Svena the female Nord Cold Warrior
or Svenk, a male Nord Cold Warrior
Svena, "The Cold Warrior", is a stunning Nord knight, with high ranks in Heavy Armor, Destruction, and One-Handed. In combat, Svena wears a Frost Cloak and surrounds herself with Walls of Frost to damage and slow any enemy that comes near, using her One-Handed weapon to finish them off. Expert level Restoration magic keeps Svena going in longer battles.
