Sedna was once a beautiful but fiercely independent young woman who lived with her widowed father near the icy coast. Many skilled hunters sought her hand in marriage, promising stability and food, but Sedna refused them all. Her bond with her father and fear of an uncertain future kept her rooted to home. One day, however, a mysterious stranger arrived wearing dark furs and hiding his face. He promised Sedna a life of abundance, soft fur bedding, and endless food on a distant island. Drawn in by his words, she agreed to leave with him, believing she was choosing security.
