being able to use magic and wield power is a shortcut that he has been using. Beau and Fjord agreed to try and be better people and check each other when they see the other one abusing power. [141]
The Mighty Nein sailed the ship, newly renamed The Mistake, back to Nicodranas to hire a crew for the journey. They hired Orly Skiffback as their navigator, and Fjord took command of The Mistake as "Captain Tusktooth".[142] While on watch together one night, Fjord and Jester witnessed a beautiful jellyfish bloom. Jester asked Fjord if he ever gets sad. Surprised by the question, Fjord admited there were some things he wished were different. He asked Jester if she was sad and tried to cheer her up.
While navigating to Urukayxl, The Mistake scraped against a shallow reef, took hull damage, and began taking on water. Fjord temporarily stopped water from entering the ship by diving overboard and holding the mattress from the captain's quarters against the hole from the outside.[143] As they neared the island, another ship came towards them and fired a warning shot. Fjord commanded the crew to stop The Mistake and get ready for a parley, as two rowboats from the other ship made their way over.
Fan art of Fjord's Dream, by Heather Hood.[art 20]
"Dangerous Liaisons" (2x37)
Fjord cast Disguise Self to look like Javeed Jawgrasp, the previous captain of The Mist before the rowboats arrived. The Mighty Nein met Captain Avantika and all gave fake names. Avantika played along for a bit but then revealed that she saw through Fjord's illusion. Fjord dropped the illusion and told Avantika they knew where the orb she was looking for is. Avantika gave them two choices: either they work for her or she kills them. The Mighty Nein agreed to work for her. Avantika revealed that she was the chosen of Uk'otoa the great leviathan, and Fjord made the connection that Uk'otoa was his warlock patron too.
Later that night, Fjord had a dream in which he was standing on a stone staircase underneath the water. In front of him stood a statue of a man. Fjord cast Eldritch Blast and shattered the statue into a million pieces. The head on the statue drifted slowly by, revealing it was Sabian. He climbed the stairs further, and reached another statue in his way. This time, when Fjord shattered the statue, half of the face floated by, now a representation of Vandran. Fjord climbed the narrowing staircase even further until his head was above the water. Standing now alone in a stone room, he cried out in frustration, "I don't know what you want from me!" He heard Uk'otoa calling out to him, "Watch." Fjord decided to put his head in the pool sitting in the center of the room. As he put his head in, he saw a giant yellow eye, and heard a voice call out, "Reward." One of the walls, now collapsed entirely, revealed a vast ocean with an armada of ships coming closer. Fjord raised his hands, and with a mighty clap, sent the ships crashing into each other.[144] After waking up from the dream, Fjord slipped into his original accent momentarily before going back to imitating Vandran.[145]
"Welcome to the Jungle" (2x38)
Avantika, Jamedi Cosko, and the Mighty Nein explored the island of Urukayxl to find the temple of Uk'otoa.
Fan art of Fjord, by Linda Lithén.[art 21]
"Dubious Pursuits" (2x40)
Avantika and Fjord raced to put a Cloven Crystal in a recess within the temple to unseal Uk'otoa. Even though Fjord was the first to discover the recess, Avantika managed to break the seal before Fjord could.[146] The temple began to flood. Fjord attempted to grapple and drown Avantika during the flood, but she escaped. He managed to play it off like an accident and not arouse her suspicion. During the escape from the temple, Fjord kissed Jester and gave her his air supply to save her from drowning.[147] The group escaped from the temple and back through the jungle. While rowing back to the Squalleater, Avantika discovered she now had the power to control water.[148]
When the group got back to the Squalleater, Fjord and the Nein discussed negotiating an exit with Avantika. Fjord went to Avantika's quarters. He learned Vandran used to wield the same falchion he now wields and was the one who introduced Avantika to Uk'otoa.[149] Fjord got caught in a lie about his former captain Vandran, initially pretending not to know him. He also told Avantika where the ship he worked on with Vandran sank. Avantika and Fjord slept together to seal their pact to release Uk'otoa from his bindings, an act more of business than romance. Later on, when he snuck back into his quarters, Caduceus merely shook his head and told him sardonically: "Sleep well with your bad decisions."[150]
"A Pirate's Life for Me" (2x41)
The Mistake and the Squalleater set sail for Darktow Isle- headquarters of The Revelry, the union of pirates that opposes the Clovis Concord. Avantika made Fjord the new quartermaster of the Squalleater. On the way to Darktow, the Squalleater intercepted a Clovis Concord ship. Avantika put Fjord in command of the raid. Fjord convinced the ship to surrender without killing any of the crew. After unloading several chests of gold and food from the ship's cargo hold, they let them go.
Fan art of Fjord, by Linda Lithén.[art 22]
Caleb was particularly suspicious of Fjord and his motives with Avantika. He was uncomfortable with how fanatically invested in Uk'otoa's release she seems to be. Fjord agreed that he didn't want to release Uk'otoa. He just wanted to find out more about his powers and what happened to Vandran. The Nein decided that their goal was to get away from Avantika eventually, but they wanted to part ways with her on good terms. They decided to wait until arriving on Darktow Isle then ask her to give them back The Mistake so they could search for the next Cloven Crystal. Caleb and Fjord spoke privately. Fjord asked Caleb to keep an eye on Avantika and him. Caleb warning Fjord that he believed Avantika would try to kill him.
That night, Fjord had another dream from Uk'otoa, giving him a vision of where the last seal was. Along with the rest of the Mighty Nein, Fjord was automatically initiated into the ranks of the Revelry upon arriving at Darktow Isle.
"In Hot Water" (2x43)
In the fight with Avantika and her crew, Fjord used Thunderstep to take himself and Caleb out of melee. He then summoned a barlgura aboard the Squalleater and brought Caleb back to consciousness with a health potion. Afterwards, at Avantika's trial, Fjord successfully convinced the Plank King to allow Beau to extort the truth from Avantika, securing a victory for the Mighty Nein. The Nein were then banished from Darktow, sailing away with the partially damaged Squalleater.
Following their banishment from Darktow Isle, Jester talks with Fjord on their new ship, discussing Vandran. She asks him whether he will stop imitating Vandran if they were to find him. Jester offers to use Sending to ask the Plank King about Vandran, but Fjord rejects her offer.
As they approached the Diver's Grave, the site of the Tide's Breath shipwreck, Fjord attempted to convince Nott to join the party underwater by making up the legend of Captain Buttonbeard.
"The Diver's Grave" (2x44)
The Mighty Nein searched the wreck of the Tide's Breath for the last Cloven Crystal. They realized the shipwreck had been looted by Dashilla, a sea fury that haunts the area. They found her lair and battled her. Fjord, having been ensorcelled by Dashilla, turned on the party and attempted to attack them. Eventually, the party managed to severely injure Dashilla, who fled and hid. Fjord found the Cloven Crystal in her lair and absorbed it.
Fjord convinced Caleb to join him in dripping blood onto a magical pedestal in the lair in exchange for an unspecified favor in the future. Fjord realized it would take more blood than they were able to give and decided they should leave. Jester and Yasha uncomfortably watched Caleb and Fjord do this, but did not interfere.
As the Mighty Nein were returning to the Squalleater, Dashilla came out of hiding and finished the ritual. A massive storm was conjured right over Dashilla's lair. The Squalleater outran it and continued on towards Bisaft Isle.
"The Stowaway" (2x45)
Fjord was initially suspicious of Twiggy. Hearing her description of her captivity and escape from Sir Cadigan, Fjord said "It sounds real familiar."[152] Beau asked Fjord to train her to be his first mate, and Fjord agreed.
Within the Happy Fun Ball, Fjord touched a mysterious ruby within a stained glass map of the planes and was shunted into a chamber separate from the rest of the party. This chamber turned out to be the lair of a blue dragon, which Fjord was forced to entertain alone for several minutes until help arrived. In the ensuing battle, Fjord cast Blink, popping in and out of the ethereal plane. When the party discovered that the crystals which powered the exit were activated by cold energy, Fjord cast Armor of Agathys on himself and headbutted one of the crystals. He attempted to distract the dragon from attacking Jester, but was foiled when his own Blink spell sent him into the ethereal plane. He successfully escaped from the Happy Fun Ball along with the rest of the party.
"The Second Seal" (2x47)
The party went underwater to find the second seal of Uk'otoa. After defeating several chuul, Fjord discussed his intentions and future plans regarding Uk'otoa, indicating that he didn't intend to fully release the leviathan. Eventually, Fjord has everyone else leave the chamber with only Frumpkin for company. When he inserted a Crystal into the relief, Fjord received a vision from Uk'otoa, showing the location of the third and final seal. He gained the ability to cast Control Water as an eldritch invocation.
Arc 3: The Bright Queen's Favor[]
"Homeward Bound" (2x48)
The Balleater sailed back to Nicodranas. Fjord cast Disguise Self to look like "Captain Tristan", an older human man, and presented the papers for the ship forged by Jester. Wharmaster Ignus was fooled by the deception and allowed the Balleater to dock. Fjord officially turned command of the ship over to Orly Skiffback. Caduceus told Fjord he was proud of him for taking care of himself and not getting distracted by "bad thoughts". He wants to get the broken sword he bought from Pumat Sol[153] fixed as a present for Fjord. Fjord was touched and thanked Caduceus.[154]
Beau, Caduceus, Jester, Fjord, and Nott examined Tidepeak tower again. Fjord missed seeing a previously invisible door open and Wensforth's conversation with the others because he was talking to a fish monger who ended up knowing nothing about the tower.
During the Mighty Nein's travel to Felderwin, Caduceus told Fjord about his Divination spell that confirmed Vandran was still alive and "making amends". Fjord thanked Caduceus. Caduceus told Fjord he has faith in him.[156]
"The Endless Burrows" (2x50)
Fjord apologized to Nott for making her come on underwater excursions with the party, feeling guilty after learning that she had drowned in the past. He was embarrassed when Beau began reading a smutty novel aloud as the party travelled.
"Xhorhas" (2x51)
Fjord saved the party from being attacked by a roc by creating a major image of a mastodon, which the roc targeted instead. To cross the Ifolon River, Nott, wearing her Ring of Water Walking, ran across the running water with a rope for the rest of the party to use. Fjord waited until Nott was already across to cast Control Water, parting the river. Jester noticed that Fjord's tusks were beginning to grow back.
"Cornered" (2x53)
Resting outside of Asarius, Fjord had another dream from Uk'otoa. The leviathan ordered Fjord to return, and threatened to punish Fjord if he continued wandering away from the coast. Fjord once again woke up vomiting salty water and brine.[157] Caduceus noticed Fjord awake and asked him about his dream. Fjord told him that he believed Uk'otoa was angry with him because he decided not to release him, and asked about Caduceus' relationship with the Wildmother. Fjord explained that he was interested in seeing if he could find a counteragent to Uk'otoa's will over him, and Caduceus agreed to help him.
While shopping in Asarius, Fjord was frightened of Madam Musk, not realizing that she was really just five Kobolds in a cloak.
Fan art of Fjord and Umadon, by Andrew Jensen.[art 24]
"Well Beneath" (2x54)
Fjord convinced a bugbear resident of Asarius, Umadon, to confide that he'd been having dreams of two attractive bugbears who told him to do bad things. Umadon guided Fjord to his house, with the rest of the Mighty Nein trailing behind. Near the residence, they discovered the well they were looking for. Fjord climbed over the edge to inspect the opening in the side wall. There, he detected a familiar sulfur smell, reminiscent of the one found near the rift beneath Zorth's livery. Using Misty Step, Fjord swiftly returned to the top and informed the others about what he had found.
"Duplicity" (2x55)
After charmed Caleb cast a Wall of Fire, Fjord used his new ability to control water to dampen the flames, which allowed the rest to concentrate on freeing Caleb.
"In Love and War" (2x57)
Along with the rest of the Mighty Nein, Fjord received an emblem of the Bright Queen.
"Wood and Steel" (2x58)
The Mighty Nein encountered a half-orc blacksmith named Wursh. When Wursh asked for Fjord's name, he abruptly left, prompting Wursh to follow him. Despite feeling awkward, Fjord received encouragement from Wursh to be confident in who he is and not to be ashamed of his orc blood, emphasizing that he has nothing to prove. When Yasha inquired about Fjord's family, he informed her that he didn't know them and had grown up as an orphan. Fjord explained that he was raised by other children at the Driftwood Asylum, where he endured frequent bullying, expressing to the group that it was a terrible place.
Upon arriving at the encampment near Deepriver Mining Camp, Fjord was responsible for intimidating and embarrassing Foreman Bodo. During this, he obtained some information required by the group to begin their plans for dealing with the stone giants in the mining camp.
"Perspective" (2x59)
Fjord successfully charmed two of the giants, and with Caduceus's help, they managed to persuade them to stop fighting and sit down. Upon reaching the Braan, Fjord was seriously wounded and nearly killed by a chasme.
"A Turtle By Any Other Name" (2x60)
Fjord was frightened by the possessed giant, even after Caleb Polymorphed it into a giant snapping turtle, which backed him against a wall. Nott attempted to save Fjord from the turtle, but only succeeded in being trapped alongside Fjord. Later, Fjord killed the final remaining dybbuk.
"Agreements" (2x61)
Fjord had another dream, where he was enveloped by water and directly confronted by Uk'otoa himself.The patron angrily spoke the word "Punish" again and Fjord immediately began to bleed and felt the sensation of drowning. Fjord awoke, again vomiting salty water and brine, inadvertanly waking Caleb when he dropped his falchion to the floor. Alarmed that the falchion was outside of its pocket dimension without him calling for it, Fjord exited the room and found to his horror that he had none of his powers.[158] Fjord woke up later than the rest. While everyone was conversing downstairs, he made sure he was alone in the room and that the sword was still near him, then hid it under the mattress. Before rejoining the others, he instructed one of the inn hands not to enter his room for any reason.
Later that day, Fjord was embarrassed by Mauro's flirting. He discovered that his powers had returned while going to Wursh's smithing shop with Yasha.[159] As Yasha finished her order with Wursh, Fjord thanked Wursh for his kind words the last time they met. He confessed that he has a temper when people talk about their kind and has struggled with this temper his whole life. When Fjord wanted to ask Wursh a personal question, he noticed the rest of the group entering the shop. Yasha, sensing that Fjord wanted this conversation to be private, stepped outside to distract them. Fjord, who grew up among mostly humans and half-elves, wanted to know if Wursh was accepted where he grew up. He shared that people often expected him to be more violent and angry because of his background. After that, he asked Wursh to take care of Yasha's order and decided to stay outside with Caduceus while the rest finished shopping.
"Domestic Respite" (2x62)
Fjord didn't do much to decorate his room, just adding wooden shutters to the window. Fjord was confronted by Caleb one day when he returned to his room for using a fake accent in front of the group. Fjord at first denied it, but shortly after revealed that he enjoys his new identity and wants to distance himself from his former life. He assured Caleb that nothing from his past posed a threat to him or the group. Fjord requested time to share his past so that he did not feel as though something had been taken from him.
