The **Nordic Weaponry and Equipment** were the arsenals and tools belongs to the Realm of Midgar in Ancient Norway from Norse Mythology in European origin.

Includes encountered new allies and enemies along the way, especially made interaction with Norse Gods (Aesirs).

## History

### God of War Crossover

Jing D. Hayabusa has travels to Midgard to learn Kratos is does alive after the Destruction of Olympus from one of his orbital satellites for searching for him and pin-point his current whereabouts, includes his scouts, he has been went under radar for years until it pick up a energy spike (in magical nature), indicate there is a barrier hides and shields him from the ghost of his past, especially Athena.

After the Fall of Olympus, Jing's recon unit were tracing Kratos' blood trail after he still survive from being stab himself with the Blade Of Olympus (since before took the blade for limited duplication), twice, turns out it stops on the tracks and unable to see the wounded vengeful demi-god on their sights, if there is a nearby dock or a boat, they decide to call it out and reported to their disappointed leader.

Jing declares Kratos will be under hiding if by chance he does recovered from that stab wound or not, knowingly he does survive until he will resurfaced during his self-exile.

Until he encountered Astral Athena, whose been observing since Jing had went to collecting Kratos' equipment.

Jing will not being manipulated under Athena's thumb for searching Kratos, he knew she did made him his pawn, especially being backstabbed.

So, in order to avoid suspension, Jing did left the fallen Olympus and before secretly dispatching his search party without the spiritual goddess' sight.

#### Kratos' Debriefing Background

When confronted Kratos for several years of hiding and isolated from the world, having start anew of his life. With Jing highly speak regards to the now Retired God of War's debriefing during the aftermath of the Destruction of Olympus.

Kratos even finds love again with a woman named Faye, his second wife, eventually fathering a son with her named Atreus. So far Jing made acquaintance with her, so far he learn Mythology to get a feeling that he knew Faye (aka Laufey) is.

And while his son, Atreus (aka Loki) (who is still young before her death), will not eavesdropping this conversation about his father's dark secrets before making introductions, it is best to heading elsewhere in prying ears, especially learning this conversation will being watched or heard from the distance, went to one of ruin temples will be perfect spot to had private talk.

Now, Kratos began to tell Jing everything since Olympus' destruction.

He learned Kratos held the power of hope inside of him and when Kratos destroyed all of the Olympians and brought upon the apocalypse, he pierced himself with the Blade of Olympus to free the power of Hope to give to the mortals to survive forward.

During his final confronting Ares' at Siege of Athens, Kratos did opened the Pandora's Box, not just contains the power to kill a god, but contains great Evils that were created by the Titanomachy. Along with a power of Hope keeping the Evils at bay.

Unbeknownst to Kratos, the opening of Pandora's Box had grave consequences on Greece: After Pandora's Box was opened, the Evils of the Titanomachy escaped and infected the Gods, which caused them to become paranoid and power-hungry.

Zeus himself fell prey to his own Evil-Fear, which caused him to begin his campaign to kill Kratos for fear of falling victim to The Cycle that his own father had started all those years ago. He grew obsessed with the prophecy that foretold the destruction of Olympus by Mortal hands. Those fears seemed to be accurate since Kratos was angry about the lie that the Gods had done to him, in which they forgave his crimes, yet refused to remove his nightmares. However, despite all those fears and reasonable thoughts, it would be Zeus's actions that caused Kratos to want to act out of revenge.

Which that explains everything from what Kratos learn about how the Gods of Olympus were act corrupt, cruel, power hunger, and paranoid.

it was revealed that this Fear also motivated Zeus to confront Hephaestus about how Kratos had retrieved the Box from the seemingly-unassailable hiding place atop Cronos. After he beat the Smith God horribly, Zeus learned of Pandora's role as a key to the Flame of Olympus-the true safest place to hide the Box-and took Pandora away from Hephaestus while he turned him into a crippled monster and left him in the torment of The Forge.

The same Evil that corrupted the King of the Gods, but Kratos has Athena's power of hope able to kill Zeus when almost corrupted his mind when Pandora's guidance withdrew into his own Psyche. After he absolved himself of his sins, Kratos was able to unlock the power that Athena had told him to find that was symbolized by his Astral Form opening Pandora's Box, used it to kill Zeus for good, and thus, the Lighting of the World was unleashed.

