Sony's take on Baldur.

NorsePlay knows if the developers for the Norse installment of God of War had read Saxo Grammaticus' Gesta Danorum where Baldur's an antagonist instead, they could have more easily ratified their adversarial use of him. As it is, this article shows insights into how the pair of writers approached the lore and Jackson Crawford's academic perspective on the material in the game.

Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants at age seven. Since then he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the Map of Midgard project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay. If you have employment/opportunities in investigative mythology,  field research, or product development to offer, do contact him.