When the team decides to scout out the Overcrow Apothecary, Fjord and Jester served as a distraction for Maruo, the shopkeeper.
"Intervention" (2x63)
During the fight against the drow and the hobgoblin, Fjord prevented them from teleporting by using his Counterspell. He remained outside to redirect the attention of the guards and citizens away from the ongoing fight.
"Chases and Trees" (2x65)
Fjord had another dream in which Uk'otoa confronted him and said the words "Return" and "Release". A heavy tearing sound filled the space around him and the eye opened to a space filled with vines. An emerald light warmed the waters around Fjord. A voice called out to him saying, "Come with me, child". Fjord swam fast and grabbed the vines coming out of the eye. The hole sealed up behind him and the Wildmother called out to him, "The womb I grant, but withers without faith. His will shall find you again, but until it does, rest."
In the morning, Fjord, Beau, and Jester decided to climb the tree. However, Jester lost her grip on the ascent and began to fall. Fjord dove towards her without hesitation. After reaching her, he used Thunder Step to propel them both back to the top. On the tree, Fjord realizes that the usual cold feeling he got while casting spells has been replaced by a new, warmer sensation.
"Beneath Bazzoxan" (2x66)
Fjord confronted Caduceus during their night watch about the strange and comforting dream he had had the previous night. Caduceus explained that the voice he heard was the Wildmother, the deity that his family worships. Fjord remarked that the warm emotions are something that he wants to feel again. Caduceus took Fjord through some guided meditation in order to help him out. He started hearing the familiar sounds of waves crashing on a shore and felt her guiding light once more.[160]
"Reflections" (2x68)
Caduceus and Fjord took a watch together, and Fjord confided that he hoped to continue serving the Wildmother. In the mirror chamber, Fjord deliberately got himself pulled into a mirror to assist Yasha with fighting the doppelgängers.
"The King's Cage" (2x69)
In the fight with the Laughing Hand, Fjord summoned a barlgura to keep the Hand occupied, and managed to get the killing blow on Obann. The party quickly realized that the Laughing Hand was unkillable, and that they needed to flee. Fjord attempted to Thunderstep away with Yasha, but she had been charmed and refused to teleport with him. Fjord reentered the fray, but was grappled by the Laughing Hand. Yasha attacked him, bringing him to zero health, but Fjord used his relentless endurance to pop back up to one hit point. He asked Yasha, "why?" and she replied, "I heard you." The party frantically attempted to rescue Fjord. Caleb cast Wall of Fire between Fjord and his adversaries while Beau ran in, ripped Fjord from the Hand's grasp, and dragged him back out of the chamber as the doors closed.
Arc 4: Swords and Angels[]
"Causatum" (2x70)
Fjord was extremely reluctant to return to the Dynasty, convinced that they would immediately be thrown in prison. While in Bazzoxan, Fjord disguised himself as a messenger and tried to warn a guard about the Laughing Hand. Unfortunately, he was not taken seriously.
"Family Gathering" (2x71)
As the group teleported from Nicodranas back to Rosohna, Fjord heard Uk'otoa's voice saying: "Return."
Fan art of Fjord vs Uk'otoa, by Shae Marie Illustration.[art 25]
"Clay and Dust" (2x72)
Fjord asked Jester to Send a message to Vandran for him. Vandran responded to Jester's message, saying that he was glad Fjord was well, and that he himself had retired on an island. Fjord and Jester talked about his fears of Uk'otoa and desire to get away from him. He admitted that he lost his powers briefly once before and that it terrified him. He told her he'd decided to see if the Wildmother would help him.
That night, Fjord had another dream, in which he was standing on a beach at night, seeing hundreds of stars in the sky. The lights began to fade out, and were replaced by the large eye of Uk'otoa and his gaping mouth. "Return. Or consume," Uk'otoa threatened Fjord, before crushing him in his mouth. Fjord woke up in the middle of the night, scared and confused, once again without his powers. Carefully taking his falchion and sneaking out of the room, he made for the lava pit. Fjord addressed his patron, saying "you need me more than I need you. Give it back." In an attempt to intimidate Uk'otoa into giving him back his powers, he pushed the sword into his chest. Unsuccessful, Fjord threw the weapon into the lava, severing his pact. Realizing what he had just done, he anxiously woke Caduceus and asked for help. Caduceus healed him and seemed convinced that the sword they were seeking to mend was destined to be Fjord's new weapon. In the morning, Fjord stopped imitating Vandran's Texan accent and instead spoke in his natural British accent. He explained that he adopted Vandran's accent in an effort to get people to respect him. He revealed that he had severed his pact, stating that he did not want to be a hostage anymore.[161] Seeing that Fjord was insecure about his lack of warlock powers, Caleb gave Fjord his Glove of Blasting, and the rest of the party quickly followed suit, giving Fjord their magic items so that he wouldn't be powerless anymore. Fjord was moved and overwhelmed by this gesture of kindness and unconditional acceptance.
"Uthodurn" (2x73)
Since Fjord lost his powers, the group decided that he should stay in the middle with Caleb so they could protect him. On their way to Uthodurn, the Mighty Nein were attacked by a pair of remorhazes. When one of the creatures attempted to burrow away with an unconscious Beau, Fjord used his newly acquired inescapable lash to lasso the remorhaz and attempted to keep it from escaping. Fjord also began to get dragged away until Caleb grappled him with Cat's Ire. Despite his shoulders being dislocated from the strain, Fjord managed to maintain his hold on the remorhaz as the cat's paw dragged them out of the hole, saving Beau's life. Still clutching the inescapable lash, Fjord successfully prevents the remorhaz from escaping,this time along with Caduceus, back into the earth. After it was defeated, Fjord climbed inside the remorhaz to assist Caduceus. As the party continued, Fjord told the others that protecting him in the middle was unnecessary. Nott asked mockingly if he would be in the front then, to which Fjord replied, "Sure, I'm a member of this group; I'll be in the front".[162]
As the party entered Uthodurn, Fjord couldn't resist trying to scare one of the giant goats there, starting a small stampede.
"Rime and Reason" (2x75)
The party travelled to Mythburrow, the lair of Gelidon, an ancient white dragon, in the hopes that they could trick her into breathing on their mithral and transforming it into iceflex. Outside of her lair, Caduceus cast Commune to allow Fjord to question the Wildmother, and she assured him that she could help him regain his powers. After their communion, Caduceus asked Fjord where he felt that his inner strength came from. He explained that the ocean was his favorite part of nature, due to its meditative and humbling properties. He later remarked that he forgot to ask the Wildmother about Uk'otoa and his future plans with him. Caduceus said that this beast was definitely not yet finished with Fjord. However, there was still a chance that he could find a new deity to follow and regain his magical abilities without having to go back to Uk'otoa.
The following morning, the Mighty Nein successfully executed their plan and retrieved their iceflex, although not without having to improvise along the way.
"Refjorged" (2x76)
In order to obtain the residuum Caduceus needed to perform his ritual, the Mighty Nein decided to attempt a burglary of the Tumblecarve residence. During the heist, Fjord remained outside with Caleb. After struggling to coordinate with each other while invisible, the pair moved close enough to the house for Nott to message them. The party successfully obtained a certain ring, which they traded to Ava Endlewood for the residuum. Afterward, the party traveled back to Kravaraad.
Fjord went out on the mountainside to meditate and commune with the Wildmother. He had a vision, in which he was surrounded by peaceful sea. He was then approached by the Wildmother, who informed him that, though the seed of darkness within him was something she could not remove, if he was willing to serve and protect her and her domain, she would help him. Fjord readily agreed and woke up the next day surrounded by a cocoon of seaweed and his worried friends. However, Fjord was as surprised as everyone when he discovered that his powers had been restored. Caduceus advised him that there are no accidents, "just delightful mistakes," and presented him with the newly reforged Dwueth'var.[164]
"A Tangled Web" (2x77)
Fjord attuned to Dweuth'var as his new pact weapon, having accepted the Wildmother as his new patron.
"Through the Trees" (2x79)
While pursuing Obann and his posse, the Nein encountered the Laughing Hand. Fjord summoned a barlgura, which engaged the Hand as the party sneaked past. The Hand summoned his three shadow hounds while he fought the barlgura, and the hounds chased after the party. Fjord then successfully cast Charm Monster on the Hand who, at Fjord's suggestion, dismissed his dogs and began patrolling the perimeter to stop anyone trying to get in.
"The Folding Halls" (2x80)
Back in Rosohna, the Nein became extremely paranoid that they were being watched, and Fjord cast See Invisibility through the Star Razor. He noticed a glowing orb drifting down the stairs toward them. He suggested going up to the roof, and as the party ascended the stairs, he fired two Eldritch Blasts at it, which passed through it and blew holes in the wall. The orb continued to follow them as they headed to the roof. Once there, he told the party what he saw and Jester recognized the sphere as a Scry focus. Caleb then dispelled the Scry using his Amulet.
"From Door to Door" (2x81)
While fleeing from the Magehunter Golem, Caleb jumped on Fjord's back and attempted to cast Fly on them both, however the golem caught them in an antimagic field. The Golem severely injured both of them before they leaped onto a giant gear and rode it until they were able to be rescued by Jester.
"Titles and Tattoos" (2x84)
Fjord, Caleb, and Caduceus went out for fish and chips, and talked about destiny and fate, their obligation to try to stop Tharizdun even if it meant their deaths, their growing attachment to the group, and their sense of duty to try to rescue Yasha from Obann.
"The Cathedral" (2x86)
When the party was accosted by Kryn soldiers, Fjord thought on his feet and showed them his symbol of the Bright Queen, telling them that the party was in Rexxentrum on her business and to leave them be.
In the battle within the Chantry, Fjord summons a vrock, however he was almost immediately seriously wounded and poisoned by the suddenly-appearing Inevitable End. He lost concentration on the spell, freeing the vrock to attack whatever non-demon is nearest to it-- luckily, Obann. On his next turn, Fjord cast Enervation on Yasha, and did not drop the spell when she was finally freed from her charm, saying, "I'll take you up on that grief and regret," as he pulls more life energy from her to heal himself.
Beneath the Chantry, Fjord was able to spot Obann and the Caedogeist thanks to See Invisibility, he cast Faerie Fire on Obann, making him visible to everyone and granting them advantage against him. In retaliation, Obann charmed Fjord, forcing him to step into one of the ritual circles within the chamber. Caduceus then used Greater Restoration to free Fjord from Obann's control.
"Unwanted Reunions" (2x88)
Yasha tried to pay Fjord back the 500 gold she borrowed for her bracers back in Rosohna. At first he refused, but then took it in exchange for the Manual of Gainful Exercise.
While talking about the upcoming meeting with Ludinus Da'leth, Caduceus warned Fjord about being tempted back into old habits. Fjord asked Caduceus if it was important to the Wildmother to be honest at all times, and Caduceus responded that he did not know, and asked Fjord if he felt nature could lie. Fjord said it could certainly be deceiving, as well as unyielding and unchanging for anyone. Saying that he had never thought of it that way, and that Fjord seemed to have a handle on things, Caduceus gave him a sea-themed holy symbol of the Wildmother that he had had forged at the Kiln.[165]
"Lingering Wounds" (2x89)
Fjord decided to use his downtime in Rexxentrum meditating on the Wildmother and training with Beau. He visited the Soltryce Academy (which he had once dreamed of attending) with Caleb and Nott. The next day, Fjord fought Darrow Allocke in an arranged match at the secret fighting pit under the King's Cut Butchery, suffering a humiliating and thorough defeat at his hands.
"Bathhouses and Bastions" (2x90)
In Rexxentrum, Fjord went to the spa twice in two days. When the party arrived back in Rosohna, Caleb used Seeming to play a prank on Fjord. The Nein met with Essek, who told them that the thief who stole the beacons was Adeen Tasithar. Essek agreed to allow Fjord to disguise himself as a captured Vence and be "held" in the cell next to Adeen to see what he could learn from him. Upon observing Vence, Fjord was convinced that he had been mind-controlled.
"Stone to Clay" (2x91)
Essek asked Fjord what his goal was, and Fjord said he wasn't sure, since everything had changed for him. Ultimately, he wants to look out for the Nein the way they have for him. When Jester expressed insecurity, Fjord helped her workshop her recruitment pitch for the Traveler. When Caduceus mentions that the third family involved with the Wildmother is the Stone family, Fjord revealed to the group that the orphanage gave him the last name "Stone". While Fjord was sure it was simply coincidence and he rejects that the name belongs to him, he was still shaken. [167]
Arc 5: Family Ties[]
"Home is Where the Heart Is" (2x92)
Jester's excitement over her blossoming relationship with her father caused Beau to become withdrawn and sullen. Fjord approached her, and she confided in him. He comforted her as she cried.
"Misery Loves Company" (2x93)
As Jester spoke with the Traveler, Fjord utilized his Divine Sense to detect the presence of celestials, undead, fiends, or anything affected by the Hallow spell in the area. Fjord sensed something from the figure.
While the Mighty Nein examined Isharnai's cabin, Fjord, still under the effect of See Invisibility, stepped outside and noticed a giant female humanoid figure on top of the roof with unusually long and oddly jointed arms. Fjord greeted her and informed her that they had come for a chance to speak. Fjord was the first member of the Mighty Nein to enter Isharnai's hut. He told her that they've come to have the curse lifted from Nott. Isharnai said that in exchange, she would require a gift of substantial new misery. She offered a shift in Fjord's fortunes, but he smartly declined and left.
"With Great Power..." (2x94)
Fjord was very vocal that he was not okay with the deal Beau wanted to make with Isharnai, as the deal would have meant Beau had to leave her friends and her life at the Cobalt Soul behind. He. along with the rest of the party, convinced Beau that they love and care about each other. Fjord and Nott admitted that they genuinely cared about each other, even though their relationship was generally a teasing one.
Near the Whitedawn Lagoon, Fjord unsuccessfully attempted to intimidate the jungle and was immediately swallowed by a mantrap.
"Family Shatters" (2x96)
For the first time, Fjord used the last name Stone as the party introduced themselves to Caduceus's family. Fjord went with Jester, Beau, Yasha, and Nott as they played pranks on the petrified villagers, attempting to rein them in slightly if necessary. Later that night, Fjord and Beau discussed the Traveler, expressing mutual distrust towards him. Fjord mentioned that, for the time being, he would observe how things unfolded.since no one had been hurt yet.
"The Fancy and the Fooled" (2x97)
During the party, Fjord struck up a conversation with Captain Deremi of the Blue Heaven, who informed him that his ship would be delivering key individuals for the negotiations. While the rest of the Mighty Nein departed with Essek for the Balleater, Fjord and Beau remained at the party. Pretending to be part of the security detail, they approached a dragonborn disguised as a Dwendalian noble, whom Beau had identified with Truesight. While Fjord and Beau discussed what to do with him, the dragonborn slipped away. Fjord received messages first from Caleb and later from Jester, prompting them to head towards the Balleater.
