(everything you are about to read is literally what happens in the lore) so a long time ago, there was a war with some gods, that sparked off because asgard hired a seeress and got hella rich off that. they got greedy and shit, as you do, and so tried to burn and kill the seeress becuase they blamed her for everything. they tried this a few times, but because she might be the goddess FREYA, that shit didn't take so that's what happened, a war got fought, some people got exchanged and moved then peace was made, and during the treaty signing, all the gods spit into a pot. becuase god spit is clearly all-powerful, none of it got wasted, and it was made into the wisest god ever so this wisest god ever, he roams around being chill and shit, answering questions. he goes from place to place. in one place, 2 dwarves hear of this. they're like "yeah bro, wanna come over to our castle?", and the wise KVASIR is like "i totally will, despite already knowing you want to kill me". so they kill him, because god magic. they drain his blood into vats, then mix that blood mead from honey, and throw in other dank shit. this mead this brew is so damn good it makes poetry happen. this makes them rich and famous, and well known. they entertain guests, and some giants come over one day, and so everyone goes on a boating trip. the giants sort of drown to death. woops fast forward in time. the dwarves wake up tied in a boat, right in that same spot. the 2 giants that drowned had a kid, and he's pissed and wants some revenge. the dwarves are just like "oh fuck. just take everything!". the giant takes everything, especially this dank ass mead they brewed. now, the giant is the one to get famous day by day. people talk about him, and things eavesdrop on that talk. you want to know who? ravens. would do ravens talk to? the stone-cold badass ODIN. he hears about this dank mead, and he wants it too. first step, order the gods to build vats, buckets anything to hold liquid second step, ODIN goes out into the world with a farming scythe, a drill, and a sharpening stone. with the scythe, and the sharpening stone, he tricks several giants into mutually decapitating each other. at the same time. who did those giants work for? oh on! its the brother of the giant who has the mead! he's lost all his farm workers! how the fuck is this guy gonna get the work done? ODIN sneaks in under a fake name going like "yeah, i can do your fieldwork this season". the giant says yes, he doesn't have much choice. ODIN spend a year being the best damn fieldhand ever, the growing season is great. the giant is like "holy shit, what do you want as a reward?". ODIN is like "what's this i hear about some dank ass mead your brother has?". so the 2 of them swing by the house of the giant who has the mead of poetry. he's like "fuck you, you can't have any", and the 2 leave at this point, they arrive at the idea of breaking into where the mead is stored, so the giant points out a mountain with a vault buried in it ODIN hands this giant the drill and says "let's do this", and the giant drills into that mountain right down. he's like "there's nothing here, bro", but ODIN is like "keep drilling". so, he drills a second time and pops a hole into the facility. as ODIN is leaning to look into this hole though, the giant tries backstabbing him with the drill, but ODIN is like "lol, bullshit nothing is there", and transforms into a snake to slither down into the vault there's a giantess there guarding the goal clearly, the best plan of action is to disguise himself as a male giant, walk up to her and go "hey baby you want some fuck?". it turns out, she does, and some fuck they have. it turns out this vault has lots of little doors and windows to the outside. then they fuck some more eventually ODIN plays emotional on her, tugs her heartstrings around, and gets her to say yes to him getting one single sip of the mead of poetry (repeated attempts of fucking and crying). he doesn't take one sip. because he's a god, he guzzles up the whole thing. all of it. he fucking books it out there, but locks the giantess in the vault. lol. he flies home to asgard, the giant who had the mead is pissed, and chasing after him. ODIN kinda shits mead of poetry into the giants eyes, which is where shitty poetry comes from ODIN lands, regurgitates all of the mead into all of the containers they have. that's how the mead of poetry was made, and came to be in the hands of mankind. TLDR: ODIN: "hey bby want some fuk?"