Shortly after Zeus' death, Athena revealed that years ago when Zeus gathered all the Evil and trapped them in Pandora's Box, she placed the "most Powerful weapon in the world" in the Box, the Power of Hope, to counteract the Evils in case it was opened again (Pandora later revealed that she anticipated on the moment that Pandora's Box would be opened).

The first time that Kratos opened the Box, Athena believed that the power of Hope to remain inside, while Kratos drew from the Evils.

In truth, however, Athena realized that Kratos had actually accessed Hope, while the Evils corrupted the Gods including Zeus which caused him to be obsessed with Kratos's death. Until his confrontation with Zeus, Kratos had been unable to use the Power freely, because it was trapped beneath his overwhelming hatred, guilt, sins, and failures of his past, but that it was freed, she could reclaim it and use it to reshape the world. In response, however, Kratos impaled himself on the Blade of Olympus, released Hope to Greece, and completed the escape of the powers that were once held in Pandora's Box.

Now Jing feeling tense at the revelation of what Kratos had debrief, all Gods of Olympus were cursed when opening the Pandora's Box, releasing all the Evils which each of them had, especially Hope within Kratos after Ares' death.

The curses that each god has corrupted during in the astral form of Athena has debrief:

* Zeus: **Fear**
* Poseidon: **Rage**
* Hades: **Hatred**
* Hermes: **Mischief**
* Helios: **Vanity** and **Deceit**
* Hera: **Gluttony** and **Sloth**
* Hercules: **Envy**
* Aphrodite: **Lust** and **Vanity**
* Hephaestus: **Misery** and **Deceit**

And lastly Athena has **Greed** within her during guiding Kratos to the Flames of Olympus to repossession of Pandora's Box. Unaware that Hope is absorbed within Kratos during his time as the new God of War and before vengeful path to Olympus' destruction.

The power of **Hope** is blessed, it does keeping the Curse of Evil escaped from the Pandora's box. So much Athena's greed and usurped for returning her Hope from Kratos.

Which is why Kratos refuse and prevents her from reclaim her power, than he was tired of always being used as a pawn, and freed to mankind by his sacrifice, which granted Hope to humanity. Athena, after she said that Mortals could not yet wield such power, pulled out the Blade of Olympus from Kratos' torso and walked away.

Which is why Kratos has survive from being impale himself given Hope to humanity, after Athena walks away in disappointment to the former God of War for given mortals with her power of Hope.

In Kratos' stead, a trail of blood led back to the sea. It is revealed that he is cursed to forever walk the earth for his terrible sins, thus unable to die.

Finding no reason to stay in Greece, he moves to Nordic lands. During this time with the power of Hope now given to humanity, the people of Greece have learned to move on and rebuild without the need of the Olympian Gods.

Eventually leaving Greece as well as his bloody past behind, Kratos ends up in Ancient Egypt and makes his way into Midgard. Having come to view his troubled past with great shame, Kratos has taken the initiative to mature and grow past his self-destructive tendencies, choosing to live as a man under the thumb of the Norse Pantheon.

As seen on the Amphora Vase within Tyr's Vault.

With Jing silence to hear Kratos' full debriefing...now fully understandable regarding why he exiles Greece to Nordic lands, especially his new fresh start of his life.

With that is done, before made his depart to leave Kratos from his new life after his story, given a retired God of War some mementos of where he left Greece: His belongings, relics and materials from Sparda, and even several bottles of Lemnian wines.

After all Tyr has collecting Sparda Relics at Greece, especially the Lemnian wine, and then before Kratos and Atreus set out on a journey to spread her ashes from the highest peak in all the Nine Realms as it was her final wish.

Well...just only few which not that much for Kratos appreciation for those gifts, of course, the retired God of War obliged.

Kratos feeling grateful for those gifts, especially seeing his old Arms of Sparda, reminded of the death of his brother, Deimos, for facing Thanatos - turns out these were once his, but just a replica of his original.

With that, Jing left this realm when gathering new arsenals and relics for better good purposes.

#### Faye's Briefing and Unexpected Prophecy or Promise

During Jing made his departure after his debriefing with Kratos, but got confronted by Faye who is almost left the protective barrier, before he sense a magical barrier within the forest and where Kratos has settled, technology can't beat to it, which he learns it was cast by the second wife of Kratos, especially her status (as a Jötunn/Frost Giant).

