History WMG / MagnusChaseandtheGodsofAsgard

Nidhoggr is pretty much the Eldritch Abomination to end all Eldritch Abominations in Norse Mythology. Not only is it almost as old as Ymir, but it essentially destroys the universe during Ragnarok. If Apophis embodied Chaos and Nyx embodies Night (And possibly the Void, but that's less clear) then Nidhoggr will embody the End.

* If the idea that all magical locations are related in some way is on the table, maybe some of the oldest deities interacted prior to the existence of the more modern Pantheons? The primary deities in mind being Apophis, Ra, Nyx, Gaia, Tartarus, Odin's father, Ymir, and possibly Nidhoggr. Since these beings all predate the creation of the physical universe in the respect mythologies, they probably know each other personally.

Because why not? And given the way Uncle Rick's works have slowly begun expanding outward from Greco-Roman mythology, Mesoamerican mythology might be as good a place to poke around in next as any.

I mean, they kinda need to cross the sea and not die because of angry gods. Having the son of a sea god with them the whole time will probably help. Considering Annabeth is going to introduce Magnus and Percy, this is very likely.

It will come down to the tradition of the bride-price. The sword that Loki used to escape was intended for the ''father'' of the bride, which Loki would have been for Sam. But he's Alex's ''mother''. So the fact is that Loki effectively stole the sword that should have gone to Alex's dad. This will somehow be turned against him in the third book, leading to his re-imprisonment and the averting of Ragnarok. Which is probably why he never wanted Alex at the ceremony in the first place.

They got tons of ship tease in the second book and Magnus is instinctively able to tell when she is either male or female. They clearly have a different sort of relationship than the one he has with Sam. It would be great to have a series whose main character's love interest just happens to be trans.

It'll be interesting if Uncle Rick writes a whole arc for Norse gods without giving the main POV protagonist a love interest. Magnus and Sam are more like partners, and they both acknowledged as such. Besides, Sam already has a love interest. Although, if a future crossover is written which involves gods from several mythologies to come together, Magnus would find a love interest who is a demigod or a champion from another pantheon of Gods, and this will play a key role in brokering a peace between different gods. This is supported by the fact that Magnus is a son of Frey, who is a god of peace, and Magnus's main power is about disarming enemies instead of killing. Also, Magnus is the only character from the 'Gods of Asgard series' so far to have the knowledge of other gods after exchanging stories with Annabeth, as explained in the preview of the first chapter of the next book, so he's the most ideal choice of being a 'diplomatic' character.

That's what this troper's hoping for anyway.

It's one of the more famous weapons from Norse mythology and it would also mesh well with Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, being the subject of the second book. It would also continue with the concept of cycles that seem prevalent in Rick Riordan's works, wit someone else taking up his mantle if Ragnarok happens. [[spoiler:Frey does call Magnus the last summer before Ragnoarok.]]

[[WMG: Loki have a similar goal as Azrae from dogmal]]

Camp Half-Blood has been compared to Byzantium, seeing as it's the Greek half of the Roman Empire in the East, and Byzantium had the Varangian Guard, made up of Viking soldiers. In honor of that, Odin will allow some of his chosen to act as the Camp's CadreOfForeignBodyguards.

How can they not they are some of the most famous characters found in the NorseMythology?

* Doubtful; there's no myth that this troper can recall that says anything about Ymir's status other than "Dead as a planet-sized doornail".

*** Gaia/Ouranos to Nut/Geb. They are Heaven and Earth, separated. Which makes Shu Atlas. They have different personalities and different degrees of freedom as Egyptians, just as the Greek and Roman gods do.

I mean think about it. He is most likely alive in some capacity and looking for revenge on Odin for killing him. Also, Loki seems a little too obvious.

--Lighthouse of Maat/The Wells of Fate. Both are the fundamental root from which the universe springs (The foundation of reality vs feeding the World Tree)
--The Sea of Chaos/The Void Beyond. Obvious really. Different ways to view the void outside reality.
--Yggdrasil/The Duat/The Underworld. All different ways to view the same thing. But given how differently the Greko-Roman afterlife and the Egyptian afterlife are managed, they're probably different places and would have sharp words for each other.
