I do feel kinda bad for what I did to Thor. But I needed a likeable bad guy, and Thor fits that role well. If it's any consolation, Val's not any happier with him than you are with me :)
Odin's actually the God of War of the Norse Pantheon, but I didn't want to go there. Odin remains supreme (something that's touched on at xmas eve in the beta version), Thor got the Mantle of the God of War. And will... possibly... get a redemption arc. I'm a sucker for redemption arcs, as seen with Molly.
I *just* finished book 1; the latest beta (0.6.20) in Discord https://discord.gg/NQrQrht completes the story. It's still got typos, I'm still dealing with a good End of Book screen, and there's bugs I'd like to nail down. But 0.6.20 is (as of 2 days ago) the first time you could play the game from beginning to end of Book 1.
