As far as I’m concerned, it’s not verified that the person by the tree in the trailer is Odin. Eivor thinks so, but whether or not they’re right is up for debate, imo. However, the trailer does feature a ’proper’ image we can use for Odin: the wooden statues. One at the ritual setting, the other being erected. Sadelyrate (siniath) 23:48, May 1, 2020 (UTC)
The Statue[]
No, the statue is NOT of Odin. Look at the hand. The guy has no left hand. It's Tyr, not Odin.

- According to Darby McDevitt, that’s Odin. He’s specifically asked about the statue’s identity in the trailer commentary. Sadelyrate (siniath) 17:09, May 2, 2020 (UTC)
- Has anyone hit him on twitter about it? Mistakes like this is like not knowing where you towel is. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 17:15, May 2, 2020 (UTC)
- Tbf, they have used Wrong statues before. In Odyssey, they’ve used a statue of Hebe for Demeter and a statue of an apparently random priest for Dionysos. Both of these decisions confound the heck out of me, at least. Sadelyrate (siniath) 19:03, May 3, 2020 (UTC)
Father[]
Yeah, ah... Ymir isn't Odin's father. Bor is. Ymir is the ancestor to all jotnar and Odin's mother Bestla was a jotunn.V i l k a T h e W o l f (talk) 14:36, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
Reading Calculations vs Nornir[]
In the Asgard arc of the main game, we can interpret that the Nornir show Odin some Calculations. The question is: should we consider the Nornir actual Isu beings or just the visual representation of Odin witnessing the Calculations, seen by Eivor through the mythological veil? In Dawn of Ragnarök, there are several conversations with NPCs that confirm that Odin has the gift to read Calculations naturally, an ability which he passed on to Baldr, who apparently managed to "gaze into the future" (he even witnessed the moment of his death according to Database: Baldr) —unsigned comment by TiagoFF (talk · contr) 21:14, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
- The Nornir are currently just viewed as the Yggdrasil device used by Odin to see into the calculations, as Layla also encounters them when she enters the device without them hanging outside like Basim and Valka's mother. Can you find any of the mentions were they say he can see the future naturally? Cause all we've seen of him seeing the future is through the Nornir, and I'd suppose Baldr would've done the same, having had access to his fathers vaults. Maybe this will be confirmed in forgotten myths #3, its left to be seen.BearticWiki (talk) 06:06, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- Correct. According to Lacrossedeamon on the Norn's talk page, ACV writer Darby McDevitt has said on the AC Wiki's Discord that the Norns are Yggdrasil's OS...but we've yet to actually acquire a screenshot of the comment for sourcing. :/ It seems that after the Great Catastrophe, the past/present/future nature of Calculations was remembered by early humans as the three Fates in various myths. If Baldr can see Calculations naturally, he likely doesn't need the Norns, like how Heimdall uses no aid to watch all of the Nine Realms. – Darman (talk) 15:00, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- LId imagine Heimdall could see all realms since he took care of the teleportation nexus that linked them. so he would see if anyone arrived or prob was arriving.BearticWiki (talk) 15:42, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- I doubt Baldr's "innate talents" are meant to be taken at face value. His dreams might just be an Isu version of the Bleeding Effect. 23:53, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- So, if the Nornir are representations of Yggdrasil's Calculations, how did Odin saw the Calculations at the beggining of the Asgard arc? Yggdrasil hadn't been built yet and he didn't know of the seventh method's existence. - TiagoFF (talk) 21:49, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- The yggdrasil supercomputer that layla encountered and Odin used to see calculations was not the same as the rebirth maker yggdrasil device. as we see they have two compleatly different purposes and look different, they are probably though in the same vault and the other one was just built at a later date.BearticWiki (talk) 22:07, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- Supposedly, the Yggdrasil supercomputer had started development in Jötunheimr, by the Capitoline Triad, to implement the seventh method properly (as seen in The Price of Wisdom), wHo then abandoned it. Odin would then rebuild it in Asgard, then it's impossible for him to have built Yggdrasil before journeying to Jötunheimr and encountering its project alongside Juno. - TiagoFF (talk) 22:17, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- Locking the mead away could just mean the serum and/or plans not the delivery method. Yggdrasil built as a 'Calculator' then later repurposed for the mead. Vetinari(Appointment) 22:37, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- The Nornir are software, they don't need to start at the Yggdrasil; just put them on the thumbdrive of eden and they can be on any computer system compatible with them. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 22:40, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- Probably made Sisyphos lug a desktop. ;) True, I get the impression that the Nornir do the calculating for Havi. Anything approaching scientist seems low on his skill set. Vetinari(Appointment) 23:26, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
