Magni Farsight is the Warden of the local watch-tower, who has been driven from his post by invading forces. Someone with greater courage and skill in battle will have to retake the tower and light the signal fire.
Before you interact with Magni for any quests, he says “Be wary! There is great mischief afoot.”
Magni also gives your wizard the quest “Along the Watchtower” which is a reference to the 1967 song written by Bob Dylan and recorded by Jimi Hendrix
In Norse mythology, Móði; (anglicized Módi or Mothi) and Magni are the sons of Thor. Their names translate to “Wrath” and “Mighty,” respectively. Rudolf Simek states that, along with Thor’s daughter Þrúðr (“Strength”), they embody their father’s features.
Magni is the son of Thor and the giantess Jötunn Járnsaxa.