"Dark Waters" (2x98)
Fjord followed Jester as she hurried back to the party, realizing she had left her mother there. They escorted her back to the Lavish Chateau. Afterward, Fjord and Jester dined together downstairs, waiting for the rest of the party.
During the journey towards the negotiations, Caleb mentioned to Fjord that he had noticed Fjord seemed more at ease out in the open sea. Fjord agreed, expressing that he no longer felt pressured to pretend to know everything since they could lean on each other for support. Caleb was impressed with Fjord's selflessness in trying to broker peace between two nations he wasn't from. Fjord mentioned that he enjoys looking after the others as they pursue their goals. Reflecting on a previous conversation where Fjord asked about his past, Caleb shared details about his family and history. Fjord acknowledged that even though Caleb did terrible things in the past, he still sees a good man in him. He mentioned that anytime they interact with the Cerberus Assembly, his eyes are locked on Caleb since Fjord has no idea what they are capable of.

Fjord had another dream in which he was standing in a lush, green forest. Walking around, he noticed that while he could go deeper into the forest, the landscape seemed to endlessly loop in on itself. He tried to summon the Star Razor and plunge it into the ground, but instead summoned his old falchion.[168] He started feeling a burning sensation in his chest and woke up to find an assassin of Uk'otoa stabbing him in the chest. A battle ensued between the crew on the Balleater and several mutated assassins of Uk'otoa. In the end, the Mighty Nein were victorious, but not before the assassins killed Fjord and Orly Skiffback.
"High Seas, High Stakes" (2x99)
Fjord and Orly were immediately revived by Jester and Caduceus. Fjord explained that he was unaware that the Cloven Crystal was still inside his chest, and that he thought it was destroyed when he threw his sword into the lava pit in "Clay and Dust" (2x72). Caduceus cast Greater Restoration on Fjord at 6th level in order to remove the crystal, causing Fjord to vomit seawater and the crystal onto the deck of the ship. It was stored in Caleb's amber pieces, marking Fjord's full transition from serving Uk'otoa to the Wildmother. Later, in the middle of the night, Fjord was reminded of the cold darkness after he took his final breath. Melora helped comfort him by washing away his anxiety and fear. He took comfort in the fact that if he had fallen, she would have caught him.
"Ghosts, Dinosaurs, and Stuff" (2x102)
During the battle with the Bodak, Fjord immediately rushes over to the unconscious Beau and expends two points of Lay on Hands to revive her. Due to Fjord's new pact with Melora, his Hexblade's Curse manifested as green veins instead of inky black tentacles.[169] Although Fjord sustains significant injuries from the Bodak's Withering Gaze, he successfully dispatches it with a Banishing Smite.
Later, en route to Vokodo, Fjord utilizes Lay on Hands again to cure Jester of a disease. During a short rest, he privately suggests to her that she might be able to employ her spells to recover Viridian's memories. Fjord expresses his concern, cautioning Jester about the possibility that the Traveler might be manipulating her to ascend to godhood, emphasizing that he doesn't want her to get hurt. Just before entering Vokodo's lair, Fjord attempts to use Lay on Hands on Viridian, but it proves ineffective.
As the group presents small offerings to Vokodo, the creature remains dissatisfied until Fjord decides to present the Star Razor, which is deemed acceptable. The others are also required to offer something precious to them.
"Maritime Mysteries" (2x103)
As they were setting up camp on the nearby beach in the dark, Fjord summoned Dwueth'var to make it glow, noting that reclaiming the gift he offered Vokodo may anger him. In the morning, Fjord is one of the people who have a large portion of their memories missing due to Vokodo's influence over the island. Luckily, they had enough materials for Greater Restoration on all of them.
As the group investigates the area around the waterfall, Fjord and Caduceus notice something behind the waterfall. With Jester's use of Control Water, Fjord swims into a cavern full of abandoned ships. Fjord shouts for the others to join him. He dives beneath the water and sees a similar-looking cavern to the previous passage to Vokodo's lair. As Caduceus joins Fjord, he is overtaken by a desire to swim into the lair. Fjord immediately goes after him, managing to resist the influence, and Commands him to Stop. Fjord grabs him and drags him back to the tunnel entrance. Caduceus manages to blind Fjord and break free from his grasp. Fjord swims up to the surface and shouts for the others to help.
"Rumble at Rumblecusp" (2x105)
With Fjord and Beau being the fastest underwater, the others attach themselves to them, and under the influence, they start swimming toward the lair to confront Vokodo. During the fight, Veth and Fjord use illusions of a giant black portal to the Astral Sea and an Astral dreadnought to frighten Vokodo.

"A Fog Lifted" (2x106)
In Vo village, Fjord talks with Orly Skiffback and the rest of his crew and points them in the direction of the abandoned ship called Eden's Horizon, later renamed the Nein Heroez. Fjord served as a lookout while the group was counting gold collected from Vokodo's lair, during that, he was called over by Terra. With Yasha and Caduceus by his side, Fjord goes after her, and during their conversation, he recognizes her real name, Kotho, as the name of a famous bounty hunter from the Menagerie Coast.
While preparing for Traveler Con, Fjord expressed growing concern for Jester as they prepared for Traveler Con. Fjord expressed his fear that if people got mad at the Traveler for disengaging with them, they could possibly turn their anger towards Jester due to her acting as Artagan's high priestess. But he didn't care about the other villagers. He cared about Jester. He explained that he would support Jester in whatever she did, but that if the Traveler hurt her or caused harm to come to her, he wouldn't support that. Fjord also told Jester that he felt she had been keeping her internal feelings and discussions with the Traveler to herself, and that she could tell him.
"Devoutness and Dicks" (2x107)
As people are preparing to leave Rumblecusp, Fjord notices Kotho and approaches her. He requests her help in finding someone for him, Sabian, his former crew member under Vandran.
"Traveler Con" (2x108)
During the opening celebrations of Traveler Con, Beau talked with Fjord about what his plans might be after the Mighty Nein eventually part ways. She also asked about his feelings for Jester. Fjord said that he wasn't really sure where he stands with Jester, but admitted that he feels very strongly for her. He has changed who he is as a person so much since meeting her and the rest of the Nein that he doesn't know what's next. But he knows he wants Jester to be happy and hopes that she is a part of whatever adventure he has next.
When an angelic servant of the Moonweaver captured the Traveler and threatened to take him away, Jester grabbed him and Fjord chased after her. He teleported up to her, hanging onto her and saying she had to let him go, but she can't. The Traveler kicks both of them off and they are caught by the Nein. The Traveler, spared by the angel, leaves and with the ceremony over Jester went to Fjord. He hugged her and assured that they wouldn't have let her leave like that. She thanked him for hanging onto her, saying she didn't know what she would have done if he hadn't.
"Frigid Propositions" (2x109)
Fjord and Yasha go to Meandering Treasures at the Restless Wharf, where they find a Ring of Fire Resistance previously pawned and never reclaimed for 5000 gp. At first, they leave without it, but later, Fjord decides to return and purchase it, discovering that the ring was intended for Diedric Sutan.
In Rexxentrum, Fjord buys a small chipped porcelain unicorn, which he later gives to Jester while they are dancing together.
"The Chase Begins" (2x112)
When the Mighty Nein traveled north with Vess DeRogna, sailing to Eiselcross aboard the Midnight Hammer, Fjord went to the bow of the ship, reflecting on what had happened the last time he was out in the open sea. He meditated and prayed to the Wildmother for calm seas and protection from Uk'otoa. During meditation, he received a vision of warm horizons, sunrises on seas he'd never seen, uncharted islands, and mysteries in ocean depths. He also felt the presence of the Wildmother and, in a conversation with her, he took the Oath of the Open Sea.[170][171]
On the fourth day of their journey, the Nein were attacked by chuuls. While they were distracted by the creatures, a previously unnoticed deep scion used Dispel Magic to break Caleb's amber necklace, in which the Cloven Crystal was stored. It fell onto the deck. As more minions of Uk'otoa appeared on the ship, Fjord noticed a figure pulling herself up over the side of the boat. He heard a familiar voice of the now-undead Avantika, as she tried to pull him over the side of the boat, but he resisted.
Arc 6: Weird Magic[]
"A Heart Grown Cold" (2x113)
During the ensuing fight, Fjord used his Hexblade's Curse on Avantika before rushing over to the Cloven Crystal. He employed Marine Layer, his Channel Divinity, to conceal the Crystal. Unfortunately, Avantika managed to locate it and pick it up. Fjord successfully used Command to make her drop it, but she recovered it and teleported away. Fjord, Yasha, and Caleb transformed into killer whales, with the rest of the Nein tying themselves to them, and pursued her. Eventually, they caught up, and Fjord dropped his form, utilizing Relentless Hex to teleport to her. After a brief fight, Fjord, using Divine Smite, bisected her body with the Star Razor, which grew and gained new runes. Fjord then retrieved Avantika's weapons and the Cloven Crystal, informing the other members that he would keep the Crystal on him for the time being.
Fan art of Fjord with Star Razor, by HeartofPack.[art 31]
Back on the boat, Fjord apologized to the party for endangering them a second time, fearing that Uk'otoa would come after him again even if they found a safe place for the Cloven Crystal. Fjord received the Amulet of Proof against Detection and Location from Caleb, hoping that it would hide him from Uk'otoa.
"An Open Window" (2x114)
Later in Balenpost, Fjord and Jester went up to DeRogna's room and received no response from her. After gathering the rest of the party, they discovered that DeRogna had been killed in her room. Fjord utilized his illusion magic to conceal her death, creating an image of Vess, ensuring that the soldiers wouldn't enter the room under any circumstances. While the rest of the Nein investigated and moved the body into Widogast's Nascent Nein-Sided Tower, Fjord remained outside as a lookout. Once they had successfully covered up the incident, Fjord went to find Dagen Underthorn to inform him that they were ready to leave for Aeor, mentioning that DeRogna would join them later.
"Fetching Fables & Frosty Friends" (2x115)
The first night during his watch, Fjord cast See Invisibility and noticed a Scrying orb floating near Jester. He woke Caleb up, who saw nothing. Fjord approached the orb, leaned in, and said that anyone who tried to harm any of his friends would be pursued to the ends of the world. A few days later, when Jester received a message from Lucien, Fjord cast See Invisibility and spotted an orb hovering over Jester once more.
"Under Timeless Ice" (2x116)
While in A5, alone at the top of one of the rooms holding the rope, Fjord dropped it with Veth on it. Since Caduceus was heavily injured and surrounded by cold snap spirits, Fjord slid down, grabbed him, and used Thunder Step to get him out and to destroy the two remaining spirits.
"The Tortoise and The Dare" (2x117)
When the Nein enter Widogast's Nascent Nein-Sided Tower to rest for the night, Fjord, concerned about the possibility of the Tombtakers constantly scrying on Jester, stops her to have a conversation. He worries that they might exploit their connection with her to cause harm to her, so he gives her the Amulet of Proof against Detection and Location that Caleb had initially given to him. Jester then asks how he is doing, especially after encountering Avantika again. Fjord assures her that he's alright but expresses his desire to move forward with his life, noting that his old life still haunts him. He wants to address his past before starting a new chapter. He talks to her about approaching Kotho to locate Sabien, and Jester assists by casting Sending to contact the bounty hunter. Fjord learns that Sabien is currently residing on Darktow Isle.

"Solace Between the Secrets" (2x118)
Later, as Jester lost some years of her lifespan after interacting with a strange circle of statues, Fjord goes to her room. He tells her he is genuinely concerned about her and reminds her of his promise to protect her. They have an honest conversation in which he reveals that he cares deeply for her, and with her permission, he kisses her.
"Contentious Company" (2x120)
As the Nein explore A2, they encounter an automaton. During the fight, Fjord is harpooned, but Caleb's Cat's Ire removes him from the skewering barb. After the battle, Fjord places the amber vault with the threshold crest into the Bag of Holding. As the party makes their way back up to the entry chamber, Caduceus unsuccessfully lies to Iver Climtaver about the condition of his former companions. Iver attempts to escape by cutting the rope, leaving the Mighty Nein in A2. Fjord casts Fly to pursue him to the top and intimidates him into compliance.
Fjord takes the first watch, joined by Jester, who leans her head on his shoulder. In the morning, they are awakened by Lucien, who is annoyed that they took the crest from the ruins. After a conversation about Lucien's plans, Fjord convinces him to let the Nein join him on his quest.
"Ice and Fire" (2x121)
During the night as Fjord and Beau take a watch together, he reveals to her that he told Jester how he feels. And Beau shares with him that she asked Yasha out on a date.
"Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained" (2x122)
One night, Fjord shares with Lucien that he is being pursued by Uk'otoa whenever he is near water. However, he expresses that he enjoys the challenge and intends to close that chapter of his life on his own terms.
Fjord noticed a Scrying orb while he and his friends were talking, confirming that the other group was likely spying on them. He was also the first to notice when the first eye marks appeared on Beau's and Caleb's bodies, as he was on night watch.
"Fair-weather Faith" (2x123)
When the two groups were discovered by Gelidon, Fjord was the one who stopped hesitating. Realizing that with one cold breath, the dragon could take out both groups, he cast Fly to face the dragon instead of hiding. After the dragon fled, he kissed Jester in front of everyone, making their relationship public. He was also displeased with Lucien since the blood hunter was willing to let the white dragon fly away while Beau was still with her.
Later, as everyone prepared to sleep in the tower, Fjord noticed that Otis had stolen his Bag of Holding during the fight with the dragon. The Mighty Nein chased the Tombtakers to retrieve the bag with the crest. During that encounter, realizing that many members were struggling, Fjord jumped off the transformed Jester to distract the Tombtakers while the others escaped. In a confrontation with Lucien, Fjord was hit with a Brand of Castigation. When Cree attempted to cast Slow on the escaping group, Fjord Counterspelled it. He then teleported back to the group and used Major Image to create an illusion of Gelidon returning. This distraction worked, allowing the Nein to make their escape.
"The Neverending Day" (2x125)
When Fjord shows Dwueth'var to Allura, asking if it would be affected by Lucien's anti-magic cone, she recognizes it as a Vestige of Divergence and urges him to keep it a secret for his own safety.[172]Fjord convinces Allura and Kima to let them borrow some supplies and the Holy Avenger for the inevitable confrontation.[173]
"Worth Fighting For" (2x126)
Fjord shows the others the brand on his chest from Lucien. Both Caleb and Jester attempt to use Dispel Magic on it, but their efforts fail. Later, Fjord and Jester take the Ring of Fire Resistance to a jewelry shop to see if they can sell it. However, they decide to keep it after being offered less money than it is worth.
"Sarsaparilla, Licorice, and Red Hot" (2x127)
Since Fjord had been branded by Lucien, and the Tombtakers had been frequently Scrying on them, they decided to break into the Vergesson Sanatorium to steal more magical amulets. Fjord cast Arcane Gate to get the others closer to the tower, while he, Yasha, and Caduceus stayed outside the building to provide support. When Trent Ikithon appeared, Fjord tried to distract him with an illusory red dragon. However, Trent saw through the illusion and teleported inside, while the guards were distracted.
