Jotunheim isn't quite North America, at least how I read Darby's comment here (redd.it/l531fi). Odin doesn't promise Ivaldi's freedom, as players can also keep him captive.

Darby only discarted the Atlantic Ocean possibility. Vinland is in North America and there, you find the Grand Temple. So, in Jotunheim's arc, Odin enters ''Suttungr's Vault'', that is the Grand Temple but covered by Eivor's beliefs. Besides, if you compare the maps of Jotunheim and Vinland, they are quite similar.

===Protecting Asgard===
At some time before the [[Great Catastrophe]], Odin was warned by the [[Nornir]] that the [[calculations]] predicted that [[Fenrir]] was to be the death of him at the onset of the cataclysm. Suddenly, the Greco-Roman Isu (with whom the Asgardian Isu were in war) breached through the walls of Asgard. Odin fought against them with his fellow Isu and closed the city's walls.

"All your efforts to evade destiny will only fling you further along its course. If you're not careful, you may be the author of your own destruction."
―Loki, to Odin.[src]-[m]

Odin, also called the All-Father by worshippers and Havi by the Æsir, was an Isu who became a widely revered god in both Norse and Germanic mythology.

The leader of a group of Scandinavian Isu called the Æsir, he was known in Norse mythology as the king of all gods, associated with wisdom, healing, death, knowledge, and war. Along with being the original owner of the spear Gungnir, he was also the father of Heimdall, Baldr, and Thor, the warrior god of lightning and thunder.

Names

Odin, also referred to as Havi in Old Norse, meaning "High One", has numerous appellations.[1] Pagan Anglo-Saxons and Gaels referred to him as Woden or Wodin in Old English and Old Gaelic, respectively,[2] while the ancient Fomorian being called Balor knew him as Fjölnir.[3] The Isu Loki and Aletheia called him the Mad One.[4] Among his other epithets he is called The Hanged-God, Shield-Shaker, Graybeard and Wanderer.[5] Andhrímnir referred to him as Lore-Keeper.[6]

Biography

Early Life

Odin was the son of Borr and the jötunn Bestla, and with the help of his brothers Vili and Vé, they killed the proto-being Ymir and gained control over Asgard, an Isu city in Scandinavia.[7] At a later date, Odin became the single leader of the Æsir, a group of Asgardian Isu towards the end of the First Civilization. He was married to the Vanir Freyja but, while the pair developed a great respect for each other, their union was largely a political move. They, at some point, fathered the Isu Heimdall, Thor, and Baldr, who they loved dearly.[8]

Protecting Asgard

At some time before the Great Catastrophe, Odin was warned by the Nornir that the calculations predicted that Fenrir was to be the death of him at the onset of the cataclysm. Suddenly, the Greco-Roman Isu (with whom the Asgardian Isu were in war) breached through the walls of Asgard. Odin fought against them with his fellow Isu and closed the city's walls. There, he found Loki and the Builder, an Isu craftsman who said that he could help him protect Asgard, with the help of the mind methods of the Greco-Roman Isu. Distrustful with the Builder's presence and sense of opportunity but determined to protect his people from "Ragnarök" , Odin agreed to let him run a demonstration and sought to fetch the tools that he needed in the Well of Urdr.[1]

Odin reached the entrance of the Well and, while directing some beam lights to proceed, started to explore its depths, encountering many suspicious letters along the way.[9] When he reached the bottom of the tunnel, he encountered Týr, sent by Loki. He advised him that the stranger's words were not to be trusted. After unlocking the door to the main chamber of the Well, Odin dove into the pool and to his surprise discovered a young Fenrir hidden inside. He tried immediately to kill him, but was quickly stopped by his counselor. Týr argued with him, saying that they could not take a life on the sacred well, to which Odin answered that he was determined to survive to his doom and nothing would stop him.[10]

