Trivia[]
- The Shattered Gauntlet of Ages is actually a reference to the Infinity Gauntlet, specifically the incarnation seen within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, seeing as God of War (2018) and Avengers: Infinity War were both set to release in April 2018.
- Much like its inspiration with the Infinity Stones, the Shattered Gauntlet of Ages can house specific enchantments, and utilize their unique properties, whenever the Gauntlet is activated. These enchantments are:
- Andvari's Soul, as the Soul Stone.
- Asgard's Shard of Existence, as the Reality Stone.
- Eye of the Outer Realm, as the Space Stone.
- Ivaldi's Corrupted Mind, as the Mind Stone.
- Muspelheim's Eye of Power, as the Power Stone.
- Njörd's Temporal Stone, as the Time Stone.
