[quote=@Parallel Hearts] Oh, I see. Well, Bryn was banished before the end of the Age of the Gods for sure, otherwise Odin wouldn't be meddling in the affairs of the mortals as directly as he does in her backstory. Or at least I think this must be the case since you know... the Nasuverse likes to be vague about lots of things. [/quote] Hmm, that's a good point but it does make things a little bit iffy as far as Harald's backstory is concerned. He supposedly received divine guidance from Odin before all of his battles which allowed him to win decisively each time despite the fact that he lived in what should be the Age of Man, having been born in the 7th century. [quote=@Parallel Hearts] Either way what's certain is that Sigurd's story takes place around the the tail end of the 5th, to beginning of the 6th century. No matter how you look at it, Bryn was sleeping under Odin's curse for at least a few centuries before her beloved knight came to wake her up. Nevertheless, if Harald ever fought with Sigurd (as his backstory states) it's more or less certain that they would know one another. [/quote] That was a different Sigurd; Sigurd Hring, father of Ragnor Lodbrok. Harald was king of Sweden and Denmark during the 8th century, so after the time Brynhildr was still around and well after when she was still taking warriors to Valhalla from the sounds of it. [quote=@Parallel Hearts] Bryn was a really well known figure during that time, after all. Plus, her armor and spear are canonically made of mythril, a metal that doesn't exist on this world but anyone involved with Norse mythology probably should be able to recognize on sight. Brynhildr is really a super distinguished figure in the lore. [/quote] Harald would absolutely know who Brynhildr was, as I expect most vikings would, although given his current mental state it's likely a bit of a moot point. He's not a raving madman all of the time though, so maybe there will be some recognition there. Thanks for the input.