"Cat and Mouse" (2x128)
After retrieving the objects, they teleported to Nicodranas. Upon reuniting with the other team, they proceeded to the Lavish Chateau. Caduceus noticed two suspicious figures sitting downstairs. Disguised as a busboy, Fjord went downstairs. When asked to leave by Carlos, Fjord walked close enough to detect their fake accents and witness them casting a spell on Bluud. Fjord, Beau, and Caduceus confronted them, and Astrid Becke, in disguise, warned them that Trent was coming after them.
To avoid capture, the Mighty Nein split up. Fjord went to the Folding Halls of Halas with Beau and Yasha, as neither Yasha nor Beau could wield magic to get back out. While the rest of the team, along with Veth's and Jester's family, Planeshifted to the Elemental Plane of Fire. Fjord was handed the almost open Happy Fun Ball to perform the final move that transported the team inside.
"Between a Ball and a Hot Place" (2x129)
Fjord, Yasha, and Beau find themselves in the Tapestry Entrance. After some trouble with a door, they manage to reach the Dragon Guard Exit. Fjord unlocks the exit by using Armor of Agathys, and they successfully make their way out.
Upon reuniting with the other team in the Material Plane, Jester asks Fjord to help her mother while she sends a message to her father.
"The Calm Before the Storm" (2x130)
Fjord and Jester go for a walk around Blooming Grove. After Jester brings up that he never got the chance to talk to Vandran and asks him if he wants her to send him a message, Fjord tells her that there is no need because he will go see him after they stop Lucien.
"Into the Eye" (2x131)
In the morning, Jester confesses to Fjord that she contacted Vandran. Confused as to why Vandran was reading Tusk Love, Fjord thanked Jester and comforted her, assuring her that they would make it back alive so they could go and see Vandran.
During their travel back to Aeor, Fjord learns from another message to Vandran that he is stranded near Bisaft Isle, which is close to where the Tide's Breath went down years ago. Later, Caleb requests that Fjord kills him if the eyes take control, telling Fjord that he's calling in the favor owed from way back in Dashilla's lair.[174]
"Aeor" (2x132)
Fjord reminds the Nein, now joined by Essek, about the brand on his chest from Lucien, as they travel to Aeor to ambush the Tombtakers. After Essek fails to dispel it, Jester tries again and succeeds.
After traversing a few chambers in the secret tunnel, searching for the perfect place for the ambush, Fjord and Beau have a private conversation. They both agree that they won't find a better ambush spot than the large drop into the chamber near the entrance. When Beau suggests considering an emergency exit in case the plan fails, Fjord tells her that there is no exit for him. Perhaps there is one for others, but he plans to stay until the end, and he believes that she will stay as well.[175]
"Hunter and Hunted" (2x133)
Fjord and Beau remain near the tower door while the rest of the group rests, awaiting the Tombtakers to fall into their trap. When Essek receives a message through the sending stone that Dagen and the rangers have spotted a troop of five, he asks Fjord, who is still awake, if they should engage. Hoping that it might force the Tombtakers to take more time and allow the group enough rest for the fight, Fjord says "Yes," fully aware that the rangers would likely not survive the encounter.
After being expelled from the tower, Fjord hears Lucien cursing in the trapped chamber. They rush over to him, and Fjord decapitates Zoran after teleporting near him with Far Step. Lucien shifts his antimagic cone onto Fjord before Cree teleports away with Lucien.
"The Streets of the Forgotten" (2x134)
While chasing Lucien and Cree Deeproots, the Mighty Nein dealt with wild magic surges. Although some were harmless, as seen during their journey through A2 when spectral butterflies surrounded both Fjord and Jester,[176][177] the half-orc lost all of his hair due to this phenomenon while fighting an absorber.
"The Genesis Ward" (2x135)
After entering a rejuvenation chamber with dunamantic restoring properties found in the ruins, Fjord regrew his hair.
"Where There Is a Will..." (2x138)
Fjord prevented Cree's attempt to teleport away using the Cape of the Mountebank with a Counterspell. After she transformed into a monstrosity of flesh, teeth, and eyes, Fjord saw a fractal-like pattern emanating from the transformed Cree. When the group concluded the fight, they noticed red eyes appearing on their bodies, and Fjord discovered one on his left palm.
"Rebirth" (2x139)
When Fjord asked Lucien why he spared them and if he sought an audience, Lucien became confused by his own actions. Later, he answered that he needed someone to witness his birth cry. During the final battle against the transformed and empowered Lucien, Fjord's Ring of Fire Resistance, which he had given to Jester, proved useful when she was struck by a Fireball. Following Fjord being Slowed by Luctus, he had to teleport inside a tower for shelter, while Jester cast Dispel Magic, lifting the Slow effect.
"Long May He Reign" (2x140)
During the battle against Cognouza Incarnate, Fjord utilized his Marine Layer to evade attacks from the Somnovem, creating a mist that shielded him from most of the eyes. In the process, he successfully defeated Timorei and Luctus. When Fastidan began causing substantial damage to the rest of the Mighty Nein, Fjord employed Arcane Gate to swiftly reach Veth, bringing her under the cover of his Marine Layer. He also positioned himself near Jester and Caduceus. After Jester was resurrected, Caduceus dragged her under the mist for protection. Keeping his hand on Jester, Fjord finished off Fastidan with an Eldritch Blast. Following Jester's decisive strike against Lucien with a Guiding Bolt, Fjord searched for his Bag of Holding. With Jester's assistance, he retrieved it, immediately looking for the Cloven Crystal inside and feeling relieved when he found it.

The group attempted to resurrect Mollymauk Tealeaf, but Caleb's first try failed. Essek expressed sadness about the situation, and Fjord comforted him, encouraging him to channel the anger he felt into turning his life around. He mentioned to Essek that he had proven himself and that Fjord saw a good man in him. Caduceus' Divine Intervention proved valuable, and the ninth member of the Mighty Nein was successfully revived.
"Fond Farewells" (2x141)
The adventuring group returned to the Blooming Grove, and that night Jester told Fjord that she loved him but was too embarrassed to allow him to answer anything. The next day, Trent Ikithon, along with Astrid Becke and Eadwulf Grieve, attacked the place and set the house on fire. Fjord used his Arcane Gate to get the families out and into the woods. As soon as they were a safe distance away, Fjord returned to the fight and clashed swords with Eadwulf, impressing him in the process. At the same time, Fjord used his Counterspell to prevent Ikithon from fleeing through Dimension Door, while Beau tried to put the Collar of Silence on him. As soon as they incapacitated Trent, Fjord and Beau convinced the frustrated Astrid not to kill him. While putting out the fire that the archmage had started in the home of the Clays, Fjord cast Create Water over the place. Under that magical rain, he told Jester he loved her too, and they kissed.
During their celebration in Nicodranas, the couple snuck out to the water tower. Fjord expressed his desire to find Vandran and sail the seas, asking her if she would join him, and she immediately agreed. After Jester mentioned that they always have a place to stay in the Lavish Chateau with her mother, Fjord said he hoped that they could get their own place and move in together, which Jester happily agreed to. Kingsley Tealeaf (the new person living in Lucien's body) expressed his deep interest in learning from Fjord and becoming a sailor on his crew, which he ended up doing.
Between Campaigns Two and Three[]
Fjord, Jester, and Kingsley sailed off on the Nein Heroez for Bisaft Isle where they found Vandran and learned about his dark past with the Cloven Crystal and Avantika. When the Tide's Breath had been sabotaged, Vandran thought Fjord was dead. Fjord told him that it meant the world to him when Vandran took him in and taught him kindness, love, and honor. He offered to take Vandran aboard his ship wherever he wanted to go. As they were heading back to the ship, Vandran warned Fjord that Uk'otoa is a hungry beast and that the power would consume him in time. Fjord told him that they would have to do something about it. Fjord planned not to let the Cloven Crystal out of his sight, but wanted to be able to give a detailed report of where the third keyhole was before he turned it over to the Cobalt Soul.[178]
Fjord and Jester bought a very small property in Nicodranas so that they wouldn't have to stay with Jester's mother Marion in the Lavish Chateau while in port, and spent the next months monitoring the waters between the Menagerie Coast and Darktow Isle while trying to start a shipping company (tentatively named "Stone's Throw Shipping"). One evening, a storm overtook the ship and Fjord felt a cold sensation and an absence of direction from the Wildmother. As a wave crashed over the ship, Fjord found himself in darkness and heard the familiar but long-unheard voice of Uk'otoa in his head: "I found you." He saw a yellow eye open in front of him and cast Fly on himself as the ship was invaded by a storm giant and multiple deep scions, who attacked and almost immediately knocked Jester unconscious. Fjord cast Cure Wounds on her to bring her back, and saying, "Forgive me," pulled out the Cloven Crystal. Seeing it, the giant demanded, "Relinquish the key and be spared a cold forgotten grave below," and Fjord reluctantly gave the Crystal to a scion. Fjord promised he would see them again, but the giant tore the ship apart and destroyed it before departing.[179]

Kingsley, Fjord, and Jester escaped in Kingsley's boat-in-a-box and landed on the Twinward Isles, where at Fjord's urging Jester Sent to Caleb and Veth requesting the party's assistance. Fjord was worried about abandoning his crew, but Orly assured him they'd be fine. Fjord was also upset with himself and disheartened for not making sure the crystal was secure on land before he went to sea, although Jester tried to reassure him.[180] Once they were joined by the rest of the Mighty Nein (except Caduceus), the group traveled via Teleport to Nicodranas where they spent the night at Fjord and Jester's home before traveling on to the Cyrios End Forest (where Fjord had determined the third temple must be based on his earlier vision of its location). While traveling through the forest they found a root-buried ancient statue of the Wildmother holding a jade green gem with a divine magical essence bringing a blessing of luck to the bearer. It felt warm to Fjord's touch and he easily removed and kept it.[181]
Eventually they reached the ancient ruins of a temple just as the party of deep scions led by the storm giant approached. During the ensuing battle, despite the party's best efforts, a deep scion was able to use the Cloven Crystal to unlock Uk'otoa from his prison. The eyes of a three-headed snake statue began glowing green, and when Fjord addressed it, it replied: "Traitorous failure. False god. Foolish pretender. It will not escape punishment. And you, you carry the mark of its chosen." It demanded an explanation. Fjord explained they were trying to stop Uk'otoa, not aid him, but the god demanded a pact if their interests were to align: one of them will bear his mark, a necessary step to bind the Beast, but it will remain with the bearer as long as Zehir wants it to. Kingsley immediately volunteered, but Fjord claimed the responsibility and the obligation to accept the pact. As he approached the statue, a green flame burned into his chest. The statue cracked, revealing a rapier embedded within it, the Fang of the Spire King, which Fjord accepted but gave to Kingsley as more suited to his fighting style. Because of Fjord's lingering pact with Uk'otoa and the fact that he now bore the mark of vengeance of Zehir, he realized that Uk'otoa was free in the southern Lucidian Ocean, where the party then headed.[182]
During the battle against Uk'otoa, Fjord was momentarily Controlled by the leviathan and attacked Jester, but was able to regain control of himself. At the conclusion of the fight, each party member attacked it, with Fjord finishing it with a lightning-enhanced strike with Star Razor on Veth's thrown Fluffernutter. However, as the creature pulled in on itself and sank into the ocean depths, they realized it was not dead, but must be chained again. Caleb (in the form of a dragon turtle) dragged Fjord downward after it, and Fjord was able to reach it. He called out to Zehir, telling him Uk'otoa should be sealed away forever. Focusing on the mark on his chest, he attempted to push the power into Uk'otoa as the runes alit, burning away his armor as he and the leviathan sank deeper and deeper and the water grew hotter, until suddenly, Uk'otoa was gone, and all that remained were three floating crystals. Fjord gathered them up. His armor had been destroyed, but the rune on his chest remained and he could sense the pact with Zehir, but could also feel the presence of the Wildmother within him. Leaves and vines sprouted from the rune and consumed it until it had disappeared.[183]
Fjord gave one of the newly-created crystals to the Cobalt Soul, and put one in Vokodo's lair on Rumblecusp. He kept the location of the third to himself. He unseated Grankton, the head of the orphanage in which he was raised, and purged it of its black market dealings, although the wood shop was still there. He and Jester bought the property next door to their shack to expand into an art studio for Jester.[184]
Years later, while operating his shipping company "Stone's Throw Shipping", Fjord recovered a ship after defeating a pirate attack and gave it to Kingsley to captain for him. A month later, Kingsley and the ship vanished, leaving a note thanking Fjord but telling him he was never giving the ship back. Despite this, Fjord ended up owning several ships he used for his company: the Wayward Accent, the Rumblecusp Express, and the Sapphire of the Sea (the latter belonging to Jester, after whom it was named). He also recovered the Nein Heroez.
Campaign Three: Bells Hells[]
During the Apogee Solstice of 843 PD, the Mighty Nein reformed to recapture Trent Ikithon, able to escape his bonds due to the magical disruption plaguing the land. He travelled with them to Rexxentrum, where they discovered the archmage's secret dungeon beneath his prison. Fjord, standing behind their new friend (and investigator) Aggy as he explored, got a lungful of dust as the latter disintegrated. Through the use of several Magic Mouths, Caleb was invited by Trent to return to his childhood home, Blumenthal. After a night in the tower, the Mighty Nein travelled with him, very aware they were walking into a trap. As Caleb entered to the sound of laughing and merriment, Fjord used the Star Razor to detect the presence of two undead within - presumed to be the animated corpses of Caleb's parents, Leofric and Una. Fjord and Jester quickly followed him in to provide support in the ensuing conversation. Once she had heard enough, Jester apologised to Caleb and cast Turn Undead on his parents. Trent responded with a Fireball in the center of the room, sundering the table and the home at once, but Fjord and Jester took minimal damage due to his Blast Scepter and her Ring of Fire Resistance.

