The other day I was reading a fanfic in AO3 that was about Narvi being received by Hela in Helheim in a very nice way and that made me think, if Narvi is in Helheim then he will also be there with Baldur, can you imagine how Baldur would react, such a noble god to find out that his father made an innocent boy kill his also innocent brother, just to punish his father.

Oh yes... That could be a reason why, when Baldur is back and creates a new kingdom with the surviving gods, he does not ressurects his father, and tries to do better?

BTW, the new kingdom is not called New Asgard, but Gimlé :p Might be proof that Baldur did want to break with the old and makes something totally new :p

The Influence of Norse Mythology on Tolkien’s Works

Possibly the most famous fantasy author of all time, Tolkien clearly drew inspiration from various legends - significantly, Norse myths.

The most blatant influence of Norse mythology on Tolkien’s dwarf population is in the names. All but one dwarf is named from Norse mythology. Durin was the second dwarf created in Norse mythology, and the first dwarf created in Tolkien’s Middle-Earth. Thorin, Dwalin, Fili, Kili and all the other dwarves from Tolkien’s The Hobbit are listed beneath Durin in the Prose Edda which lists the order that the first dwarves were created. Another familiar name on the list is Gandalf, although Tolkien chose to give this name to his wizard. The only exception to this rule is, perhaps, the most famous of Tolkien’s dwarves, Gimli.

Gimli is of course the dwarven warrior who accompanied Frodo on his quest to destroy the One Ring. His name is the Icelandic form of Gimlé, a glittering place where the survivors of last battle between good and evil – Ragnarok – will go. This is perhaps a reference to the fact that, after surviving the final battle against Sauron, Gimli was the only dwarf ever to be granted access to Valinor – the undying lands of the Elves, often compared to heaven or paradise.

AHHHHHHHHHHH. Also, whether it was on purpose or not on purpose, I find it absolutely hilarious that they made Grima a GREEN DRAGON of all things. Meaning that he will get absolutely DESTROYED by every Falchion user out there. (And my Laslow LOL.) So where is my female version I DEMAND A GRIMA WITH PONYTAILS.

LIVE REVIEW: NIGHT DEMON & CIRITH UNGOL @GIMLE, COPENHAGEN

Last month, I took a trip to Copenhagen for the first time, and it quickly became one of my favourite cities – what an incredible place! While there, I decided to check out what shows were happening in the area, and to my surprise, Cirith Ungol and Night Demon were performing! I’m a big fan of Night Demon and have had the pleasure of covering them before here at The NWOTHM, but Cirith Ungol,…
