Please just DON’T make them overpowered!!! It would make S1 heros obsolete.

From what I see about the poster, it appears to be Valhalla/Norse themed as some have pointed out. The saying about a dying a hero lends itself well to the idea that a Valkyrie will greet our heroes on their journey. Hopefully it’s a journey that will lead us to Commander Grey, because it’s high time he had his own card and story continuation. It would also make for a more cohesive/comprehensive story… in my opinion.

On a side note, is anyone else bugged by the right horn Odin appears to be wearing on his head? It curves in the wrong direction and it bugs me so bad for some reason.

This looks and sounds awesome. The game could take on a whole new life!

Norse Creatures and Monsters

Some of the most interesting characters in Norse mythology are not the powerful gods.

But rather the creatures that constantly appear to challenge the gods and terrorise men.

1. Draugar


The Draugar are the undead of Norse Mythology . Although some stories describe them as drinking blood creature, they are more like zombies (monsters) than vampires.

The Draugar possess superhuman strength and can increase their size at will, but they cannot shake the unmistakable stench of decay and have the hideous visage of a dead body.

2. Dwarves

Norse-and-Germanic-mythology-dwarves
Dwarves, or dark elves, are small misshapen creatures that originated as maggots from the corpse of Ymir, the first of the Norse giants, and gifted with reason by the gods of Asgard.

They lived underground in a place called Svartalfheim, which was thought to be a warren of mines and forges. They were said to have crafted the finest weapons and jewellery, including Mjollnir, Thor’s hammer, Gungnir, the spear of Odin, and the long golden hair of Thor’s wife.

3. Elves


There are two different types of elves in Norse mythology, the Dokkalfar , or dark elves creature, and the Ljosalfar , light elves creatures. The dark elves are thought to be the same as dwarves and dwell under the earth and be almost black to look at.

Light elves on the other hand were described as more beautiful to behold than the sun. Light elves were often considered much like the gods of Aesir and Vanir, and the Vanir god Freyr was the lord of the elven homeland of Alfheim.

4. Fenrir


Fenrir was the most famous of many wolves creature mentioned in Norse mythology. He was the son of the god Loki and the giantess Angroboda.

The gods of Asgard raised Fenrir in order to stop him from wreaking havoc across the nine worlds, but he grew quickly and caused so much trouble that they decided to chain him up.

5. Fossegrimen


The Fossegrim, also known simply as the grim, is a water spirit and creature. He plays the fiddle with incredible talent, mimicking the sounds of the forest, wind and water. He can be induced to teach the skill.

He usually requires an offering, perhaps a white goat thrown with its head turned away into a waterfall that flows northwards, or smoked mutton stolen from the neighbours’ storehouse four Thursdays in a row.

6. Huldra


The Huldra are wardens of the forest, part of a group of Ra that protect various different locations. The female Hudra are always described as incredibly beautiful and seductive, but with the long tail of a cow and their back covered in bark.

7. Jormungandr


Also known as the Midgard Serpent, the Jormungandr is another of the children of Loki and Angrboda. He is a snake or dragon that lives in the sea that surrounds Midgard, the visible world of humans. It is said that Odin tossed him into the water to keep him out of trouble. But this creature grew so large that he was able to surround the whole of Midgard and grasp his own tail.

8. Jotnar


The Jotnar are the giants of Norse mythology and are described as having powers that rival that of the gods. Rather than referring to their size, the name Jotnar means ‘devourers’.

They are the enemy of the gods, and as the Asgardian gods represent order, the Jotnar embody chaos. Nevertheless, many of the Asgardian gods are descended from the Jotnar. Odin is half Jotnar, and Thor three-quarters Jotnar. The Asgardian gods do not seek to kill the Jotnar, but to keep them in check so that the universe remains in balance.

9. Kraken


The Kraken are aquatic monsters that are said to dwell off the shores of Norway and Greenland. They are often depicted as gigantic octopi or squids, and some stories suggest that they were so big that their bodies could be mistaken for an island.

If men were drawn to the island, it would sink when they set foot on it, killing them and leaving them as food for the Kraken. When it rose to the surface it was believed to cause large whirlpools which would help it attack ships.

10. Mare


The Mare monster gave people bad dreams at night by sitting on them in their sleep. It was believed that the Mare were the souls of living people which left their bodies at night like demons.

Often these were witches, whose souls took the forms of animals, but normal people, in particular adolescents, were also thought to become Mare when their spirits wandered. The idea that the soul wandered at night was a common phenomenon. Odin’s soul wandered so often that he worried that one day it may not return to his body.

11. Norns


The Norns are female beings and creatures that create and control fate, even the fate of the gods. They would appear at each birth to weave their thread of fate by casting wooden lots, weaving a piece of cloth or carving symbols into wood.

The Norse appeared to have believed that fate was blind and implacable, and there is no evidence of anyone ever impeaching the Norns to change their fate.

12. Ratatoskr


Ratatoskr is a squirrel that runs up and down the tree of life, delivering the messages of the gods. However, he is mischievous, and enjoys stirring trouble between the wise eagle that sits at the top of the tree and the hungry dragon that dwells in its roots.

In some stories he is described as having the more sinister motive of convincing the two adversaries to use their powers to destroy the tree.

13. Sleipnir


Sleipnir was the horse of Odin. It had eight legs, so that it could have one leg in each of the Norse worlds.

Loki is actually the mother of Sleipnir. Loki shapeshifted into a mare and was impregnated by the stallion of a giant.

14. Trolls


Two different types of trolls are found in Norse myths. There are large ugly trolls that dwell in forests and mountains, and small gnome-like trolls that live underground in deep caves and caverns. They are generally depicted as not very intelligent and quite malevolent, but they can show kindness in exchange for a favour.

Trolls were thought to be responsible for the many boulders that cover the Scandinavian countryside. Some were used by them as weapons, others are trolls turned to stone by the sun.

15. Valkyries


The Valkyrie were female spirits in the service of the god Odin.

They were elegant, noble maidens that bore dead heroes to Valhalla, the heavenly home of Odin’s fallen army as they await Ragnarok. Valkyrie means ‘choosers of the slain’, and the Valkyrie not only worked for Odin, but also chose who lived and died in battles, using malicious magic to ensure their preferences.

Nah, forget all that epic imagery, I’m hoping we get to butcher a load more helpless and totally non-threatening small birds and mammals

Take your time getting through the first two seasons. Once you complete those, it will become a constant grind and you can get bored really quickly without awesome people to keep you company. LOL

Lol… what will you do with them, eventually you get them?

The squirrel will probably be ratatoskr too much type look em up on wiki

This is a rare video of the squirrel singing with its friends about the players’ relationship with RNG:

I think it would be neat to see the 3rd season play through several or all of the realms in order to progress. Of if there was a way to offer alternate replayable paths that allowed the season to be played through in different ways rather than just running through the same levels again like in season 2.

Does anyone have a clue when new levels will come or a new season

All the discussions concerning S3 are in the link below:
Currently no time frame for the release although people are optimistic about it arriving at some point in 2020.
