DLC · playing as Eivor / Odin
Dawn of Ragnarök and The Forgotten Saga
In this chapterEivor discovers that Baldr orchestrated his own death to survive Ragnarök.
In Dawn of Ragnarök, Eivor becomes Odin and travels to Svartalfheim to rescue Baldr from the fire jotunn Surtr. She discovers that Baldr planned his death to survive Ragnarök. The Forgotten Saga is a roguelike, in which Odin faces Hel in Niflheim in an attempt to bring Baldr back.
The DLC moves the story fully into myth. Eivor's role as Odin is not a metaphor but a literal fight in a reconstructed Norse world. Baldr's secret is a story about fate: even the gods cannot avoid the cycle, so they try to cheat it.
