In honour of the upcoming Theros set, we have a top-down design challenge based on Norse/Viking Mythology (can include any and all scandinavian mythology - Norse/Swedish/Finnish/etc)
I made Hero's Hammer.
Added Wolf-Eyed Raider.
I'm not proud of the second one.
Helheim Fat Cat Loki's Seduction
dwarves, anyone?
You got it. One Master Scrapsmith for all your dwarfing needs.
i see Norse dwarves as red/black. also some haunt ppl in their dream/nightmare.
In the majority of the stories they appear, they have a tendency to be master blacksmiths. That isn't to say they can't be avaricious or selfish... and there is a connection between them and Giants in Norse myth, which are clearly more red/green. But what's with the haunting in nightmares stuff? Does that come from somewhere?
Personally I think they are more Blue/Black - master craftsmen who think only of their craft, themselves, and gold - not necessarily in that order. They do have some white aspects - very strict rules and contracts, and some red which they are careful to make as ambiguous as possible so they have more leeway and some red - payment RIGHT NOW up front, no refunds, don't get them angry.
In Magic they have historically been red tying in to their mountain homes.
D&D style Dwarves I see as Red/White/Blue
Norse mythology definitely Blue/Black in the main.
But then, that is only my personal view and the Dwarves in my Aerikal block are Red/Blue master smiths and grudge bearers who neither forget or forgive a slight. They are also about individual battle prowess hence Warriors instead of Soldiers.
I couldn't resist making Christmas Goat, but I put it in cards with no home, as it's indisuptably scandanavian, but wouldn't fit into a norse set :)
Added Ulfberht.
