Gunnlod was the daughter of Suttung, famed far and wide even as a young maiden for the loveliness of her voice. She could sing with such power and passion that her listeners felt moved to tears by sad ballads, or laughed heartily at jesting tunes, or longed to commit brave deeds when she sang heroic songs of days past. Those passing near the windows of Suttung's great house often paused, smiling, to listen as her songs came to them from inside the walls of her home. However, Suttung's daughter herself was seldom seen.
