Thor, Giants Bane
Thor, Giants Bane
Wotan’s second youngest and boldest son, Thor is the champion of man and dwarf. Riding out in search of glory on a chariot pulled by tireless celestial goats, hammer at his side, he is the adventurer of Asgard and the eternal foe of giants, trolls, and other monsters. Thor is filled with daring courage and none too bright. Countless godlings and ancient spirits fell beneath his hammer, and to this day Northern monsters and especially giants fear and hate him. The dwarves are wary of Thor, for although he supposedly created them, he also smote their halls when they dared to favor another god over him. Reaver dwarves invoke him both as creator and for vengeance and retribution. Thor effortlessly wields Mjolnir, a mighty weapon crafted by brok and sindri, who’s blows are so devastating they could level mountains. Wotan even enchanted the weapon with runes giving it magical properties such as being able to return to Thor and to shrink in size to fit in his pocket. But do not be fooled by a pocket sized Mjolnir for it weighs no less than before.
Depiction. Thor is depicted as a large dwarf with a wild red mane and beard, typically holding Mjolnir at his side.
Worshippers. Reaver dwarves and Northlanders worship Thor as the god of war and raiding, of thunder and glory. As a great defender of the North and a good husband to his divine wife Sif, he is widely revered by elders, wives, and villagers, not just those who go a-viking.
