OP here. What a terrible thread this turned out to be. I've not even been the one bumping it, so there is a demand for this... Just no delivering.

The reason there isn't that much on the internet is because there isn't that much of Norse anything. They weren't exactly known for there great record keeping skills or artwork. Most of the history about them is based off of other cultures that encountered them. Like the Romans. Same with artwork.

Actually, the Norse had a very extensive culture with many oral and written works handed down through the generations. The problem occurred when the Christians invaded Scandinavia and had all non-Christian stories that referenced the old mythos either censored heavily or destroyed entirely. Very few things survived the Christian purge. Almost the only things you're going to find circa the Viking Age and before are the Runestones and items that archaeologists dig out of tombs.

OK, retyping this as it died the first time: My first picture, which I forgot to give the story to, is the binding of the wolf Fenrir, the embodiment of Chaos, at which Tyr lost his hand. The Gods tricked Fenrir into allowing himself to be bound, but as insurance he demanded that one of the Gods put his hand in his mouth. None of them were willing to do it except Tyr, the god of Order, Law, and Right Practice. He lost his right hand. Fenrir will eventually escape and slay Odin, and he and Tyr will slay each other at the same time during Ragnarok.

This picture is a picture of Thor battling Jormungandr, the Midgard Serpent. During the battle, Jormungandr will poison the sky. Thor will kill Jormungandr, but will fall dead after taking 9 steps. All of this is during Ragnarok.

Another of Jormungandr from the original manuscript. Thor caught him when he was fishing. From the picture, it appears Thor was fishing with a goat's head for bait...someone really ought to tell him that a goat's head isn't that appetizing to fish...

Also I had to pad this one width-wise before the forum would let me post it.

Anyway, I need some shuteye. Before I go though, I do know I remember in /hr/ there was a plain black vector of Mjolnir (Thor's hammer) around 5000x5000 or so. If anyone has that saved it'd be great if you could post it.
