Chapter IV

Scattered and lost, the fleet is helpless. But in the midst of the darkness, the cold, the isolation, help has found them. Three monstrous beings appeared bearing riddles and knowledge - the three children of Loki.

They claim that this voyage has divided the gods. Some view it with displeasure, believing that mortals have not yet learned true humility. Others claim that mankind are beings of free will and deserve the chance to prove their worth by reaching their destination. Still others refuse to cast judgement, far too removed or uninterested to see the value in the debate. And then there is the opinion that cares not for one side of the argument over the other, but simply enjoys the chaos. And that opinion belongs to Loki.

He is interested in how the voyage ends, which paths will be taken and what end will be reached - if only to see how his fellow gods react. As is his way, he meddles. He has given the voyage his blessing and offers information. With his three children, he has given the Vikings three letters: L, S, and O. 

They can tell you what these letters mean, but first - a little game.

Because with Loki, everything is a game.

If you haven't joined yet but would like to, check out Chapter I to figure out how to create your Viking! You need to message me with a clan, a specialty, and a name - then you can join one of the crews below!

If you have any questions about the quest, prizes, or how it works, don’t hesitate to message me!



Loki has blessed your voyage! But you must play a little game to understand the information he has provided you with.

THE GAME

It's time to test your knowledge of Norse mythology! Below, I've provided a starting trivia question. The first Viking to reply with the correct answer to my trivia question earns an XP point. They must then ask a trivia question themselves! A different Viking will then reply with the answer to that trivia question and ask their own.

Loki's trivia question: Who forged Thor's powerful hammer, Mjolnir?

The rules:
1. All trivia questions must relate to Norse mythology in some way!
2. You can guess an answer and provide your own trivia question to keep the thread going, but you'll only earn an XP point if the answer is correct!
3. You must provide a trivia question with your answer - no question, no point (even if the answer was correct)!

Example:
Loki: Here's my trivia question!
Mango: Here's my answer - it may be right or wrong! And here's another trivia question!
Jormungandr: Here's my answer to Mango's trivia and here's a new trivia question.

PRIZES:
Each correct trivia answer with follow-up trivia question asked - 1 XP point
Participation (at least 1 trivia question answered and asked - does not have to be correct) - 10k points on an animal
BONUS: Posting the last trivia question before the deadline - 5 XP points

You have until 11:59 pm HP time on Thursday, June 3 to post your trivia answers/questions!

GO AND TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE, VIKINGS!
