ninja_lord666 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Odin is an ambivalent deity. Old Norse (Viking Age) connotations of Odin lie with "poetry, inspiration" as well as with "fury, madness." Odin sacrificed one of his eyes at Mímir's spring in order to gain the wisdom of the ages. Odin gives to worthy poets the mead of inspiration, made by the dwarves, from the vessel Óð-rœrir. Odin is associated with the concept of the Wild Hunt, a noisy, bellowing movement across the sky, leading a host of slain warriors. Consistent with this, Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda depicts Odin as welcoming the great dead warriors who have died in battle into his hall, Valhalla, which when literally interpreted, signifies the hall of the slain. These fallen, the einherjar, are assembled and entertained by Odin in order that they in return might fight for and support the gods in the final battle of the end of Earth, Ragnarök. He is also a god of war, appearing throughout Norse myth as the bringer of victory. In the Norse sagas, Odin sometimes acts as the instigator of wars, and is said to have been able to start wars by simply throwing down his javelin Gungnir, and/or sending his valkyries, to influence the battle toward the end that he desires. Valkyries are Odin's beautiful battle maidens that went out to the fields of war to select and collect the worthy men who died in battle to come and sit at Odin's table in Valhalla, feasting and battling until they had to fight in the final battle, Ragnarök. Odin would also appear on the battle-field, sitting upon the leader of the Norse as two ravens on each shoulder, Hungin (Thought) And Munin (Memory), and two wolves on each side. Odin is also a shape-changer, able to alter his skin and form in any way he liked. He is said to travel Earth as an old man with a staff, one-eyed, grey-bearded, and wearing a wide-brimmed hat, with a blue traveling coat. Odin is said to be a healer, hinting at shamanistic origins, as he is god of magic and prophecy, common practices in cultures in which shamans are prominent. Do your research next time. Odin is not the god of death and chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus Wolfe Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 and let us not forget Thor!Thor is the mightiest of all the gods, save Odin. (1000000 hitpoints, limitless fatigue) He wields a magical hammer (Mjolinor, 1190 damage) that causes lightning wherever he strikes (1000 shock damage). He has dwarf forged armor, and not just dwemer, nord dwarf armor! (armor twice the protection of daedric) He rides across the sky in a cart pulled by 2 goats, which he can kill and eat. If he buries their bones, they will come alive the next day! (good luck making that). Fortunately for humans, he likes people and bashes in the skulls of giants instead. Now Loki....he is one bad dude. He is not as strong as Thor, but he has great magical (limitless magicka, spells that do 500-1900 damage) and shape-shifting abilites. He always thwarts the intentions of Thor and Odin, which got him in big trouble. You'll find him in hell, with a snake dripping poison on an open wound. He will remain there until Ragnarock, the end of the world. Which brings me to another idea...I think nords should refer to the oblivion gates as a sign of Ragnarock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
