Norse mythology is a very rich universe, deeply ingrained in the traditions and customs of the Middle Age Scandinavian peoples. Gods and men walk alongside giants, elves, dwarfs and all manners of magical creatures. This world was created by the powerful Odin and his brothers from the body of a giant. The start of mythical and breathtaking adventure.

Odin created Asgard, the kingdom of the gods, but that doesn’t mean he’s resting on his laurels. The father of all things watches over the nine realms, placed in a delicate balance atop the world tree Yggdrasil. These realms are full of mythical creatures, some peaceful, others less so. So, the gods of Asgard must soon face their first conflict.

Episode 3: Exploits of the Gods

Nestled in their kingdom of Asgard, the Norse gods watch over Midgard, the realm of men. There are numerous threats coming from the nine realms, starting with the
giants whose taunts and provocations become more and more frequent. Fortunately,
men and gods can count on Odin and his powerful son Thor to repel the attacks. And when the god of thunder brandishes his hammer Mjölnir, it’s usually the start of a great adventure.

In Norse mythology, Loki has a place of his own. Taken into Asgard as an infant, he grew under the protection of Odin. Rival and friend of Thor, he prefers illusions to sheer force.

In the end, the god ofdiscord will turn against the other gods fighting Ragnarök.
