=== Norwegian Village ===
==== Battle of Tønsberg ====
Centuries ago, the Frost Giants of Jotunheim, led by their king Laufey, arrived to Tønsberg, planning to conquer Midgard, freezing everything in their path using the Casket of Ancient Winters to plunge the world in a new glacial period. However, the Asgardian army, led by Odin, defended Midgard and engaged in a war against the Frost Giants, forcing them to abandon Earth and retreat to their own world. Years later, Odin brought the Cosmic Cube to Tønsberg and elected to leave it in the care of Asgardian worshipers.
==== World War II ====
During World War II, Johann Schmidt led a HYDRA assault on Norway searching for the Cube. Following its trails until reaching a church full of Viking warriors entombed within its walls, Schmidt interrogated the Church Keeper, who tried to make Schmidt cease his search, claiming the Cosmic Cube was a simple myth.
Schmidt, convinced of its existence as the most valuable object in Odin's Vault, located a fake replica inside one of the tombs, and threatened the Church Keeper to kill all the inhabitants of the village if he didn't help him locate the Cosmic Cube. Schmidt then focused his attention at a sculptured mural of Yggdrasil, finding a hidden box behind a Nidhogg depiction in the mural with the actual Cosmic Cube inside. The Church Keeper warned Schmidt that he wouldn't control the Cube's power, but Schmidt killed him and ordered his army to destroy Tønsberg.
