Dwarf of the Five Great God Clan Systems
Norse mythology is a polytheistic system, and the five major god clan systems are composed of giants, Asa gods, Warner gods, elves, and dwarves. Among them, dwarves and elves belong to the demigods, and although the dwarves are inferior to other gods in status, they have unique skills, that is, superb craftsmanship. As shown in God of War 4, the Dwarves are the makers of many artifacts, such as leviathan axes and Thor's hammers, which are from the hands of the dwarves. In fact, in the early mythological descriptions, dwarves are not short at all, they are not much different from normal human height, and in the later stages, they are processed by literature, and dwarves are forced to become shorter and shorter.
The reason why dwarves live in caves or mines for a long time is because they are afraid of the sun, and when they are exposed to the sun, they will turn into stones. Around this setting, a story between Thor and the dwarves was also triggered. Legend has it that the dwarf Alves got into contact with Sluder, the daughter of Thor, the god of thunder, and Thor's noble god bloodline must have been wrong with the door, so he forcibly pulled Alves to chat for a night, giving him all kinds of brain teasers to make it difficult for him. It wasn't until dawn that Alves realized that there was deception, but it was definitely too late to dig a pit to hide underground, so it was directly turned into stone after being illuminated by the sun. And as soon as Sluder saw that my object was gone, my father was gone, and he had no heart to deal with the object again, and there was no following in the myth.
The only remaining description is that she became a member of the Valkyrie. Here's a reminder that in God of War 4, the Valkyrie Hilde in Nivehrheim is not Sluder, Whoer is the goddess of dueling, and Sluder, as Thor's daughter, is a goddess of strength.
Dwarves Sindri and Bullock
When it comes to the dwarf characters in God of War 4, players are most impressed, and the most important scenes are them: Sindri Sindri and Brock Brock. The dwarf brothers are interspersed throughout the main line of God of War 4, while providing a number of side quests to perfect their own storylines. During the game clearance process, the player needs to constantly travel to and from the two brothers' Hu Guan Shop, no way, after all, Kui Ye and his son Atreus still have to point them to upgrade their equipment.
As two important NPCs in the game, it is not difficult to see that Sindri and Bullock have diametrically opposed settings, and the elder brother Sindri is kind and polite, treats every craft carefully, and pays great attention to detail. And the younger brother Bullock did not have any politeness, his temper was still quite impulsive, and he habitually complained to the father and son of Kuiye, and even his own camel had a bad nickname. Compared with various delicate crafts, Brock is more enthusiastic about weapons and equipment, especially he can perceive foreign weapons, the first time Kui Ye took out the Blade of Chaos, Brock saw that this thing did not belong to the Nine Realms, it exuded a foreign smell.
As a dwarf who has lived in the underground and mines for a long time and has been dealing with equipment forging for many years, there are basically very few who have a cleanliness habit, but Sindri is an exception. As can also be seen in the game, Santa Monica deliberately added some physical performances and confessions to Sindri, such as getting dirty when taking the axe. Cindery has told in the game why he looks like a fetish because he has encountered a Warner witch who used magic to show him many bacteria that are invisible to the naked eye, and he has been unable to stand it ever since. The witch told him that oak could stop the bacteria from multiplying and spreading, so the guy used oak for all his tools.
We can intuitively distinguish between Sindri and Bullock, not only because of their very different personality traits, but also of their skin color. Sindri conforms to the setting of dwarves in Norse mythology who are pale and have dark hair. Brock, on the other hand, is a large bald head with a blue-gray limited skin that is very different from that of a dwarf. Although Santa Monica borrows Cinderella's mouth to tell the player that his brother's skin is the same. But in fact, here is the secret of a famous blacksmith Brock.
Where the meme of the shop came from
In the game, Atreus's notes can also find some information about the dwarf brothers. When the notes record the two brothers, they use a word called Hu Zhi Brother File. Obviously, they are both dwarves, why should they be called Hu Yan brothers? Atreus said that when he talked about the word, everyone hid from him. How can this feeling be described? It was as if I had just come back from playing outside as a child, and my dad heard footsteps and quickly turned off the TV, took away the disc in the DVD, and asked him what he was watching and he didn't say anything.
Looking through all the records related to Hu Zhu, I found a similar word: Huldra HULDRA, which actually has a movie called "The Banshee in the Woods". What is Hurdera? The Norwegian word refers specifically to a female mythological figure, which belongs to Norwegian legend. The woman was a beautiful naked leprechaun living deep in the forest, with the tail of a cow, who often lured or kidnapped men into the forest to talk to her, and if she was satisfied, she would be rewarded, and men who could not meet or resist would be killed. Sure enough, these did not fit into telling Atreus as stories. But what does this have to do with the Hu Brothers file? Could it be that the dwarf brothers have all been recognized by the banshees?
There is also an extension about Hulder, female Hulder is always described as seductive and attractive women, while male Hulder tends to be terrible males with weird noses. Considering the grumpy brother Brock and his skin color, as well as the personality differences between the brothers, perhaps this male Hulder is more suitable for explaining this stem.
The above is the Nordic story of the dwarf brothers Sindri and Bullock in God of War 4, thank you for reading.
