Cool quiz. I missed Frigga because I thought Frigga and Freya were the same character. Also missed Ymir... I knew Ymir was the frost giant whose dead body was supposed to have formed the world, but didn't know he was the "all father." Maybe you could accept a few alternate spellings for some of these? For instance Wotan or Woden is very common for Odin, and Tiu is common for Tyr. This is where we get Woden'sDay/Wednesday and Tiu'sDay/Tuesday from.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah i wrote a book on Norse Mythology, and i have been loving this website, so thought i would create one off the research i had gathered! I will add those spellings in, just because it is a little nitty gritty stuff that will get some people!
I think Loki is much better described as the God of Mischief, rather than the God of Evil. True, he wasn't exactly a great guy to begin with, but I wouldn't call him "evil" from the start.
I got most of my answers from Magnus Chase and the gods and monsters are the same but they have Frey, Gunilla and some others that are not here. Are they part of the book or are they real?? Please tell me.
Fun fact: In Norse mythology, Hel is the daughter of Loki. So I can just imagine a cartoon drawing of Thor breaking down Loki's front door and yelling "LOKI CONTROL YOUR DAUGHTER."
i would just like to say that Sjofn is not the goddess of passion she is the goddess of love... so you might wanna fix that. or maybe when you google something try and get the actually answers..
1. Niffleheim is a video game, should be Niflheim/Niflheimr/Nifhel. And, Surtr rules the realm of flame, Muspelheim, instead of the realm of mist and ice.
2. Loki is a trickster. But not the god of evil.
3. Fenrir is a wolf that grows fast and breaks chains. Never heard of its shape-shifting abilities.
4. Frigg should be accepted for Frigga. Frey for Freyr. Freyja for Freya
5. Mimir was not killed, just beheaded, and it is done by the Vanir gods. Odin actually exchanged his eye to take a sip of the well of wisdom. You cannot call that fighting...
6.Forseti, son of Balder/Baldr/Baldur and Nanna, is the god of justice.
7. Njord is also the god of the seas. I think you are referring to Ullr as the god of skiing and archery. Even so, Ullr was just associated with archery and winter sports. It was later interpretations that gave Ullr a title.
8. Freyja is the leader of the Valkyries. Thrud is one of the valkyries.