Faye know who Jing really is, but neither an Aesir or a Foreign God from different lands, so she knew he is trustworthy and kept secrets.

So far since before Faye had foresaw Kratos' arrival into Midgard followed by Jing himself years later in afterwards.

She figured that he and Kratos were acquainted in Greek World, so knowingly that this man will help the latter from his path of redemption in the future.

Especially Jing's skills and power that pair with any Æsir he encountered (especially Baldur and Thor), knowingly that he had foresight to predict the future.

Faye talks to Jing before guided towards to where she goes around Midgard, before she cast herself to protection spell on herself from eyes and ears from Odin's ravens, much obliged to her towards to where she guided him.

Once as they arrived, which confirms that she's a Jötunn, arriving a cave which miles away from her home with Kratos and Atreus/Loki.

As Faye shows him a wooden triptychs before opens them, a prophecy about the "Foreign Wanderer" or "Traveler (Gangr)" who arrives Midgard happens to be Jing who looked shocked about this predicament, before arrival of his, followed by seeing himself talks to Kratos and Faye in both sides, and last part seeing him helps and accompanies Kratos and Atreus on their journey.

As Faye made includes, she told Jing about her husband's fate, along with her son Atreus/Loki. Which means the Death of Kratos by Thor and Atreus mourning.

It was their destiny, their own fate, Faye wanted to prevent it, which Jing had flashbacks about about his mentor - Zeratul, for gather prophecies.

He knew the Dark Prelate wanted to prevent Kerrigan's death from the fate of the universe, Jim Raynor able to prevent it from happen when Amon's reign.

And so, Jing accepts his long term mission to help and prevent Kratos and Atreus/Loki from their fate.

As Faye made instructions to Jing if knowingly that she will died at the time once her son is 11.

Before she died willingly, she instructed Kratos and Atreus to cremate her body and scatter her ashes atop the highest peak of the Nine Realms.

Unbeknownst to them, the highest peak wasn't in Midgard, but in Jötunheim, where a mural telling her life and a prophecy about Atreus, mentioned as Loki, was and would explain her origins to them. To ensure events turned out as she wanted, she also instructed Kratos to cut down specific trees marked with a golden, glowing hand sign that would disable the protection around her woods and alert the Gods to her presence in Midgard.

Sure enough, Odin sent Baldur to track and find her, not knowing she was already dead, driving her husband and son to Jötunheim to learn the truth as they bonded in their journey.

Afterwards for knowing this time will come, and so Jing is set in motion.

Before they part ways, Jing informed Faye to past his message to Kratos which he will come by to visit and babysitting Atreus.

#### Joining Kratos and Atreus' Journey

Jing decided to visit Kratos

And before he and his son were going to travel into Jötumheim (Land of the (Frost) Giants) to scattered the ashes of his wife and as well as the boy's mother at the tallest peak; and before Baldur, before

"I'm sorry, Atreus, I can't tell you. I made a promise your mother before she died. Because I'll tell you when the time comes...

"You saw it before, do you...?" Jing, after Ragnarok about mention at the triple triptych from Loki's Shrine in Jötunheim.

"Yes..." Kratos replied.

"It was your wife, she did this to protect you and your son from this fate."

– Jing regards Kratos' old Greek Blades.

Several years later, Kratos had found the Blades of Chaos and brought them with him to the Norse realm, where he hid them, wrapped together in a thick red cloth with a simple Grecian pattern on it, under the floorboards of his cabin, hoping never to use them again.

During Kratos' debriefing before travel to Midgard, these blades were still bound within him during his exile and leaving his bloody past behind, he was unable to throw them away in Ancient Egypt before going to Nordic world.

The old Blades later return during the Norse Era in *God of War* (2018) as Kratos’ secondary weapons. Symbols of a shameful and particularly painful past, Kratos indeed swore to bury them forever, never to be used again. Although these cursed weapons have been replaced by the Leviathan Axe, the Spartan reluctantly carried them once more out of his love for his son, eventually saving the latter’s life.

##### Kratos Recovered The Buried Past

After Atreus falls deathly ill due to his true godly nature conflicting within himself, Kratos returns home to fetch these accursed blades in order to find the cure in Helheim. It also has the ability to wield the fires of Hel.