As the battle progressed and Trent hit them with a potent Meteor Swarm, it became clear that Trent wasn't really before them, which Fjord confirmed with an Eldritch Blast. Instead, he chose to aid Beau in finishing off the now ghoulish and burning form of Leofric with the rest of the Blasts. Meanwhile, outside, after being accosted with an Anti-Magic Field by Jester, Trent chose to break a strange webbed egg-like artifact, releasing the essence of Omentis and binding it to himself. In this process, he became a massive demonic entity who immediately began to stride toward the centre of the village. Fjord immediately used the Star Razor to cast Fly, keeping up with the demon and striking it consistently. The battle became a kaiju battle, with Caleb and his Simulacrum taking the forms of Gelidon and a T-Rex, respectively. Managing to climb the figure, and aided by Caduceus turning its flesh translucent, Beau ripped the egg from its chest and tossed it to Caleb, who blasted it with ice, ending the battle. Returning to his true form, Caleb sent the egg into a Demiplane, and the party agreed to celebrate and clean up the town. Suddenly, Fjord asked Jester to marry him, to which she said yes - and the pair kissed as Artagan conjured flowers around them.[185]
After dealing with Trent Ikithon, Fjord and the rest of the Mighty Nein continued traveling together on another mission. During this time, they were contacted by Allura Vysoren, who believed they were best suited to handle a threat known as the Weave Mind on Ruidus, while another group called Bells Hells would take on Ludinus Da'leth. Eventually, the two groups converged near Lake Umamu, where the portal to Ruidus was located. Upon meeting Bells Hells, Fjord reminded everyone that minotaurs were Veth's weakness, and was convinced that Chetney Pock O'Pea wasn't actually part of Bells Hells but simply an innkeeper. When Jester enthusiastically introduced herself as "Pirate Jester," Fjord, weary, gently reminded her that she didn't need to be a pirate every time she introduced herself, noting that she had been calling herself that for a couple of years now just to impress new people.[186] The half-orc introduced himself as Fjord Stone, claiming to be a merchant from Stone's Throw Shipping, while Jester added that he was an admiral with multiple fleets. When everyone got excited about pirates, Fjord remarked that they might as well be space pirates now, given their mission to the moon. He introduced Jester as his fiancée, which surprised Veth, who angrily pointed out that Fjord hadn't bought her a new ring. The couple, however, decided to consider the Ring of Fire Resistance as the wedding ring due to its sentimental value. The situation grew tense when Braius, a minotaur who kept glaring at Jester, accused her of ruining his life by vandalizing a temple in Zadash. Fjord tried to diffuse the hostility, but Yasha stepped in, eager for a fight. The half-orc managed to calm them down, suggesting they settle things after sharing a meal. The Mighty Nein followed their new companions to a lake portal, and Fjord summoned his blade, Star Razor, to light the way as they traveled to Ruidus, the red moon.
Dorian Storm and the others celebrated loudly upon arrival, but Fjord quickly hushed them to avoid drawing unwanted attention. He joked to Jester that they could spend their honeymoon on the moon, and Jester suggested having a small wedding right then and there since they might not survive. While the others cheered at the idea, Fjord quickly declined, and Jester agreed. The group teleported to a shop in Kreviris and rested in Widogast's Nascent Nein-Sided Tower. Fjord, struggling with his cat allergies, kept to himself until Beau brought him some whiskey and asked for his thoughts on their new allies. He doubted Bells Hells would survive the battle and wanted to focus on their own mission, though the duo agreed to step in if the other team failed. That night, Jester asked Fjord if he regretted proposing since he had declined the small ceremony they’d been offered earlier. Fjord immediately reassured her, saying he’d never regret it. He wanted her to have the real wedding she deserved and saw waiting as a promise that they’d both make it back alive. He shared how excited he was to see the wedding that Jester’s imagination would create and asked her to promise there wouldn’t be any cats. Just then, Pâté de Rolo, whom Jester had borrowed from Laudna, interrupted them. Mistaking him for a threat, Fjord blasted him with an Eldritch Blast, destroying him. Jester quickly explained that she and Laudna had exchanged pets for a day, with Laudna taking their weasel, Sprinkle, and Fjord promised to sort it out in the morning.[187] The next day, Jester and Fjord told Laudna that Pâté had left to explore the moon. However, Fjord eventually confessed he had mistaken Pâté for an enemy and accidentally killed him. Laudna forgave him, revealing she could summon Pâté back at any time. Disguised as Reilorans and Bormodos, the group departed the tower and soon arrived at a shrine-like garden encircled by Reilorans and filled with relics from Exandria, where they also discovered a petrified Planerider Ryn. Fjord grabbed Caduceus and cast Major Illusion to create an enormous red tornado above them, using Marine Layer to mask them as they moved directly beneath the storm toward the statue. Using Greater Restoration, Caduceus successfully freed Ryn, and Fjord introduced them as allies of Bells Hells. However, Ryn teleported away using what the warlock recognized as Dimension Door before they could fully explain. A massive vidulch began pursuing the illusory storm, and as everyone blended in with the crowd, Fjord sent the storm in another direction, prompting the creature to follow it. As the skies darkened, Veth nervously asked if the ominous weather was Fjord’s doing, and he joked about accumulating power on his sea journey. The party finally reached the Volition safe house, where Jester helped them get into the tunnels overlooking the subterranean city of Kreviris. Needing to meet Gaz Tomo, a Volition member, they strategized how to descend safely. Fjord offered to bring them closer to their destination using a gate and then pointed to a deserted alley where a portal suddenly appeared, created with Arcane Gate. The gate transported them near the meeting place undetected, and soon they rendezvoused with Gaz, taking a brief rest. During this time, Jester and Imogen contacted Allura to prepare the attack on the Malleus Key.[188] While resting, Bells Hells deliberated on their plan to release Predathos as a means of forcing the gods to leave Exandria. However, Fjord, Yasha, and Caduceus opposed the idea, recalling how the gods had saved both Fjord and Yasha in the past. Ultimately, they agreed to trust the other team to make the right decision when the time came. As they waited for the signal, Jester and Fjord discussed colors for their wedding, and Beau revealed that she wanted to be Fjord’s best man. Jester, flustered, admitted she had planned to ask Beau to be her maid of honor. Before Fjord could respond, Fearne and Braius remarked on his seeming hesitation about the wedding. Fjord denied it, explaining that his thoughts were preoccupied with the upcoming battle.
The teams soon split up, with the Mighty Nein joining the Volition to infiltrate the Arx Creonum and eliminate the Weave Mind. Upon reaching a towering belfry topped with a dark metal bell, the Mighty Nein, alongside Gaz, used a metal cable to propel themselves toward the citadel. Fjord flew close by, ready to assist anyone who fell. When Jester’s and Yasha’s harnesses snapped mid-journey, Fjord swiftly caught Jester, carrying her to the citadel, while Caleb, in eagle form, rescued Yasha. The team reached a damaged section of the Arx Creonum but was immediately ambushed by multiple reiloran defenders near the opening. Still carrying Jester, Fjord unleashed his Eldritch Blast to take down a Reiloran Juggernaut attacking Beau. In retaliation, he was struck by a feskul, but the half-orc continued to fly toward the opening. Once everyone had made it inside, Jester let go of Fjord and leaped to join the rest of the Nein. The warlock then killed the feskul, ensuring it could not follow them, before flying into the citadel to join the others.[189] As the group pressed on, Veth encouraged Fjord to use his navigation skills and take the lead, betting 500 gold against Beau that he would fail to guide them to the Weave Mind. Despite her wager, Fjord successfully navigated the party to their destination: a pyramid-shaped room with two double doors. He immediately inspected the right door and cast See Invisibility. Through the spell, he spotted two magically cloaked figures, each focused on separate glass pillars. A voice echoed in his mind, welcoming him and asking if he had come to converse. When Fjord declined, the figures used their psychic powers to pull him into the room. Caleb intercepted with Telekinesis, preventing Fjord from being dragged in.
Fjord quickly cast Faerie Fire to reveal the figures to the party, but the creatures evaded the spell. He then used Far Step to teleport behind one of the Reiloran leaders, catching sight of a massive Ruidian glass archway. Through it, he glimpsed a faint vision of a battlefield on Exandria, where opposing forces clashed. Seeing her captain vanish, Beau activated her Empty Body ability to turn invisible and followed him. She engaged the invisible foe he was facing, landing several strikes before Fjord stopped her to question the Weave Mind about their purpose. Telepathically, the Weave Mind revealed that they were vessels of Predathos, working to secure the future of their people on the Blue Dream. They criticized the inhabitants of Exandria for taking their world for granted. Hoping to aid the party, Fjord tried to persuade the Weave Mind to reveal themselves, arguing it would facilitate communication. However, when the creature continued to float away, Beau resumed her assault. The Weave Mind projected their voices telepathically to the entire party. Realizing the creatures had no intention of reasoning with them, the Mighty Nein pressed their attack. Since Fjord was the only one who could see all five figures, Jester used her Divine Intervention, making the Weave Mind visible to everyone. The Weave Mind retaliated with Horrid Puppet, attempting to infiltrate Fjord’s mind, but he easily resisted, grounding himself with thoughts of Jester and their bachelor party. Caduceus followed with his own Divine Intervention, rendering the crystals that empowered their enemies vulnerable. Seizing the opportunity, Fjord teleported to the central crystal and shattered it with Star Razor. The entire room trembled as the crystal broke. Beau, recognizing the crystals were linked to the Weave Mind’s power, alerted the group. Fjord unleashed a series of Eldritch Blasts, destroying more crystals while the rest of the party focused on attacking the Weave Mind. The five Reilorans turned their fury on Fjord, but before they could strike, he pretended to fall off a ledge, only to teleport to safety beneath a bridge. Yasha managed to kill one of the Reilorans, while Beau, Fjord, and Jester focused their attacks on a prone member of the Weave Mind, weakening the creature enough for Caleb to deliver the finishing blow, bringing the battle to an end.[190]
Fjord was present with the rest of the Mighty Nein at the Matron of Ravens' invocation of the Rites of Catatheosis and the gods becoming mortal. During the subsequent council regarding the Ruidian refugees, Fjord suggested that they should aid them in the journey and possibly establish trade relations.[191] He and Jester promised to protect Braius if he ever needed it, and invited him to stay at the Lavish Chateau, with Fjord adding that the Ruby of the Sea could use some extra muscle.[192] Some time later, the couple received a wooden statuette of a jellyfish from Chetney Pock O'Pea as an engagement gift. The carving reminded them of an event they had experienced on their first sea voyage with the Mighty Nein, leaving Fjord wondering how the old gnome knew about it. As they talked, Fjord shared his plans to help out on the moon and suggested spending some time there with Jester to scout potential wedding locations. He eagerly expressed his excitement about the wedding and told her he wanted Beau to be his best man. To his surprise, she agreed but immediately declared that the rest of the Mighty Nein would be her maids of honor, with the Traveler officiating the ceremony. Fjord tried to protest, but Artagan, who had been listening in, was already on board.[193]
Post-campaign[]
Months after the end of the Era of Reclamation, Fjord and the rest of the Mighty Nein had to deal with the Cult of the Cloaked Serpent in the tunnels beneath Rexxentrum. As they delved deeper, they were confronted by an ethereal-looking naga who was ready to devour them. However, just as it prepared to strike, most of the Mighty Nein suddenly disappeared, leaving only Fjord and Yasha. At first, the duo was worried, but then they drew their swords and prepared to face the naga.[194]
Relationships[]
Beauregard[]
Beauregard and Fjord met a day before the events of "Curious Beginnings" (2x01). Beau instinctively trusted Fjord by the time of "A Show of Scrutiny" (2x02), relying on his instructions in order to act more "manly" for a disguise.[195] Fjord eventually started guiding Beau towards less hostile forms of social interaction, to mixed success.[196] The two joined a meeting of The Knights of Requital together and did not reveal what they witnessed to the other members of the Mighty Nein, though Caleb saw the first meeting they attended through Frumpkin.[197]
Beau thinks that she and Fjord have similar moral perspectives.[198]
After the rest of the party was rescued from the Iron Shepherds, Beau and Caleb assured Fjord that what happened was not his fault but rather Lorenzo's.[199] The two have a great respect for one another's abilities and have formed a close friendship, often going to one another for advice. They have also made an agreement to keep each other in check[200]. Beau put herself forward as Fjord's first mate while at sea,[201] a position she seems to take seriously.
During a conversation on whether to seek out the families of those with connections in the Empire, Beau confided in Fjord about her family's abandonment of her and the birth of her baby brother. Fjord had seemed confused at first as to why she was hesitant to reconnect with her family, but on learning this he accepted her decision. Fjord advised Beau to consider her baby brother's innocence.[202]
While the Mighty Nein were in Zadash on the search for the old hag who had cursed Nott, the group stopped in the Evening Nip for the night. Noticing that Beau was more reserved than usual, Fjord comforted her. In turn, Beau confided that she was struggling with the idea of seeing her dad again. Beau also told Fjord, "You're still my captain."[203]
Fjord was very vocal that he was not okay with the deal Beau wanted to make with Isharnai, as the deal would have meant Beau had to leave her friends and her life at the Cobalt Soul behind.[204] One night, as Fjord came under attack by Uk'otoa's minions while the rest of the crew was in their respective cabins, Beau immediately rushed to his aid instead of staying below deck. However, despite her efforts, she found herself incapacitated, unable to offer much assistance as Fjord fell unconscious from the mast to the deck, prompting her to quickly alert the others.[205]
During a discussion among the members of the Mighty Nein on Rumblecusp about their plans following their separation, Beau turned to Fjord for advice. Expressing her admiration and respect for him, she confessed that a part of her envisioned sailing the seas as Fjord's first mate after the group parted ways, while also pursuing her role as an Expositor in the Cobalt Soul. However, she ultimately chose to remain with the Cobalt Soul in the Empire. In the course of their conversation about Jester, Fjord confided in Beau about his attraction to her. In response, Beau admitted to harboring feelings for Jester as well and offered her advice on how to approach her. Subsequently, Fjord inquired about Yasha, and Beau shared her own feelings regarding her.[206]
After Fjord and Jester shared a kiss, he told Beau about their budding relationship during their shared night watch. Beau mentioned her upcoming date with Yasha. Later, while preparing a trap for Lucien, Fjord privately expressed to Beau that he didn't plan to run if the plan didn't work. They both affirmed their determination not to disappoint the group and to stand their ground and fight until the very end.[207]
Caduceus Clay[]

Fjord and Caduceus are good friends. The two of them initially had little in common, but grew closer as they traveled. Fjord has come to rely on Caduceus's counsel when it comes to making responsible decisions and understanding others' motivations. Fjord and Caduceus have deep trust and respect for each other.
