Thor with his hammer.
Thor or Thunor is the god of thunder in Theedish folklore.
Fiery eyed and red haired, Thor wielded the thrakes of the wind and the storm. As he rode the heavens in his goat-drawn wain, thunder and lightning shook the earth. Though he had these gremly whichnesses, Thor watched over both man and woman and his fellow gods, and fought against the fiends of the world's endbirdness. Among said fiends was the World Snake, louting in the sea's depth, and the atle frost ettins of Ettinhome, bodying the mights of topsyturviness.
The Norse (North Theedish Alltroth) saw the allworld as a stead of ongoing gainwending between the mights of endbirdness and topsyturviness. Often at the ruth of kindful happenings and the bewarpedness of man's behavedness, Sheddenish boors, shipwrights and craftsmen found Thor’s role as onlooker of heaven and earth strongly fair. Everyday-folk often called upon Thor for berg against the Odin-worshiping high-class. The folk saw Thor as strong and forthright, instead of fickle and mistiful like Odin. It’s not striking that of all the olden gods of Sheddeny, Thor was the one who was most widely worshiped.
One marked meeting between Thor and a frost ettin befell when the ettin Hrungnir came on unwened at the stronghold of Asgard while Thor was away in the east. After gulping down a lot of the god’s mead, Hrungnir began to boast that he would flatten Asgard and kill everyone other than the lovely Freya and Thor's wife, Sif, whom he would overnim. The gods reep for their shielder, who swept home on western wind with eyes ablaze, ready for dodrive. In the fight that followed, Hrungnir picked up a hulking whetstone and hurled it at his foe as Thor let fly with his great hammer, Mjollnir. The hammer blasted the whetstone into bits and flew straight on in Hrungnir’s head, killing the ettin where he stood.
