| Here in the hall known as Valaskjalf is Hlidskjalf (Odin's
throne). It is from this throne that he observes all that happens in his
realms and has learned of you. The tidings brought to him by Huginn and
Muninn (two giant ravens which serve as his eyes).
If you look off in the corner you will see his spear Gungir, which never
misses its mark when thrown. The braying you hear in the distance would
be his eight footed steed Sleipnir, the fastest that ever existed.
It appears as though Odin has grown weary with waiting for us and has
left to attend to other business. Our tardiness has cost us much. Now we
must find our way back to Midgard ourselves. |
