many of the norse "gods" were based on the older Greek Myths :p would have felt wrong to call it "Thor's Hammer" anyway :p
It's Roman mythology that cribbed off of Greek mythos (which makes much more sense if you think about the geography of Europe/Middle East/Africa and where those religions originated).

I remember some time ago. Asatro was the name coined for the old religion purportedly speaking.

In terms of raw destructive power, MC's D gonna be putting a lot of women into early retirement that's for sure :HideThePain:
It's unbelievable how good the cameras were at that time. And at the same time, they didn't even know how to sew decent men's clothes.

Never said that, he always said that would be the point when we reach half of the game, nothing else.

That just people who loved to think they were right and say Nana will be the last and it would be the endgame, but eh, people are dumb.:ROFLMAO:
I mean, i remember my 2 years time in his discord server and it was said there that even Amy would be before Nana. But eh who cares we got Nana

Not true. The Norse pantheon has been around since at least 2000 BCE, originating in North Germania and Scandinavia. My ancestors didn't interact with ancient Greece, so the Aesir were not "based" on the Greek myths.

Both Norse and Greek mythology and religions have some connection to a belief system millenia before with the Proto-Indo-European peoples, but the two civilizations didn't have significant contact until the Byzantine Empire, starting in 395 CE. Considering that Ancient Greece fell to the Romans in 146 BCE, and it would be hundreds of years later before the Vikings expanded their exploration and raiding to that area (eventually becoming guards for the Byzantine leaders), the old Norse religion had already been established for centuries at that point.

In any case, Zeus, Mjolnir, or whatever you want to call the MC's D, does fit a theme of being destructive. :sneaky: So pick what works best for you ;)
So what records do we have of the Norse Gods from as far back as 2000 BCE? AFAIK the first written records of Norse mythology don't appear till around 1250 CE.
