Three orbs, one day of the endless battle

The gods do not speak. They intervene.

Three gods reach into the fight — a bolt on the horizon, a second shape at your side, a duel nobody else survives. Odin grants no orb: he is the one who carries you to the hall and sends you back.

ᚦ

The loudest help

Thor

Chain lightning off the tower. The god who helps in the most visible way there is — every arc jumps to the next thing the ice sent.

Orb · Chain lightning

ᚷ

He sends no one

Loki

A static double of you, standing where you are not. He helps, but on his own terms: he sends nobody, he deceives.

Orb · Static doppelgänger

ᛏ

An old debt

Týr

The single combat. He bound Fenrir and lost the hand for it — and the Fenrir brood hunting you is that same bloodline. He answers for one enemy only, and that one is decided.

Orb · Duel, single target