The former goddess and as well as Queen of Asgard and the Valkyries, Freya, helps and treated Atreus' ill that needed the Gatekeeper's heart at Helheim. Kratos feel responsibility and regret for cause his son about his godly nature that harms his health.

Learning that the main ingredient needed to treat Atreus was in Helheim—where the ice magic of the Leviathan Axe was useless due to the unyielding cold of the realm as no enemy can be killed with such a weapon—Kratos retrieved the Blades from their hiding place and grimly rebound their chains to his forearms in order to use them once more.

He traveled back to his home to get the Blades of Chaos as he was going to Helheim, and they would be necessary in order to save his son. Before along the way, the ghost of his pasts appeared before him who has traveled all the way from Greek into Norse, Athena, herself, appears silently before Kratos as he travels home to retrieve the accursed blades.

###### Brok's Sudden Interests at the Blades of Chaos

After getting the blades he returned to Týr's temple using the mystic portal near his home and Brok sensed he had the blades of chaos. Brok was intrigued and impressed by the blades of chaos and wondered where Atreus was, and Kratos told him he was sick. Brok thought it was the Aesir, but Kratos told him that it was his fault and his responsibility to make it right. When Brok commented over the fact that people need to take responsibility for their actions sometimes he wanted to help Kratos and asked if he could tag along. Kratos refused stating that the work he does in his workshops is enough Brok agreed, and he instead decided to keep an eye on Kratos.

After Kratos killed the bridge keeper troll Brok appeared to help Kratos he took the blades of chaos and managed to improve them so they could take the winds of Helheim. This allowed Kratos to use the winds of Helheim to operate some of the machines in Helheim making it that much easier for him to return to Midgard. After returning to Midgard, he also used the winds of Helheim to improve the mystic portals now making them go to and from. He warned them there would be some kinks to work out, but it would get them too Freya and he would be relived in seeing Atreus again.

##### Blades of Chaos' Elemental Abilities/Upgrades

As opposed to the ice-aspected Leviathan Axe, the blades give off the element of fire. Once upgraded progressively, the Blades change gradually in appearance, restoring the cracked Greek blades into a more Nordic style, adding Nordic glyphs similar to the Leviathan Axe.

These glyphs glow fiery orange when ignited, and small runes written in Old Nordic decorate the edges of each Blade. The hilts become gold in color and gain two slots on the skulls' eyes for Runic Attacks; one for light and one for heavy, while also allowing Kratos to change the pommels for different attributes. Kratos can also infuse the fire of his left Blade to his shield, before slamming it to his foes, dealing massive damage. The Blades, via a Runic Attack called Meteoric Slam, can summon a meteor shower of fire that deals Burn damage to enemies.

After meeting Brok in Helheim, the blades are also upgraded to temporarily channel the Winds of Hel.

Additionally, each upgrade was accompanied by an increasingly more intricate motif of a serpent or dragon just beneath the blade.

### Talon Bow (Atreus/Loki's Bow)

The **Talon Bow** is Atreus' primary weapon in God of War (2018).

The longbow was made out of a yew tree by Atreus' mother, who also taught him how to use it during their practice hunts. She made it larger than usual so he could grow into it. It's used alongside a quiver that holds the arrows.

During the journey, the Witch of the Woods gives the bow a magical string that can be imbued with the light of Alfheim to imbue its arrows with said light, which becomes useful in activating the Elves' light crystals to create solid light bridges. Much later, Sindri uses a tooth of the recently slain Hræzlyr to imbue the string with the Dragon's lightning power, which can also imbue its arrows with lightning to destroy blocking walls of crystallized World Tree sap. Atreus seems to enchant his arrows with spoken incantations that vary depending of the element he's using.

The bow can be continuously upgraded by the Dwarf smiths Brok and Sindri to increase the arrow shooting speed and the strength of the melee blows, and its quiver can also be upgraded to increase the amount of arrows it holds.

Besides shooting arrows, Atreus can use the bow as a blunt weapon when he gains confidence in battle, capable of knocking down, trampling and temporary holding his father's opponents. It's also the only weapon that can use Runic Summons. Besides assisting Kratos in combat, the Talon Bow's primary purpose is to distract the enemies.
