      Now that you mention it, a two handed war hammer does make sense. I mean the head of Mjolnir does seem pretty massive. Well stormbreaker fixed that issue. Also the iron gauntlets, belt and staff Gríðarvölr compensate for that loss. Just slap flex tape onto both Gríðarvölr and mjolnir and you get a two handed warhammer.

      Freya was Odin's favorite concubine who grew to become his primary wife after Fryga fell out of favor when she cheated on Odin with his brothers.
      The issue is Freya couldn't keep her legs shut, she slept with dwarves, the Aesir, the Vanir, (her brother and father) and all manner of creatures.
      Loki hated her for this and tried to break Odin's infatuation with her because she was humiliating him and destroying his manhood, a big deal in Norse culture, this is why Loki constantly tried to sell her off to Frost Giants and ultimately why he killed Baldur (who could've been anyone's kid really)
      Loki's schemes to get rid of Freya were what drove a wedge between him and Asgard, a grudge that ultimately led to Ragnarok.

      The valkyrie, shield maidens, vulva, segri are Vanïr. Her and Freyr are the leader's, Njörðr is the god of the Vanïr.
      The Vanïr kicked the ever loving shit out of the Æsir until Týr stepped in and a truce was worked out.
      Ragnarök is from the destiny of Løki, his children lead to Ragnarök. The world serpant possibly finishes the job. All depending if Wödan and Baldr are correct.

      1. The "murder" is ironically the thing that led to baldur surviving ragnarok
      2. The most involved in ragnarok are loki's kids 1. The world serpent 2. His Daughter and Queen of the dead, Hel and 3. The Fenris wolf (which eats Odin)
      But the only reason why they are even in the place to be able to do their parts in ragnarok is because of Odin, not Loki. Odin had, the Fenris Wolf chained (which is why it is so angry at him), Hel dumped into the underworld (as a toddler btw) and the world serpent was only able to grow as big as it needed to be because Odin had him dumped and sealed into the world's oceans

    Like, he HATES what happened to him THAT much. And seeing as that horse used him like a hole in the wall, I can't say that I blame him, and I feel pretty bad for him.
    And no one was crazy enough to talk about it. Not Baldr, not Heimdall, not Odin, not Freyr or Freyja, not Bragi, not Frigg; nobody.

    This was awesome, but my only thing that would've made it better was if you made the scores a little more even or favoring Loki before Mjolnir. Like Odin likes the rings, but thinks Gungnir was better and the ring gets a slightly lower score than Gungnir, then for Frey have the boar and Ship be liked the same so they get around the same score, making Loki over confident especially when he thinks the last gift is ruined, it would make the glass shattering sound and his lose alot more impactful and entertaining.
    I don't know if that was just part of the mythology, the spear Gungnir seems to be referenced more than the rings from what I've seen, or it was just to show how dumb loki was with this idea. Just a minor thing, still great stuff.

    Wasn't the reason Loki "ruined the situation for himself" the fact that dwarfs didn't want to just do stuff for him for free.
    He kinda tricked them into making gifts for gods by saying "I bet those other lads over there are gona totally impress everyone with their great works and be named the best craftsmen in all the realms. Such a bummer they don't have any competition... yet".
    It's just that Brokk and Eitri figured out that some shenanigans is happening and so forced Loki to bet his head that the other team can best them. At least that's the version I remember reading.

My only questions are one, where the heck the Norse dudes got this stuff from and thought it was believable as a religion and two, how the heck anyone believed this stuff.
