Description
Swedenborg has an air of celestial clarity and, through a woodsman’s power, can detect celestial auras in hell. Swedenborg contracted, as a second commitment, to seek the souls of warriors, tired of it, and was condemned to exile until finding an axe able to kill a primordial serpent. Swedenborg supposedly came from a kingdom.