Caduceus has become something of a mentor to Fjord since the latter broke his pact with Uk'otoa, guiding him when he lost all his powers. Fjord even decided to make a pact with the Wildmother, inspired by Caduceus's bond with her. Caduceus considers Fjord to be something of an angsty teen.[208] However, he is very proud of Fjord for not being lured by the power that Uk'otoa seems to promise. Caduceus thinks it is very admirable that Fjord did not lose his sense of self during the Mighty Nein's time at sea.[209]
As the situation with Uk'otoa worsened, Fjord found himself opening up more to Caduceus. Following a particularly unsettling dream that woke him in the middle of the night while Caduceus kept watch, Fjord decided to confide in him. Sharing the details of the dream.[210] After breaking his pact with Uk'otoa, Fjord tossed his sword into the searing lava of the forge, and seeking help, he woke Caduceus, expressing that he found inspiration in him.[211]
After the intense battle beneath Rexxentrum, Caduceus surprised Fjord with a custom sea-themed symbol of the Wildmother, crafted in Kravaraad.[212] Caduceus told Fjord that he loved him like family after Fjord joked about an eye appearing on his cheek in Eiselcross, which was met with an initially earnest response from Caduceus. Realizing that he was joking, Caduceus playfully threatened revenge, drawing on his experience with his siblings.[213]
In the moment before parting ways, Caduceus, choosing to stay with his family in the Blooming Grove, received a hug from Fjord, who expressed gratitude, stating, "I wouldn't be here like this without you." In response, Caduceus stated that Fjord had earned everything he had.[214]
The Wildmother[]
Fan art of Fjord and Melora, by Minttu Hynninen.[art 39]
Fjord first interacted with the Wildmother in a dream he had underneath the Arbor Exemplar. He asked Caduceus soon after about how to see her again and feel the warmth devoid from his previous visions. Caduceus taught Fjord how to meditate and listen closely to the nature surrounding him. After some time, Fjord heard the familiar waves and felt a sense of comfort wash over him.[215]
After seeking guidance from Jester and Caduceus, Fjord asked the Wildmother to take an interest in him. She agreed to give him back his magical capabilities, as long as he became her follower. Fjord accepted the offer, and soon after became a warlock/paladin of Melora. After the events of "Refjorged" (2x76), his warlock abilities were modified to fit the themes of the Wildmother, such as Eldritch Blast being a verdant green color and Hexblade's Curse manifesting as dark and shadowy vines.[216][217]
While meditating aboard the Midnight Hammer on the way to Eiselcross and asking for calm seas, Fjord started seeing visions of distant islands, calm shores, and abyssal depths. The Wildmother then asked Fjord if this is what he wanted to seek out, to become like the waves and explore the unknown. After resoundingly saying yes, she bestowed upon him a sacred oath.[218]
Jester Lavorre[]
Jester have been close friends since the start of the campaign and are now romantically involved. They first crossed paths in Port Damali when Fjord observed Jester employing her magic to play pranks on the locals, a few weeks before encountering the rest of the Mighty Nein. They often reach out to the other to ask how they are doing, and have supported each other through their personal journeys.
Jester expressed concern about Fjord's tusk filing and offered her support for whatever choice he decided to make. Fjord told Jester that he would stop filing his tusks if she wanted him to.[219] From that point onward, Fjord stopped filing his tusks and allowed them to grow. She was the only person in the group who knew about Fjord's original accent and his imitation of Vandran's accent, and she kept this information a secret from the rest of the Nein.[220]
Jester had a crush on Fjord from the start, though at first, it seemed mostly superficial. She initially viewed him through an idealized lens, but as they traveled together, she came to see him for who he truly was, not the romanticized figure she had imagined, but still someone incredible. Fjord, for his part, liked Jester but spent a long time pretending not to notice her flirting. However, after the events with Avantika on Darktow, he had a conversation with Jester and realized how much the situation had hurt her. In that moment, he understood that he might have been overlooking someone truly special. It was then that Fjord fully recognized his feelings for her and started to show them more.[221]
On Rumblecusp, Fjord shared his worries about the Traveler with Jester, revealing a genuine concern for her safety. Fjord admitted to Beau that he wanted Jester to be happy. He felt strongly for her, but understood that her early feelings for him might have been whimsy. He wanted to explore the world, see lands he hadn't seen, and find the things that people were scared of and solve them. He hoped she was a part of that.[222] When Jester clung to the Traveler as he was taken away in chains, Fjord employed Hex and Relentless Hex to grasp onto her, encouraging her to let Artagan go. Despite Artagan eventually forcing them both off, Jester expressed gratitude to Fjord, telling him that she didn't know what she would have done without him.[223]
One night while residing within Widogast's Nascent Nein Sided Tower, Fjord visited Jester at her room. After discussing their plans, Fjord asked if he could kiss her, and when she nodded, he did, further remarking that he had wished to do it earlier, he had simply been too afraid.[224] The two became a couple and have kissed several times.
When Jester contacted Vandran on Fjord's behalf, despite Fjord's request for her not to do so, she admitted her actions the next morning. Although surprised to learn that Jester had scried on Vandran, Fjord interpreted her choice to reach out as a reminder that he had people in his life willing to assist him, strengthening his feelings for her.[225] After the defeat of Lucien, Jester confessed her love to a half-asleep Fjord, not allowing him to respond. Later, Fjord reciprocated, expressing his love for her while extinguishing the flames following Trent's attack.[226] Following the conclusion of their adventure with the Nein, while alone with her watching stars on top of a water tower, Fjord asked her to accompany him out on the sea, a proposal to which she gladly agreed. Furthermore, he floated the idea of getting a shared home in Nicodranas, and her response was enthusiastic, describing it as a wonderful idea.[227]
Sometime after the Mighty Nein went their separate ways, Fjord and Jester bought a small property in Nicodranas below the water tower, giving them a place to stay and some privacy when they were not at sea. Whenever they are in Nicodranas, they climb the water tower to watch the stars together, just like they did on their last visit with the rest of the Mighty Nein. They painted their house and converted a large part of it into a studio for Jester. According to Fjord, it has too much color. However, they don't spend much time there, as most of their time is spent at sea with their new shipping company, Stone's Throw Shipping. Despite Jester's dislike for the name, she is very supportive of Fjord's endeavors. They spend their days at sea saving other ships and stopping pirate attacks. During their voyage, Fjord appointed Jester as his first mate. Jester, trying to make Fjord more confident in front of his crew, warned him that she noticed Kingsley eyeing him and suspected he might attempt a mutiny. When Jester was knocked unconscious by Uk'otoa's minions, Fjord, without hesitation, pulled out the last Cloven Crystal and handed it over to protect her, apologizing as he did so.[228]
Later, when Fjord agreed to a pact with Zehir, the Cloaked Serpent, Jester was worried about him. Seeing Zehir's mark on Fjord's chest, she remained troubled despite his reassurances that everything would be alright, fearing he might now be bound to a Betrayer God.[229]
After defeating Trent Ikithon's demon form in Blumenthal, the pair became engaged.[230]
Caleb Widogast[]
Fjord was initially intrigued by Caleb's wizardry, as he was interested in learning more magic himself.[231] Fjord is allergic to Caleb's (sometimes) cat familiar, Frumpkin.[232]
When the group first set off on the road together the two spoke about whether or not things would work out. Fjord seemed positive and Caleb responded that they would make it work. This became something of a mantra between the two.[233] Caleb thought of Fjord as his closest friend outside of Nott early on in the campaign and considered him to be a great leader.[234]
During "Midnight Espionage" (2x12), they got into an argument over Caleb stealing a spell scroll and potentially exposing the operation. Caleb walked away without the scroll when Fjord held his falchion to Caleb's throat and prepared to cast Eldritch Blast at Nott.[235]
After they helped to rescue Fjord, Jester and Yasha from the Iron Shepherds, Fjord confided to Caleb and Beauregard that he felt responsible for their capture. They both assured him it was not his fault, and Caleb advised him that he should not blame himself for being taken advantage of.[236]
Caleb being part of their rescue party seemed to alleviate some of Fjord's concerns regarding Caleb's dedication to the group. As time went on he came to trust and rely on him, even taking him to one side in "A Pirate's Life for Me" (2x41) and asking him to "exercise quick judgement" and protect the group against Avantika should things go badly. Caleb would later go on to do exactly this, casting Wall of Fire between Avantika and the Nein to give them a chance to get her diary to the Plank King and expose her.[237]
In Dashilla's lair during "The Diver's Grave" (2x44), Fjord pushed to explore what would happen should they drop some blood onto a runic altar, appealing to Caleb's sense of curiosity. After assuring Caleb a favor in return, Caleb cut his palm. The blood was not enough to complete the ritual and Fjord cut his own palm. When this was still not enough they decided not to complete the ritual, and clasped hands to solidify their agreement to continue to help each other in the future. [238]
In "In Love and War" (2x57), Caleb told Fjord that he appreciated him, and referenced their prior discussion on taking risks. He seemed to want to say more but a misunderstanding on Fjord's part ended the discussion early.[239]
Caleb was the first in the party to confront Fjord about his multiple accents, citing concern that there might be something dangerous in his past. Fjord did not want to explain himself, though he did assure Caleb that the group was in no danger, and replied that his current accent was related to being a version of himself that he liked. When Caleb offered to share secrets of his own in return for learning more, Fjord told Caleb if he had his way he would not tell any of the Mighty Nein anything about his past. He asked for Caleb to give him more time until he decided to share his past on his own terms and Caleb agreed.[240]
After throwing his pact blade into the lava in the Kiln and losing his powers, Fjord told the group that he was now powerless, seemingly nervous that they might no longer accept him as he might prove a liability. Caleb reminded him of his many other talents and was the first to offer him an item to help him in his magic-less state, putting the Glove of Blasting on his hand and prompting Jester to hand over the Whip.[241]
In "Dark Waters" (2x98), Caleb finally shared his past with Fjord, explaining that Trent Ikithon made him kill his parents, Una and Leofric. Fjord apologized for almost killing Caleb in the High Richter's house, stating it was his way of controlling the situation. He promised to help Caleb in rooting out the corrupt individuals of the Cerberus Assembly.[242]
After the eyes of the Somnovem appeared on him, Caleb decided it was time to cash in the favor they'd agreed upon at the Diver's Grave. He turned to Fjord, saying that if he were to lose control, Fjord would take him down and protect the others. Fjord affirmed his commitment to keep his promise and expressed confidence that such a dire situation wouldn't arise.[243]
Nott/Veth[]
Nott hoped to steal Fjord's letter of recommendation to the Soltryce Academy for Caleb to use instead. Fjord set a trap after Nott's initial theft attempt, learning of this and Nott's motivated attachment to Caleb when Molly charmed Nott. Afterwards, Nott treated Fjord with hostility.[244]
When Nott was reluctant to accompany the group into the ocean, Fjord teased her with stories about Captain Buttonbeard. Although meant as a friendly jest, he did not realize this was a sensitive topic for Nott, who appeared to be annoyed by it. After learning about Nott's life as Veth and her death by drowning, he apologized for his insensitivity (being particularly understanding, having drowned himself).[245] During their travels to Xhorhas their relationship has developed into one of more reciprocal teasing and banter.[246]
Travis has stated on Talks Machina that he likes to mess with Sam, which has informed the way Fjord interacts with Nott,[247] while Sam has commented that Nott feels she and Fjord are very similar people and is sometimes annoyed by that.[248]
Luc Brenatto[]
Fan art of Luc's reception, by Elaine Tipping.[art 41]
Unlike the dynamic between Fjord and Veth, who often enjoy teasing each other, Luc holds admiration for Fjord. Like the other members of the Mighty Nein, Fjord is an honorary uncle to Luc. During a moment when Luc made his plea to remain with the group for their mission to stop Trent, Fjord expressed support, telling Luc he was rooting for him. Luc saw Fjord as not just cool, but also as a remarkable man capable of achieving great things. In his plea, Luc drew parallels between Fjord and his captain, who inspired him, emphasizing the need for similar guidance in his own journey.[249]
Yasha Nydoorin[]
Fjord and Yasha have been reliable allies, though not close friends. In Rosohna, Fjord loaned Yasha 500 gold to commission a set of enchanted bracers, which she promised to pay back.
After Yasha fell under Obann's domination, Fjord tried and failed to get her out of the King's Cage. She brought him to zero hit points but he used his half-orc Relentless Endurance to bring himself back to consciousness and said, "Why?" Yasha looked at him intently and said, almost disembodied, "I heard you." Fjord was certain after seeing Yasha turn that she had betrayed the Nein, and had been tricking them all along. When fighting Yasha in the Chantry of the Dawn, he cast Enervation on her, draining her health to heal himself. He continued to pull from it even after she was freed from Obann's control, saying he would "cash in on that guilt and regret" as she knelt on the ground before him.
Later, Yasha paid Fjord back the 500 gold she owed him. He said it was not necessary, but she insisted. He took the money saying it made him uncomfortable, so as a thank you, he gave Yasha the Manual of Gainful Exercise that Caleb had given him.[250]
Sabian[]
Fjord and Sabian were both hired by Vandran as crew of the Tide's Breath. Fjord said he had known Sabian for many years, and they grew up together in the orphanage, where Fjord suffered a lot due to Sabian's bullying;[251] he stated Sabian has "always been a piece of shit of one variety or another". In recent years before the Tide's Breath explosion, Fjord believed "that stuff had faded between us", since Sabian mainly ignored him in public,[252] although the half-elf never stopped disliking him.[253]
Mollymauk Tealeaf[]
Molly and Fjord had a friendly relationship, often being roommates at inns. Fjord wanted to learn about Molly's ritual with his swords and asked to join in. He hoped that Molly might have knowledge about magical swords that could be helpful to him as he searched for the meaning of his falchion. Before Molly's amnesia was revealed, Fjord realized Molly was lying about where his swords and his powers came from. For unknown reasons, he decided not to confront Molly or tell anyone else.
The two frequently collaborated in Zadash, particularly in causing a distraction at The Guided Hand Infirmary, and in trapping Nott when she attempted to go through Fjord's things in their shared room at the inn.[254][255]
Before leaving the town of Berleben, Fjord confided in Molly about his concerns about the new eye in the center of his falchion.[256] Molly attempted to charm him in response to get more information, but it failed.[257]
After being rescued from the Iron Shepherds and learning that Molly had died, Fjord was saddened. He felt like the death was partially his fault for not being able to fight back when the Iron Shepherds kidnapped him. He made Molly's sword, Summer's Dance, his pact weapon to honor Molly's memory.[258]
Kingsley Tealeaf[]
When the Mighty Nein returned to Nicodranas, Kingsley discovered that Fjord was the captain of a ship. Eager to pursue his dream of becoming a pirate and to learn from Fjord, Kingsley sought permission to join his crew. Fjord accepted, expressing his delight at having Kingsley aboard. Over six months aboard the Nein Heroez, Fjord acknowledged Kingsley's tremendous help on the ship, even though he was still learning the ropes.[259] Kingsley enjoyed occasionally undermining Fjord's authority, seeking to demonstrate his own leadership among the crew.
