Rise of the Freya Family
Taking power for yourself
Shifts of power and the comings and goings of different families are very common in the world of adventurers where the strong rule and the weak pull the strong down at any and every opportunity. In the current timeline Danmachi series, the Freya family is considered the strongest. Not just for their combat-oriented adventurers, but for their strategy and tactics and the sheer influence and power of their gods.
Previously, the Zeus and Hestia families ruled Orario most strongly; However, they were wiped out when they came into contact with the One-Eyed Black Dragon. At their weakest, the Freya and Loki families conspired to expel their gods from Orario, taking the strongest title for themselves.
What sets Freya Familia apart?
The loyalty of their members and the ingenuity of their goddess
While the Freya family became the strongest in present-day Orario by taking power for themselves, doing so was not easy. The process required them to be strong and prepared enough, and most of all, the smarts and wisdom of their goddess-Freya. As a goddess, Freya is very intelligent and extremely obsessive about what she wants. Her appetite for talented adventurers knows no bounds, and she'll do anything to get them. As seen with Bell Crennel, for a talented adventurer who has caught Freya's eye, the goddess can attract all of Orario to get that one person. Moreover, she is not above wiping out entire families to claim a single person, as is seen with the Ishtar family. Of course, Freya's intelligence and thinking about what she wants has brought her and her family so far. Her ambition knows no bounds, and few can match her cleverness.
Besides Freya's cleverness, the intense loyalty she has among her members can be overwhelming. Although Freya is constantly on the lookout for 'new toys', her family members always tempt her, helping even when their goddess orders them to. The family members may not all be on the same page, but their unwavering loyalty to Freya has kept the family strong over the years.
Key members of the Freya Familia
Force sufficient for destruction
While Freya is incredibly powerful and witty, a family includes more than just a god. Many talented adventurers in their family directly influence the overall power of the family, as the gods are prevented from taking direct action and influencing events with their abilities. For this, their members are essential, and Freya has done a good job gathering powerful adventurers.
As a powerful, beautiful, and influential goddess, Freya is always on the lookout for powerful adventurers, but adventurers drawn by her beauty and charms also come to join her family. Devoting themselves to their goddess, these members do their best to raise their level and abilities as quickly as possible so that they can be noticed by Freya. Some prominent members of the Freya family include Captain Otar, a current level 7 adventurer in all of Orario. Vice Captain Alain Fromel, the dark elf Hogni Ragnar, and the elf Hedin Seland, are all level 6 adventurers. Along with countless other level 5 and 4 adventurers, the Freya family boasts an incredible military might.
Change after the Great Faction War
The current Freya family
Freya's obsession with Bell Crennel has always been prominent in the series; However, after the Goddess of Abundance Arc, Freya decides to give up everything to claim the Bell. His actions eventually led to a massive factional war between the Freya and Hestia families, and the war had consequences that few initially imagined. During the Great Faction War, it was revealed that Freya's family had around 5000 members, with around 150 members set to participate in the war. Of the 5000 members, most of them were non-combatants, as the family needed more than warriors to survive. However, about 50 of Freya's family members were second-rate adventurers. It was a fighting force that rivaled more than 10 middle class families. Interestingly, the Freya family lost the war against the Hestia family, and they were forced to disband.
This reduced their family from being the strongest in Orario to non-existent. After their loss and dissolution, Freya was ideally sent back to heaven; However, while retaining her Syr Flova identity, she succeeded in becoming a subordinate deity to Hestia, who overthrew her as the family deity. The loss of Freya and the disintegration of her family came as a surprise to many, but Freya was to pay a price for her actions. With this, the Loki family became the strongest in Orario, and the Hestia family gained traction. All using the Freya family as a stepping stone, just as Zeus and Hera drove the families from Orario.