Týr locked up the child at Odin's request, and Odin exited the Well to encounter a concerned Loki who was strangely worried with the fate of the boy. He ended up indicating the location of the Builder and Odin, now with the necessary tools, went to meet him.[10] He encountered the craftsman and watched as the stranger proceeded to a pillar to activate a shield around the circling area. Although it temporarily failed, it proved efficient while keeping the Isu enemies out of reach. Odin found this very promising and asked him to make a shield to protect all of Asgard, but the Builder swiftly said that he would only do so if he married Freyja, Odin's wife. Odin immediately refused but still felt that shield was their strongest hope against the Catastrophe and their enemies, and so he headed to Freyja with the Builder's conditions.[11]

Odin returned to see the other Isu on a platform, surrounded by humans, next to the encaged teenage Fenrir. Odin asked himself how he had grown so fast and noticed how he was not from their kin. As he joined Loki, who commented his physical appearance, and Týr, the crowd was amazed with the Knowledge the kid possessed. Odin yelled to them that he if continued to gather it, he would become a great danger. Týr stated to him that the young Isu was not his enemy and that his presence there showed no signs of the incoming disgrace. Odin presented to Freyja the Builder's bargain and, after a brief argument with the other Isu, Loki suggested giving him an impossible deadline to build the shield tower, nine days. Freyja did not like the proposal, but it was their shot. Odin asked Loki to deliver the offer to the bold stranger.[12]

The other Isu walked away, leaving Odin and Týr with the crowd. Suddenly, Fenrir broke his bounds and ran. Odin hurried to follow him and quickly chased him through the scared Asgardians. They jumped from a ledge and, down there, the two Isu started fighting. Fueled by his rage on destiny, Odin knocked him down. Right before striking the killing blow, Loki intervened. At that moment, the Earth's magnetic shield failed and an aurora borealis appeared in the sky. In disbelief, Odin discerned that the boy was a sign of the Great Catastrophe. Loki quickly embraced Fenrir, crying, declaring that he was his son. Horrified, Odin realized further that Loki had had an affair with one of their enemies and had betrayed Sigyn. Enraged, Odin ordered the teenager to be arrested and decided to talk to Ivaldi, their dwarven blacksmith, in order to find a more permanent solution.[12]

Realizing that his time was short, he hurried to Ivaldi's Forge. While on his way, Odin looked to the island of Indre Holm and was surprised to see that the Builder had already constructed the base of the tower in so little time. He arrived at the dwarf's forge deep in a massive cave and saw the craftsman himself asking Ivaldi about how the technology of the Greco-Roman Isu affected the Asgardians. Ivaldi sent him away and Odin, still wondering about the stranger's true intentions, obliquely asked him to create a device that could imprison Fenrir for the rest of his life.[13] The blacksmith, who was grudgingly serving a life debt after Odin had saved his life,[14] demanded secret knowledge that only Odin knew in exchange for his services. One told a secret, he began listing seemingly impossible ingredients, and after Odin founded them by solving some ancient riddles,[15][16] Ivaldi began fabricating the mystery device, though it would take some time before it was finished. Before he left, Ivaldi told Odin that some relative of his had been experimented on by the Greco-Roman Isu and had his consciousness shifted to another body.[13]

Just as he was leaving, Freyja stormed into the forge and interrupted the pair, declaring that the tower was almost complete. Odin reassured her, saying that the final hours were ticking and that he would not let her marry the Builder. Still upset but hopeful, she let him go confront the outsider, but not before reminding him that Loki was up to something and needed to be taken care of.[13] Finally heading to speak with the Builder, Odin noticed that the tower was almost complete and asked himself if he and his friends had been outplayed. Reaching the Builder, he asked him how had he accomplished to complete the tower in so little time, to which the craftsman responded that the Æsir leader had not forbidden outside help. In time, Thor, Týr and a Loki disguised of Freyja arrived. They almost tricked the Builder, but Loki's voice denounced his identity. As the real Freyja arrived, she confronted Odin about his choice to do nothing in the face of problems. Odin threated the Builder, but he did not waver and walked away. Loki then conducted Odin to a cave below the tower, where the outsider kept his technology. They realized they were not alone, as disguised Greco-Roman Isu revealed themselves and fought with them. As they proved victorious, Odin demanded explanations from Loki. He explained that the stranger was an enemy Isu himself who had rescued his son from the territory controlled by the Greco-Roman Isu, in North America, and agreed to bring him to Asgard to help him find work. As they fought more enemies and grabbed the technology, they left the cave.[17]