Kingsley revealed to Jester that Fjord had shared some basics about his past encounters with Uk'otoa.[260] Fjord disapproved when Kingsley eagerly considered accepting Zehir's pact. Following Fjord's decision to accept the pact himself, telling the others that it was his responsibility, he approached Kingsley to understand his eagerness, emphasizing that his choices between light and darkness matter, since he got a fresh start in his life. Despite this, Fjord entrusted Kingsley with the Fang of the Spire King, a sword received from Zehir, to which Kingsley responded, "Every now and then I like you."[261]
That night, in a conversation with Beau about Molly and Lucien, Kingsley said that Fjord doesn't mention Molly that much and only occasionally talks about the conflict with Lucien in front of him. Beau observed traits of both Fjord and Jester in Kingsley and mentioned that she sees how they influenced him. Kingsley acknowledged that he respects them, even if he doesn't show it, since Fjord and Jester had taught him everything he knows.[262]
After their victory over Uk'otoa, Kingsley continued to serve under Fjord aboard the Nein Heroez for many years, learning everything he could from him. However, following Fjord's decision to entrust him with his own ship, Kingsley departed for Darktow Isle a month later. In his farewell note to Fjord, Kingsley expressed gratitude for everything he had done for him and for everything he had taught him.[263]
Uk'otoa[]
Fjord's Hexblade patron is a mysterious entity. After Fjord defeated a nergaliid and left Trostenwald, the patron came to him in a dream. While falling asleep, the air seemed to transform into a cold, dark ocean. Struggling against the currents, Fjord gasped the cold water into his lungs, and eventually he was able to breathe it. A giant yellow eye appeared, and an entity communicated eight words directly into Fjord's mind: watching, potential, learn, grow, provoke, consume, reward, patience.[265] Upon waking, Fjord coughed out the salty water from his dream[266]. He then gained the ability to summon and dismiss his falchion as a pact weapon.[267]
When Fjord made another weapon into his pact weapon, his falchion eventually absorbed the other weapon's properties. This is apparently what Fjord's patron meant by "consume."[268]
After meeting Captain Avantika, Fjord discovered she was another follower of his patron and learned its identity: a mighty leviathan known as "Uk'otoa".
Fjord claims he does not want to release Uk'otoa nor does he want the kind of power Uk'otoa seems to offer his "chosen". He believes control over the seas is too much power for one person to have. He told the Mighty Nein he did not know who he would be if he had power like that.[269] Fjord seems to be afraid of Uk'otoa and hopeful that the Wildmother may be able to keep the leviathan at bay.[270]
Fjord's relationship with Uk'otoa took a turn for the worse when the group journeyed to Xhorhas without releasing the leviathan. After introducing the word "punish" to the dreams[271], Uk'otoa appeared to somehow limit Fjord's warlock powers following another punishment dream.[272] This limitation seemed to pass by the morning.[273]
In "Clay and Dust" (2x72), Uk'otoa (again displeased with Fjord's procrastination) further tormented and punished the half-orc, taking his powers a second time. However, Fjord resisted and attempted to take command of his pact by placing his Sword of Fathoms slowly deeper and deeper into his own chest, claiming that Uk'otoa needs Fjord more than Fjord needs him. However, all of his attempts were fruitless, and he cast his blade into the lava forge of the Kiln, severing his connection to Uk'otoa.[274]
Fan art of Fjord with a cloven crystal, by Joshua Esmeralda.[art 42]
In "Dark Waters" (2x98), Fjord had a dream in which he tried to summon the Star Razor, but ended up summoning the Sword of Fathoms instead. Fjord and the rest of the Nein then found themselves facing off against multiple agents of Uk'otoa. Later, it was revealed that the agents were sent to retrieve the Cloven Crystal and Fjord in order to break the final seal. In "The Chase Begins" (2x112), the Mighty Nein once again encountered a deep scion, chuuls, and the undead form of Avantika. However, their attempt to retrieve the Cloven Crystal was again unsuccessful and Avantika was killed.[275]
When Lucien asked about Fjord's goal to break free from the sea serpent, he answered by expressing his enjoyment in Uk'otoa's pursuit. He added that his relentless pursuit provides him with a good picture of the leviathan's position. Fjord desires to confront and defeat Uk'otoa on his terms, with the ultimate goal of bringing this chapter of his journey to a close. He is confident that with a few more steps, he will be able to do so.[276]
Once Uk'otoa had been released, Fjord agreed to a pact with Zehir, the Cloaked Serpent, in order to imprison the False Serpent. Fjord was able to track down Uk'otoa by bearing the mark of vengeance from Zehir and utilizing the lingering connection to his former pact master. During the encounter, Uk'otoa was perplexed about why he couldn't strip Fjord of his powers.[277] Uk'otoa exploited their link to take control of Fjord and attack Jester.[278] After they defeated Uk'otoa, Fjord pursued him into the deepest parts of the ocean with the help of Caleb in the shape of a dragon turtle. He was successful in resealing Uk'otoa while also beginning a new cycle by creating three new Cloven Crystals.[279]
Fjord's Dreams/Visions[]
Fjord has had dreams in "The Open Road", "A Favor In Kind", "Dangerous Liaisons" (2x37), "A Pirate's Life for Me" (2x41), "Cornered" (2x53), "Agreements" (2x61), "Chases and Trees" (2x65), "Clay and Dust" (2x72), and "Dark Waters" (2x98). Sometimes he has denied having an unusual dream or lied about the contents of the dreams.[280][281] Some of the dreams have given him physical side effects, such as coughing up salt water[282][283], blood in his mouth[284], nose bleeds, and losing his magical abilities.[285][286]
Fan art of Fjord's dream, by BlackSalander.[art 43]
Fjord has had visions or heard Uk'otoa's voice while awake when in proximity to a Cloven Crystal in "Stalker in the Swamp" (2x21),[287] "Lost Treasures", "The Diver's Grave" and "The Second Seal" (2x47). When near the sea for the first time after over a month in Xhorhas, Fjord heard Uk'otoa's voice in his head say "return" as he stepped into the Teleportation Circle to return to Xhorhas.[288]
Recently, Fjord has received visions from the Wildmother in "Chases and Trees" (2x65), "Refjorged" (2x76), and in "The Chase Begins" (2x112). Unlike his previous dreams where he was surrounded in freezing waters, these visions were warm and inviting. He felt more at peace, instead of being anxious and scared.[289][290][291]
Avantika[]
The relationship between Fjord and Avantika was complicated. Their patron Uk'otoa brought them together, but Avantika tried to maintain constant control over Fjord and the Mighty Nein. She conscripted them into the crew of the Squalleater, eventually forcing Fjord to become her quartermaster.
During the weeks that they knew each other, neither of them wholly trusted the other. However, their mutual desire to hide their true intentions led them to pursue a physical relationship. During this time, Fjord told Avantika he shared her goal of releasing Uk'otoa; but told the Mighty Nein he was just using her for information.[292]
Avantika openly yearned for the power Uk'otoa might grant her when released, while Fjord denied any desire to release Uk'otoa outside of her presence. When Fjord shared new dreams from Uk'otoa, Avantika became jealous due to her belief that Uk'otoa favored Fjord over herself. This fueled the race to claim Uk'otoa's boon in "Dubious Pursuits" (2x40), which she won.[293]
Fjord did not trust Avantika or her long-term plans, even conceding that she probably wanted to kill him. The degree of her fervor for Uk'otoa led the Nein to plot her downfall, culminating in the theft of her journal in "A Hole In the Plan" (2x42). Fjord slept with Avantika to ensure she did not interfere in the plan (though neither Jester nor Nott went through with disguising themselves as her). The following day Fjord was called with the rest of the Mighty Nein to Avantika's ship, where a battle ensued.
After the Plank King arrived with knowledge of her journal and plans, Avantika claimed Fjord had blown up the Tide's Breath, though Fjord had never informed her of Sabian's sabotage. She also claimed that Fjord seduced and manipulated her by using the memory of Vandran against her. Fjord did not seem bothered by her death at the hands of the Plank King.
Fan art of the final confrontation, by Linda Lithén.[art 44]
After her execution, Fjord used her journal to pinpoint the location of the next temple of Uk'otoa, apparently in the jungles of the Menagerie Coast north of Nicodranas.
Avantika reappeared as an undead creature of some kind in "The Chase Begins" (2x112) on the deck of the Midnight Hammer after the ship was attacked by minions of Uk'otoa. Saying "Darling, we have business elsewhere," she attempted to grab Fjord. Fjord fought back but Avantika was able to retrieve the Cloven Crystal and Dimension Door away. She was pursued by the Mighty Nein. In the ensuing fight, Fjord landed the final blow, bisecting Avantika and recovering the Crystal. Her remains were then devoured by a group of orcas.[294]
Vandran[]
Vandran was captain of the Tide's Breath at the time it was sabotaged and sank. Fjord has described him as a mentor and father figure[295], and seemed surprised to learn of his previous connections to Avantika, The Revelry, and Uk'otoa. Seeing that someone had looted Vandran's quarters after the Tide's Breath wrecked seemed to make Fjord angry.[296] Fjord claimed to the Mighty Nein that one of the reasons he appeared to ally with Avantika was to find out what had happened to Vandran.[297]
When the party reached Kravaraad on the quest to reforge Dwueth'var, Fjord cast Minor Illusion to conjure an image of Vandran's face to help Jester contact him via Sending. From this, Fjord learned that Vandran was "retired on an island with good folks",[298] but this only seemed to confirm his own fears that Vandran was not looking for him. Later, Fjord dropped the accent he had used since the rest of the party met him, and adopted thereafter his own, native accent. He explained that Vandran had been a man of great renown and respect, and Fjord had wanted to emulate him, "to be him."[299]
After defeating Lucien and Trent, Fjord, Jester, and Kingsley sailed off to Bisaft Isle to seek out Vandran using the information gathered from Jester's Scry. He eventually found the small driftwood house that Vandran was living out off and convinced him to come aboard the Nein Heroez, so that they could reconnect with each other once more.[300]
Character information[]
Quests[]
Fjord was on his way to the Soltryce Academy in the hopes of learning more magic there and more specifically about his powers.[301]
- In "The Journey Home" (2x30), after being rescued from Lorenzo, Fjord stated that he does not want to go to the Academy anymore.[302]
Fjord wants to find his former crew mate Sabian, who sabotaged the Tide's Breath and caused it to sink. He wants to get answers about why Sabian caused the shipwreck. Depending on the answers he gets, Fjord may want revenge as well. [303]
- Fjord learned from Captain Adella that Sabian was recently working around Nicodranas with a shady merchant named Cadmus Leeland.[304]
- In "Devoutness and Dicks" (2x107),Fjord made a contract with Kotho, formerly known as Terra, to track down Sabian and give him his current location.[305]
- In "The Tortoise and The Dare" (2x117), Jester contacted Kotho who then revealed that Sabian was currently at Darktow Island.
Ever since his vision of his former captain and mentor Vandran absorbing a Cloven Crystal, Fjord has wanted to find Vandran again.[306] He wants to know if Vandran survived the Tide's Breath shipwreck. He was disappointed not to see another vision of Vandran after putting the second Cloven Crystal in place to release Uk'otoa.[307]
- Caduceus Clay confirmed through Divination that Vandran is still alive in "The Second Seal" (2x47).[308] He told Fjord in "Homeward Bound" (2x48).[309]
- In "Clay and Dust" (2x72) Fjord showed Jester an image of Vandran by casting Minor Illusion. Jester cast Sending to tell Vandran Fjord was alive and looking for him. Vandran responded that he was glad to hear Fjord was ok and that he himself was retired on an island. After hearing this, Fjord wondered if he should continue searching for Vandran. If Vandran truly is at peace, Fjord does not want to disrupt that.[310]
- Fjord chose not to send a message to Vandran before the party's perilous journey to Aeor. He held his desire to speak to Vandran as "more reason to come home" and felt confident that he would live to see Vandran afterward. He also reiterated that, should he not be able to see him, he did not wish to disrupt Vandran's peace.[311] Regardless, in "Into the Eye" (2x131), Jester secretly used Scrying and Sending to contact Vandran and collect a message for Fjord. This spurred Fjord's interest in contacting Vandran more immediately, and he instructed Jester to ask Vandran where he was staying. Vandran told Jester that he was on one of the small islands near Bisaft Isle.[312]
- He eventually saw Vandran again in "Fond Farewells" (2x141), and Vandran explained his own past with the Cloven Crystal. Vandran joined Fjord's crew aboard the Nein Heroez for at least short trips so they could catch up further.[313]
Fjord has not said what his intentions are as far as the final seal of his former patron Uk'otoa.
- He raced Avantika to place a Cloven Crystal breaking the first seal on Urukayxl, but she was able to put her crystal in place first.[314]
- Fjord chose to travel to the Gravid Archipelago to place the crystal breaking the second seal of Uk'otoa.[315] After that, however, he showed no interest in pursuing the breaking the third seal,[316] saying to Caleb that he did not mean to pursue it any further, and if he could, would like to find a way out of it.[317]
- When Fjord broke his pact with Uk'otoa by throwing the Sword of Fathoms into the lava at Kravaraad,[318] he believed that the third cloven crystal had been destroyed with it. However, he later discovered it was within him until removed by a Greater Restoration.[319] Caleb took it and put it in his Vault of Amber where they believed it would be safe from detection by Uk'otoa or anyone else.[320] When the rest of the Nein suggested trying to destroy it, possibly in the lava on Rumblecusp, Fjord was non-committal.[321]
- During the events of "The Chase Begins" (2x112) and "A Heart Grown Cold" (2x113), the Cloven Crystal was released from the Vault of Amber by using Dispel Magic and was briefly in Avantika's possession. The Mighty Nein retrieved the crystal after defeating Avantika. It then kept inside Fjord's Bag of Holding for safekeeping.[322][323]
- When the Bag of Holding was stolen by the Lucien in "Fair-weather Faith" (2x123), Fjord lost possession of the Cloven Crystal and repeatedly worried for it. Lucien was aware that he now had possession of it. After Lucien's death in "Long May He Reign" (2x140), Fjord regained possession of the Bag of Holding after Lucien's death and was visibly relieved to confirm the Cloven Crystal was inside.
- Fjord seems generally unsure of his exact plans for the Cloven Crystal afterward. For a while, he carries it with him in his travels aboard the Nein Heroez. He is considering giving it to the Cobalt Soul for safekeeping after he and Jester thoroughly investigate the location of the third temple. Upon being reminded that the Nein Heroez is repeatedly attacked at sea by agents of Uk'otoa in search of the Crystal, he indicates accelerating plans. But, overall, he seemed unsure about that plan of action.[324]

- Sword of Fathoms[359]
- This weapon was not revealed by Caleb's Detect Magic spell[360] because the Falchion in itself was not magical.
- When Fjord invoked Hexblade's Curse against a target, the blade of his falchion transformed from polished metal to a barnacle-covered blade that sourcelessly dripped water as if it had just been pulled from the ocean.[361] The sword disappeared when Fjord established his Pact of the Blade. When he summoned the weapon for the first time, it appeared in its transformed state.[362]
- Absorbed the power of the Waste Hunter Blade and took on some of its physical qualities.[363]

Abilities[]
Unless otherwise noted, the following abilities are assumed from the standard Dungeons & Dragons materials:
Feats[]
Half-orc abilities[]
Paladin abilities[]
- Divine Health
- Divine Sense[405]
- Divine Smite[406]
- Fighting Style (Great Weapon Fighting)[407]
- Lay on Hands (25 points)[408] [409]
- Oath of the Open Sea (Homebrew by Matthew Mercer)[410][411]
- Spellcasting (Charisma-based ability)
- Extra Attack
- Aura of Protection[414]
Warlock abilities[]
Due to Fjord's decision to throw his pact weapon into the lava during "Clay and Dust" (2x72), thus severing his connection to Uk'otoa, Fjord temporarily lost access to his warlock powers. Under his new pact with the Wildmother, established in "Refjorged" (2x76), he regained access to them.[415]
- Eldritch Invocations (6+)
- Otherworldly Patron (Hexblade)
- Accursed Specter[424]
- Armor of Hexes [425]
- Expanded Spell List[426]
- Hexblade's Curse[427]
- When Fjord first invoked the Hexblade's Curse against a target, the blade of his falchion transformed from polished metal to being covered in barnacles which grow down towards the hilt. Additionally, the blade began to sourcelessly drip water as if it had just been pulled out of the ocean. Since Fjord made the falchion his pact weapon (a pact feature he chose and acquired at level 3), these changes appear to have become permanent.
