Help on Scandinavian myths

Snarky - meant no offense and am sorry if any was taken.

Redwall - quite right. That's what I think about the story myself

Isegrim - Wow! You seem to know really much about these. I already thought about adding the subquest for the glove, but I'll have to just call it the Glove, because I did not find the name anywhere. You've already been very helpful and I'm surely going to PM you.

I'm sure you knew about this one already, but decided to add some things

"Megingjardir, Megingiord, Megingarder- The magic belt/girdle of Thor. When worn, it doubled his already tremendous strength"
-----
"After Thors death the hammer was returned to the temple of meridia by thors sons. Where it still resides today this is why when the thunder plain calls to Miolnir the earth tremble beneath your feet . Thors belt and glove have not been found at this time but it is thought that they may be hidden in the temple somewhere."

And also something amusing. These gods should've been in sitcoms!

"Sif, in Norse mythology, the wife of the thunder god, Thor. Sif was a giantess, goddess of grain and fertility, and one of the Asynjur. She was the mother of Ull, god of archery, skiing, and single combat. Sif was Thor's second wife, and Ull was his stepson. Sif's golden hair, which symbolized her connection to the fertility of the land and the harvest of grain, was often praised. She was known to be very vain about its beauty. According to legend, Loki, the mischievous trickster fire god, cut off Sif's hair while she slept (in one version, he burns it off). Thor was so angry that he forced Loki to replace Sif's hair with a wig, crafted by the dwarfs and made of the finest strands of gold."

oh that Loki!

I did not find anyt other information about the glove except for that it is said to be an iron gauntlet.

another funny stopry 'bout Loki:
Once, violent death was prophesied to Baldur, one of the Aesir. The other Aesir were shocked (immortal as they were) and decided to take an oath from every being not to harm Baldur. After some time, the only thing left unbound by oath was the mistletoe. Loki, disguised as a hag advised the Aesir not to care about such a minor plant.
The Aesir then began to try out if the oaths were kept and started to beat Baldur with various things, but he remained unharmed.
Höd, Baldur's brother was sad, because he was blind and the other gods didn't let him participate in the considerable fun they had.
Loki however gave him a mistletoe spear, Höd unsuspectingly threw it and killed Baldur!

That's the most funny norse myth IMO, because the Aesir are shown as a bunch of silly, childish bullies and braggards only interested in beating each other up and sharing a mug of mead afterwards...

Arf. Thor died? Dosn't that mean ragnorok has Happened?

[MrColossal]

from what I remember when I was studying this Ragnorok has happened and lots of gods have died.. but not really.. but they did...

So I was confused and gave up.

I always liked the idea of Odin sacrificing himself to himself. That and the god who had to put his arm in Fenrir's mouth as a show of good faith while they bound Fenrir in ribbon.

One of the funniest is when a giant Thrym steals Thor's hammer, buries it in the ground and claims he won't return it unless he is married to Freya. Thor and Loki travel to Thrym, both disguised, Thor as Freya and Loki as her female companion. They reach Thrym's house and have a feast. While Thor puts huge amounts of food intio his mouth and drinks a lot from a gigantic horn, Loki explains to Thrym, that Freya was so excited about getting married and so tired after long journey that she had to eat and drink a lot. Then Thor retrieves his hammer and kills Thrym.
