    There is an optional story you missed, because whatever triggers it, it's not just the shrines. It's a follow-up to the one about Hrungnir, the giant born with no head or heart, so they made him ones of stone.

      @coladict 5 років тому +14

      I recorded it the one time it happened to me, but since the PS4's internal video recorder craps itself all the time, there's a chunk of it missing. It's about how after the giant fell on Thor, nobody could lift the body from him, and while everyone gathered to think of a solution, Magni and Modi (still children at the time) came in and pushed it over. Magni got the credit, because he's blond, and Modi has been bitter for it ever since.
      I had the blades of chaos on in the video, and Baldur's dead dragon was visible behind the Svartalfheim tower, but there was no snow falling.

    Disturbing fact, or fact of fiction I should say. That story with the giant who built a wall for Odin. In the actual mythology Loki was there as well and, once Odin realized he was going to lose his wadger, he tasked Loki with stopping the giant. Well forced really.
    He did this by becoming a female horse, which would lead the giant's own trusty steed away, and would make the giant lose.
    Of course here is how Loki managed to keep the steed away without it losing interest. Basically he had to let the stead impregnate him. His child would become the 8 legged horse that Odin himself would employ as his own noble steed.
    That's the actual mythology in a nutshell.

      Yeah, the walls were destroyed by the war between the Vanir and Aesir so the giant offered to rebuild them out of stones but in exchange he wanted Sol (the Sun), Mani (the Moon), and Freya. But the reason for the wager was partly Loki's fault... He convinced the gods to agree to the giant's terms, claiming the task would be impossible to finish in the allotted time...
      Honestly Loki could best be described as a god who embodies the characteristics of a sleezy used car salesman.
