The '''Norse gods''' are the main pantheon of deities in [[God of War (2018)|''God of War'' (2018)]], most of them are the overarching antagonists. They are one of most powerful races to inhabit the [[Nine Realms]] and are viewed as protectors of [[Midgard]] and [[Humans|humankind]]. Despite being the same race, the Norse gods are divided into two tribes, the warlike [[Aesir]] and the pacifistic [[Vanir]].

* In mythology Norse gods are said to only possess longevity instead of true immortality thus making them able to die of old age or die by non-divine means, however, they can extend their lifespan and stay eternally young thanks to [[Idunn Apple| Idunn’s Apples of Eternal Youth]]. Unlike the mythology, Norse gods in God of War universe are immortal to begin with. With the golden apples being made to be their favored food instead of their source of immortality. This is similar to how certain sources, credit the immortality of the Greek gods to be achieved by [[Ambrosia]] the divine food/drink of the gods.
  
  ⚫
[[Category:God of War (2018)]]
−
* Norse gods do not seem as powerful as their Greek counterparts, as they lack certain abilities such as size alteration, omniscience and projecting themselves through statues depicting them. For example, Baldur never finds out Kratos' true identity as a foreign god and the infamous Ghost of Sparta, not to mention his real name. He mistakenly believes Kratos is the jötunn Guardian. However, the most powerful among them have perform impressive feats comparable, if not rival the Greeks'. For example, [[Freya|Freya’s]] mastery over her seiðr magic allowed her to control the corpse of the mountain size jötunn [[Thamur]]. However, it should be noted that not all Greek Gods possessed great powers like size alteration but only the most powerful ones like Zeus, Athena and Ares and the fact that we haven't seen other major Gods. In ''God of War'' ''2018 ''Novel, Baldur was referred as strongest opponent Kratos has ever faced.

* Unlike the Greek Gods, the death of a Norse god doesn’t have a chain reaction to the world. The deaths of Magni and Modi didn’t cause an explosion or negative influence on the world. It could be argued that Fimbulwinter the three long winter preluding to [[Ragnarök]] was the consequence of killing Baldur, whereas the two sons of Thor were only Demi-gods.

* Even though the morality and mindset of the ancient Norse people were different than ours, their gods (specifically the Aesir) were mostly on the side of humanity. Here, however, the Aesir are warmongering tyrants with genocidal tendencies who are either ignorant of mortals or outright treat them as livestock, not unlike the Greek Gods. This is actually Justified in-universe, as this take on the mythology follows a written by the winners theme, wherein the gods make themselves out to be significantly more heroic than they actually are. But even then, how far this goes is pretty ambiguous, as so far most of what we know about them is told from the perspective of their enemies or people who don't like them. So only time will tell if the Aesir are really as bad as the [[Greek Gods|Greek ones]].

* So far most of them have only been referenced or mentioned, be it in-game or in supplementary material (or at best, are seen in drawings and murals). The number of Norse gods that physically appear and interact with [[Kratos]] and [[Atreus]] can be counted on just one hand ([[Mimir]], [[Freya]], [[Magni]], [[Modi]], and [[Baldur]]), or two hands if one also counts Atreus being [[Loki]] and [[Thor|Thor's]] brief appearance in the secret ending. While obviously more of them will appear and play a bigger role in the sequels, this does also have a justified reason in the story. After the events of <em>[[God of War III]]</em>, Kratos goes north and settles down to start a new life, no longer wishing to deal with any gods whatsoever and avoiding them at any cost. Unfortunately for him and his son, fate has other plans with [[Laufey|Faye's]] magical protective barrier revealing their previously concealed location, causing the death of Baldur thus triggering [[Ragnarok]] and Atreus revealed to be Loki, who will turn into the biggest enemy of the [[Aesir]]. And if the ending is any indication, it's only a matter of time before the other Norse gods find Kratos and Atreus...

* From what we've seen and heard so far, the Aesir of the Norse pantheon isn't any better than the Olympians of the Greek pantheon and are just as bad. Though it's worth mentioning that there are some legitimate reasons for this that stay true to the original Norse myth. According to the Aesir (and by proxy all Norse people's belief), it's more honourable to die fighting than from old age, disease or a mishap. Furthemore, the Aesir, despite their immense power are paranoid due to most of them being prophesied to die at Ragnarok. Odin, however, is actively trying to make sure this doesn't happen.

* In the previous games, the Greek Pantheon can change their size, communicate through statues, and their deaths ended either in a nuclear bomb-level explosion or they turn into flies that cause a world-wide calamity. The Norse Gods appear to be human-sized and for them dying appears to be normal as seen with [[Mimir]], [[Magni]], [[Modi]], and [[Baldur]]. However, it still causes [[Fimbulwinter]] which triggers [[Ragnarok]] years earlier than it has been prophesized.

* Compared to the Greeks who were on the melodramatic side, but relatively held back on the profanity, the Norse are less shouty but have a surprisingly colourful vocabulary. Essentially, as shown by Baldur, Freya, Magni and Modi, the Norse Gods act and speak more like modern-day people. Then again, flyting is an Old Norse art-form.

* According to Mimir, the Aesir are not bound by the rules of Valhalla as they do not require Valkyrie escort and are able to make their own way to Valhalla. However, when Kratos killed Magni, the latter did not come back to life, seemingly because of the Valkyries imprisonment. It's a likely result of Odin locking the gates of Valhalla, which also locks out the Aesir.

Aesir vs Vanir

The Aesir and Vanir fighting each other during the Aesir-Vanir War.

The Norse Gods are the Pantheon who ruled over Scandinavia, known colloquially as the Nine Realms of Yggdrasil. They are one of the most powerful races to inhabit the Nine Realms and are viewed as protectors of Midgard and Humanity.