- Possibly due to the iceflex used in reforging his new pact weapon Dwueth'var, the sword now creates frost on the ground.
- Hex Warrior[428]
- Master of Hexes[429]
- Pact Boon: Pact of the Blade[430]
- Rather than creating a new weapon or performing a ritual on an existing weapon[431], Fjord's mysterious falchion disappeared during a dream in which he met his patron.[432] Upon waking, he was able to summon the falchion as a pact weapon.[433] It absorbed weapons he performed rituals on.[434] Matt has mentioned that a weapon absorbed by the falchion changes its damage die to that of a falchion, a reskinned longsword.[435]
- After throwing his falchion into the lava pit in Kravaraad, his new pact weapon has been Star Razor (Dwueth'var) instead of the Sword of Fathoms.
- When it reached its full potential in its exalted state, Dwueth'var became a +1 longsword (+3 when glowing),[436][437] with the ability to cast three spells, each once per day. A bonus action can be used to light the sword up using the command word "galas'var", producing a glow like blue torchlight in a 40-foot radius.[438][439] Any creature that hits the wielder while the sword is glowing takes 1d12 radiant damage.[440][441] When hit with a melee attack, the holder can use their reaction to teleport half their movement speed in any direction they choose.[442] The sword's charges can be expended to cast the following spells once per day each:[443]
- Pact Magic (Charisma-based spellcasting)
- Mystic Arcanum:
- Arcane Gate; as an 11th level warlock, he gained access to a single 6th level spell from the warlock spell list, which he can cast once per long rest, without expending a spell slot (pact magic or regular)[447]
- Crown of Stars; as a 13th level warlock, he gained access to a single 7th level spell from the warlock spell list, which he can cast once per long rest, without expending a spell slot (pact magic or regular)[448]

Spells[]
Warlock spells[]
As a 14th-level warlock, Fjord knows four cantrips and twelve spells. He only has three 5th-level spell slots for those twelve spells, but he regains his spell slots on a short rest.[449] He can replace the spells he knows when he gains a level, so he no longer knows all of these spells. He also has one 6th level and one 7th level spell slot that he can use as a Warlock as part of the Mystic Arcanum feature. Moreover, even after gaining paladin levels, he seems to be able to still swap and use new warlock spells.

From the Eyes of Nine[]
During the Nein's fight with a mutated Cree, Fjord was exposed to the "Pattern" of the Somnovem.[486] Over time, he ended up with unnatural boons bestowed by the red eyes. These abilities disappeared with the eyes after Lucien's final defeat.
- First eye: Mild telepathy with others bearing eyes (120 feet) - unused

Quotations[]
- "We need to drop this fucker and get the hell out of Dodge." (Fjord after attacking the zombie in the second battle)[487]
- "Is that single horse a, uh...a mustang?" (how Fjord met Shelby the Mustang)[488]
- "We are either a team, or you are working for yourselves. Decide." (said to Caleb and Nott after Caleb is caught stealing from the High Richter's home)[489]
- "They call me eagle eye Fjord where I come from. [cawing] Crow Fjord, maybe raven, you don't know." (Fjord claiming to the party that he has keen vision)[490]
- "I would say something about that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but I feel pretty fucking weak right now." (Fjord to the Mighty Nein after the group fought a dragon)[491]
- Fjord: I betcha, crackfire, slopdolly.
Nott: What?![492] - Travis (describing Fjord leaving Avantika's quarters): "I turn around and I head towards the door and as I get there, I look back." (pauses) "And I walk away!"[493]
- (Callback to Vax'ildan frequently walking away from emotional moments in Campaign One.)
- "Magic's new to me; this sword is new to me. I didn't have most of this all of my life. All I had was my words to get out of situations, to try and heal conflict, to try and outsmart somebody. And now all of a sudden, I have this power; and I feel like it's a shortcut and I've been cheating myself. I don't feel like I've put forth the same effort to resolve something because I can just will something into happening. That doesn't seem right to me."[494]
- Beau: "I can understand taking the easy way out with the power you have. It's what I've done my whole life. I just don't know anything else though."
Fjord: "I get that. Maybe we try not to do that. I check you-"
Beau and Fjord together: "-you check me."
Fjord: "We check the group."[495] - Fjord: (to the blue dragon in Halas's manor) "I have recently been putting my hands where they don't belong. And this time, it sent me to you."
Blue Dragon: "And what have we learned?"
Fjord: "Probably to look and not touch."[496] - Fjord: (to their neighbor, Lord Biylan) "I think that's how trees work."[497]
- Fjord: "Fuckin' seaweed wraps are the shit!" [498]
- Fjord: (to Obann) "It's time to vrock!" [499]
- Fjord: "Wildmother, shine your light!" (said while fighting Obann in the Chantry of the Dawn)[500]
- Fjord: "That's very cool. I do love the ocean." (said while meditating in Rexxentrum)[501]
- Fjord: "You need me more than I need you. Give it back." (Fjord trying to intimidate Uk'otoa)[502]
- Fjord: (to Caduceus and Caleb) "I think I'm becoming comfortable with the idea of failing with you. Makes it a little less lonely."[503]
- Fjord: "Listen you fucking jungle! I'm a paladin of the Wildmother. You're going to move or we're going to bust you wide open! We'll wreck this place. Don't make me fucking tell you twice!" (Fjord unsuccessfully trying to intimidate a jungle) [504]
- Caduceus: "Do you feel that nature is honest, or do you feel that nature can lie?"
Fjord: "I think it can certainly be deceiving—natural camouflage, colors, poisons, deterrents, and all sorts of things. But it's also unyielding; it doesn't change for anyone."
Caduceus: "I never really thought of it that way."[505] - Fjord: "And you care about people you know, about people you don't know. You cause chaos but in the end, you don't want to hurt people." (Fjord to Jester)[506]
- Fjord: "I have to be honest. Also, I don't really care about two hundred other people. I do care about you." (Fjord to Jester)[507]
- Fjord: (to Jester) "One last thing."
Jester: "Yeah?"
Fjord: "You can tell us if something happens when you speak with the Traveler. Last time, it seemed like you carried it for a long time. You can...you can tell me. I'll listen." - Fjord: (to Beauregard) "You know when someone makes you feel a way that you don't think you have any right to feel or you never thought that you might?"
Beau: "Yeah"
Fjord: "And that seems off because I should know who I am. I should know how I feel or what I want, but there's a gravity around Jester, at least to me. And she's the one I've known the longest in this new part of my life. And I really thought that when this started, there would be an end for me in this and I would get even, or retribution or payback and then I would be....done. And it hasn't been that way at all. It shriveled and died and in its place, seven new interests sprouted..."[508] - Fjord: (to Jester) "Can I kiss you?"
- Fjord: (to Lucien) "Are you sure you don't want to hang a tie on the door? We could order some fruit snacks and have a lot of fun! We could get freakay!"[509]
- Essek Thelyss: "I spent my entire life studying the intent to not let things like this happen to chance...That can't be it, can it."
Fjord: "I don't know. But if you were to ask my wise friend, Caduceus, I'm sure he would tell you that life continues on. It changes, it evolves, and it grows. I don't think there's an end. You just might not be able to see the next trip. But you have more time. You have more time to study. You have a talent that I don't understand. Use that anger, that frustration. Let it fuel you. If you have any regret or grief over what you've done in your life, I see nothing but good, and nothing but an opportunity for you to turn it around. You've shown me all I need to see." [510] - Fjord: (to Uk'otoa) "These were never your oceans, pretender; they belong to her."[511]
Trivia[]
- Travis explained that he created the character of Fjord from an object that caught his attention, in this case forearm bracer greaves.[512]
- Due to his status as a hexblade warlock and his thick Texan accent, many Critters have given the nickname "Texblade" to Fjord.[513][514]
- A fjord is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created by a glacier.
- Etymologically, it is related to the Norse verb ferd ("traveling" or "ferrying") and the Norse noun fjǫrðr, meaning a "lake-like" water body used for passage and ferrying.
- Though the pronunciation of his name differs from that of "fjord", the pronunciation can refer to a type of water crossing. A ford is a portion of a river or stream shallow and stable enough to cross by wading on foot, riding a horse, or directing a vehicle through the water. "Ford" is etymologically related to "fjord"; both derive from a Proto-Indo-European word meaning "crossing".
- Throughout Campaign 2, several jokes have been made that compare Fjord's name to that of the Ford Motor Company. For example:
- Fjord found a mustang and named it Shelby,[515] a reference to the Shelby Mustang, which is a high-performance variant of the Ford Mustang.
- When Fjord stated that he did not have a surname, Sam joked that it was "Tough"—which would make his name "Fjord Tough", a pun on the Ford Motor Company slogan.[516]
- When Nott agreed to scout ahead with Fjord, she declared that she would join the Fjord expedition.
- When the Nein reach level 15, documented in the video "The Mighty Nein Roll Hit Points for Level 15", a note added in post-production points out Fjord took the Tough feat to explain his hit point total jump, then jokes "He is literally built Fjord Tough" complete with a circular logo similar to the Fjord Motor Company logo.
- Sam Riegel jokes in "The Journey Home" (2x30) that Fjord's middle name is Bronco, an SUV. Sam jokes "That's canon now."
- Fjord has the lowest Dexterity (11) and the lowest Wisdom (7) of all of the Mighty Nein, including Frumpkin. This also ties with Scanlan Shorthalt for the second lowest Wisdom score of any player character after Tiberius Stormwind.
- However, Fjord has the highest Charisma of all of the Mighty Nein (20) and is tied for having the highest Constitution (18) with Beau and Jester (when the latter has her Ioun stone attuned).
- Fjord has the highest hit point total of the Mighty Nein, with 192 at level 16, 205 at level 17 and 240 at level 20 in the post-campaign specials, making two campaigns in a row where Travis' character has the highest number of hit points in the party at campaign's end.
- Fjord also has a higher hit point total than all of level 20 Vox Machina, as well as their high level guest players and one-shot player characters, except Grog (277).
- Travis made the first roll of the campaign, rolling a natural 20.[517]
- Fjord is allergic to cats, as is Travis.[518]
- His main "hobby" is watching and imitating people's habits, most likely to improve his disguise self (Mask of Many Faces) and deception.
- Travis has joked about Fjord being a bottom on Talks Machina (due to the manner in which he first consumed a pact weapon) after talking about Fjord being submissive and acting submissively towards "higher powers."[519]
- According to Jester, Fjord is really good at making chili.[520]
- Travis has claimed on multiple occasions that Fjord is Lawful Good, though the other players do not believe him.[521] Many of Fjord's actions, such as creating a specter[522] and summoning a demon,[523] are traditionally considered inconsistent with the ideals of a Lawful Good character, but it is not ironclad that these actions are disqualifying from the alignment. Lawful Good characters are described in the Player's Handbook as "can be counted on to do the right thing as expected by society".
- Fjord's eyes bear a great similarity to those of Uk'otoa. This is most noticeable in the animated intro commissioned by the cast, where Fjord's eyes look almost identical to Uk'otoa's from a moment earlier.
Fjord casting Disguise Self, by Selina Espiritu and Diana Sousa from The Mighty Nein Origins: Fjord Stone.[art 50]
- While testing the Disguise Self spell for the first time, Fjord took on the appearance of a man with a hummingbird brooch that looked like a younger version of Shakäste.[524]
- Several parallels can be made between Fjord and Percy. Each of them has a particularly antagonistic relationship with a female NPC (in this case, Avantika and Anna Ripley respectively); they both forged pacts with unseen higher forces (again, Uk'otoa and Orthax respectively). Additionally, each wields an enchanted weapon (either provided or influenced) by those higher forces: Sword of Fathoms and The List; Uk'otoa seems to have a dark and nefarious agenda just as Orthax did, and both appear to have their pact severed when their pact weapon is dropped into a pool of highly destructive liquid.
- In a video from Jason Charles Miller for "Dalen's Closet" (Sx47), an in-character Garthok wished Vex and Percival a happy marriage with kids in the future, before revealing he and his wife had just had a boy and are leaning towards naming him Fjord.[525]
- Although this was likely a joke and a nod to the half-orc character in Campaign Two, the identity of Fjord's parents has been an actual source of speculation among the fans. Travis Willingham stated that his character's ancestry could potentially be explored in future projects involving the Mighty Nein (such as oneshots, miniseries, and even their eventual animated show).[526]
- Fjord is the first character in Campaign 2 to multiclass, and the second overall to do so as a Paladin (after Vax'ildan).
- Even though his AC of 17 is only possible with a shield (14 of armor, +2 shield, +1 Cloak of Protection), he is rarely seen or depicted actually using it. This does not conflict with his spellcasting, as he has the Warcaster feat. After reaching second level of Paladin and taking the Great Weapon Fighting fighting style, he should no longer be able to reroll ones and twos on the damage die, as he is never wielding the Star Razor with both hands, with one of his hands always being occupied with his shield.
- Fjord holds the record for highest damage in a single turn targeting only one creature at a time in Campaign 2, set in "Malice and Mystery Below" (2x119). Travis stated the total to be 113 points, but he individually announced the totals for each hit to be 75 and 43 points, actually totaling 118 points. Either number is a Campaign 2 record.[527]
- Fjord's second Mighty Nein playlist hinted at feelings for Jester in the description for the song "Blue Healer", which reads: "I never thought I would feel this. And despite my stubbornness, you've worn me down – and I hope for more."
- Fjord has mentioned that his favorite color is blue.[528]
- Fjord is an expert in accents. He accurately mimicked Vandran's accent until reverting to his original accent in "Clay and Dust" (2x72), and was able to tell that two mysterious figures (later revealed to be Astrid and Eadwulf) were putting on fake Marquesian accents in "Cat and Mouse" (2x128).[529]
- Travis discussed with Matt the idea of Fjord abandoning the Mighty Nein the first time he lost his powers, considering the possibility of him returning to the third temple and placing the last Cloven Crystal to release Uk'otoa. However, when his powers quickly returned, he began to consider a backup plan in case it happened again.[530]
- In 843 PD, Fjord mentioned that they had just bought three more ships in addition to the Nein Heroez: The Wayward Accent, the Rumblecusp Express, and the Sapphire of the Sea.[531]
