This is part 2 of our 10-part anniversary series. This time, we’re exploring four times when Arendelle was subject to floods! 🌊

The Sankershus Flood

Featured in: The Shifting Shores of Sankershus (by Georgia Ball, 2016)

Heavy rains have plagued the village of Sankershus for months, causing the Skiftende River to swell and the hillsides to become unstable. Family man Klaus decides to travel to Arendelle to seek help from the royals. In the capital, preparations for Midsummer ‘s Day are under way. Klaus asks Elsa and Anna to come with him to Sankershus and assess the situation. Elsa declares that the village needs to be relocated ASAP because it’s not safe anymore. The villagers are given temporary residences in Arendelle. As the sisters help Klaus and his family gather their final belongings, they are almost caught off guard by the rising waters. Luckily, they have a queen with magic on their side.

This story was the origin of the name “Sankershus”, nowadays known from its second incarnation in the “Forces of Nature” podcast where instead of being an Arendellian village it is an independent island kingdom. 🌊

The River Flood

Featured in: Flood Danger (by Tea Orsi, unknown year)

When returning home from a mountain hike, Anna, Elsa and Co. are surprised by a rainstorm and seek shelter at a small farmhouse. Inside, they find the farmer couple who are preparing to abandon their property. They fear the river will soon flood both their fields and their house.

Luckily, Elsa knows how to save the day!

The Great Arendelle Flood

Featured in: True Treasure (by Joe Caramagna, 2019) Approximately 20 years (give or take) before Frozen, parts of Arendelle were hit by an event that became known as the “Great Arendelle Flood” which supposedly left a lot of citizens homeless. As explained by a couple of locals, Agnarr and Iduna kindly offered to house some of the homeless people in the castle until their homes could be rebuilt. This very much mirrors the (chronologically) later events of the Sankershus Flood when the families from the doomed village were also allowed to stay in the capital. The inclusion of a “great flood” in this story (released in November 2019) was possibly meant to foreshadow the events of Frozen II.

The Frozen II Tidal Wave

Needs no explanation, really. But it makes you wonder what went through King Runeard’s head when he decided to construct a dam in a location that would put Arendelle in grave danger should it ever fail…
