Old Norse Spells And Enchantments

The exception to this at the top of my head is Fafnir who played mind games with Siegfried before Siegfriend well, stabbed him in his weak spot. There actually is an academic paper on this but I can't remember the name or the academic value of it. Dragons in Skyrim are for the most part considered as monsters, which I fully agree on.
However, I was more referring to Alduin, which in the game is referred to as the God of Destruction. There are four dragons mentioned in Norse Mythology.

Fits oral myths really. The fourth one has a name that remains unknown. Only the description of the dragon remains, and it was killed by Frotho, a Danish king. Sounds alot like Numinex from Skyrim, don't you think? Originally posted by:I don't ever recall dragons in Norse Mythologies ever being gods as they tended to be attack dog monster things.

Hi, i made suchlike research, but i was finding simmilarities between real(viking) architecture and skyrims.1. Pevensey castle in UK build 500 years before viking age build by ancient romans - it was obviously inspiration for skyrim forts2. This church was build near after viking age, when christianity came to scandinavia- it reminds me architecture of whiterun3.
Vikings longhouse was apparently inspiration for Jorvarrkr in witerun4. Another viking house- looks close to skyrims5. This is tratitional russian log house, log houses have roots in slavic coutries but in scandinavia as well- looks like riften houses6. Viking hut- it reminds me huts from skyrimMy concusion: Although skyrim is not officialy vikings mythology (just inspired) -architecture captured many inportant features of vikings/ scandinavian houses but as well slavic log houses(riften) and romans (forts). Indeed, Norse mythology has in many ways shaped what we today know as fantasy. In my opinion, Shor, the Nordic counterpart to Lorkhan, bears a greater resemblance to Odin, while Talos is more of a combination of Thor and Alexander the Great. Talos amulets bear a passing resemblance to Thor's hammer pendants and he is often referred to as the protector of Mankind like Thor.
Ayyappa temple opening dates 2019. The gods of the Elder Scrolls always fascinate me. The nine divines in particular. Akatosh is essentially the Greek titan Uranus and a Chinese Dragon god. Kynareth is Freyja and Athena, Arkay and Stendarr mostly resemble the Judeo-Christian god 'defend the weak, love thy neighbor, slay all wicked things'. Julianos is most like the Egyptian deity Thoth, god of wisdom. I could go on, but I think I have rambled enough, I just love analyzing the Elder Scrolls series.
