Little does the House of Odin know that Loki is neither Aesir nor a commoner. The strangest youth in competition for the crown? A lying, thieving, mysterious trickster known only by the name of Loki. The only story of Baldur is the story of how he died. You, I know, have been watching the newspapers and the television sets with respect to the so- called top kill action, which should take place sometime. Balder, therefore, must remain with the dead. Hela agrees to bring Balder back to life if it can be proved that everything everywhere mourns his passing, but 1 recalcitrant ogress refuses to show sorrow for Balder.

He was known as a very gentle god, but he was tormented by dreams of terrible things that shouldn’t happen. Loki convinces Hoder, Balders blind brother, to throw a mistletoe dart at Balder. Baldur the Good was beautiful and loved by everyone.

After one year’s time, the king will then spend a single night with each of the chosen youth in order to choose his queen. Baldur or Balder was the son of Odin and Frigg who owned the ship Hringhorn, the greatest ship in existence. All Aesir youth who are of age and pass the initial tests of beauty, virginity, and fertility are to be housed in the king’s harem where they will be groomed and trained for potential queenship.