Returning to the tower, Odin dispensed the other Isu and stayed behind with the Builder, intending to finish the tower himself. As Odin inserted the final piece of technology, the tower activated itself, creating a shield around the two and revealing the outsider as a Greco-Roman Isu. He stated that he did not build the tower to protect the Asgardians from the Catastrophe but rather to keep them trapped in the city. With the tower keeping the Asgardians out, the foreign Isu entered combat with his rival, determined to avenge the multiple Greco-Roman Isu that Odin had slain. As the Builder was worn down by Odin, he started using the tower's power to strengthen himself and his attacks, all while ranting that he sought to kill Odin and allow his own race to rule the planet. Eventually, Odin struck the final blow, killing the Builder. Without its creator to continue operating the tower, the shield deactivated. As the dispute was resolved, the Asgardians started accusing Loki of treason, Odin especially. Loki accused Odin back, saying that continuing in that selfish course would only lead to his own destruction.[17]

As Loki left, Freyja stated that the cataclysm was coming and they were no safer. Odin decided that he would travel to the Greco-Roman Isu's territory in search of the rumored methods of consciousness transfer. He left Asgard in charge of Freyja and ordered his counselor Týr to keep Fenrir under surveillance until his arrival. Odin left the city, crossing its walls into the unknown.[18] This eventually resulted in Fenrir being imprisoned for life.[19]

The Quest for the Seventh Method

Afterwards, Odin met with Aletheia and Juno, the Mother of Wisdom among the Capitoline Triad, who revealed to him that she, Jupiter, and Minerva were working on the supercomputer Yggdrasil as a seventh method of salvation to avoid the cataclysm, similar to an earlier attempt where their species' DNA would be uploaded into humanity's gene pool.[4] However, Minerva was concerned that it would alter humanity's genome,[20] and so the Triad abandoned the method.[21]

Outraged at the treatment of his child, Loki secretly murdered Baldr by poisoning his food with mistletoe berries. Odin stood over his son and grieved while Loki watched from afar. After learning who was responsible, Odin ordered Loki be apprehended to answer for his crimes. Odin then resumed searching for a way to resurrect Baldr.[4]

Odin observing the Great Catastrophe along with other Æsir Isu.

At some point in his life, Odin met and fought Balor, though the old god was not killed in the ensuing battle.[3]

When the Great Catastrophe came, Odin summoned his trusted eight to his secret chamber and uploaded themselves. He stated that none could follow them, especially Loki. He broke his mask and led the eight to face their end.[22] Millennia later, in 847 CE, Odin was reincarnated as the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan.[23]

Mythology

According to the mythology, Odin was accompanied by the ravens Huginn and Muninn, who kept him informed of the goings-on in the worlds.[24]

Odin was also in charge of the sword-maidens, who were thought to visit battlefields.[25]

At some point, Odin disguised himself as a beggar and plunged a sword into a tree called Barnstokkr, stating that whoever was able to pull it free would receive it as a gift. Only the warrior Sigmund proved able to do so, and subsequently claimed the Sword as his own.[26]

It is said that Odin will be killed by Loki's son, Fenrir, the giant wolf during the final battle Ragnarök.[27]

Legacy and influence

During the 9th century, the Vikings made offerings and sacrifices to Odin and prayed for strength in battle.[24] A statue of him was a key feature of Viking settlements.[28]

Odin had a totem named after him in the popular dice game Orlog, played in the 9th century. The piece "Odin's Sacrifice" would allow players to sacrifice a number of health tokens in order to gain more God Favor. An Anglo-Saxon man in Crawleah, Suthsexe possessed the piece, which he gave to Eivor after being defeated.[29]
