TRANSCRIPT Kratos: "This chisel we seek-- What is it?" Mimir: "I'm glad you asked actually. I have just the story for you... (clears throat). There was a Giant once named Thamur-- a very giant Giant--who despite his mountainous size, was without question the greatest stonemason this world has ever seen. Proud Thamur hoped to one day past his vast knowledge on to his son, but young Hrimthur had the heart of a warrior. Perhaps the father had too much fears in him or his son too little... either way, a quarrel of theirs spiraled out of control, and the overworked stone mason--bonk!--struck his son. Hrimthur ran off into the night. Feeling shame and regret. Thamur chased after his son, but in his emotional state, soon founded himself wandering Midgard, lost and alone. Sadly, he caught the eye of the one person he didn't want to meet alone at night, so far from home... Thor. Atreus: "And?!? What happened next?" Mimir: "You'll see." Atreus: "Thor killed him. Oh no... he fell on a village?" Mimir: "Aye. When Thamur fell, he crushed a charming place famed for worshipping the Vanir god, Njörd. Thor Always took credits for planning that one but, the truth is the sweaty bawbag just got lucky." Hashtags: #GodOfWar #Mimir #Thamur #Hrimthur #NorseMythology #VideoGameStorytelling
