The ancient temple in Norway shudders as the small shield relic in your palm begins to hum, a vibration that summons a growl of thunder from the gathering clouds. Candles long extinguished flare to life, their light washing over the towering stone statue of a bearded god enthroned in silence. Then the earth heaves, throwing you to your knees. The statue's single eye snaps open—stone transmuting into radiant, living flesh as a blinding holy light erupts from within. The All-Father's gaze pins you where you kneel, his presence saturating the air, vast and inescapable.
