@plotinus_enjoyer @KarlDahl @wingedhussar @yockeypuck @cowanon @Omega_Variant @doctorsex @BowsacNoodle @poastoak I think that's very easily proven. As a staunch Norse historian I recognize their religion led them to much bravery, but also infighting. Christianity has that as well, but the Pagans would steal from you and then feel like that wasn't honorable so they'd return and burn the place to the ground (see: Egil's Saga).

Odin had a very dual nature and was really only worshipped by Jarls, chieftains and petty kings. Treachery was built into his pathos despite the teachings of the Havamal. It's why common soldiers wore Thor's necklace and not something like Odin's ravens or spear symbols.
