- Quotes
Erik: Why is it of such particular interest to talk about the old Norse gods? Especially right here in Edda? Gry?
Gry: Because Edda was the last town in Norway to become Christian. And to give up faith in the Norse gods.
Erik: Yes! That's correct. One could say it all happened right here. Ragnarok.
[writes the word on the blackboard]
Erik: The end of the world. The final clash between the gods and the giants. The Gods represented law and order and the giants chaos. The balance of the world depended on the struggle between them. But the gods were betrayed and died, and what happened to the Giants, we don't know. Kind of exciting, huh?

The newcomers. Well, not really. They left Edda, some ten years ago.
- Magne, the older of the two sons. Has difficulty reading, but wields a vicious hammer if needed. Also, seems to have supernatural powers.
- Laurits, the younger of the two sons. He is intelligent, but mischievous.
- Turid, their mother. Left Edda with her two sons when her husband died
The Jutul family. Jutul as in JUTUL INDUSTRIES. The main employer, and - as some suspect - the main polluter in Edda
- Vidal, alpha male. Boss of Jutul Industries, and God Emperor of Edda, or so it seems. Not averse to pagean rites.
- Ran, his very beautiful and very intelligent wife - Headmistress of Edda's High School
- Fjor, their son. Adored (supposedly) by all the girls in the school, but very worried about looking too old.
- Saxa, their daughter. Like Fjor, she is part of the "in" crowd. Blonde, attractive, of course. Like her mother. Looks like you'd only touch her with a ten feet pole.
Isolde: dark hair, smart, very much alive, and quite interested in why the water in Edda makes people sick. Or why the glaciers melt. in short: she is not "popular" at all. Except - with Magne. She has lost a parent, too. A girl to climb mountains with. Paraglider, too. Very dangerous. But, as Billy Joel used to sing: "only the good die young". YOLO.
Gry: not much to say from the first episode. Good looking. Kinda nice. On good terms with everyone, it seems.
Then, there is this odd couple, in their seventies (?). The seem to know more than meets the eye: Odin? struggling with his electric wheelchair, and Freya? warning Magne about climbing the mountain at equinox
I do wonder: is it only Magne and Vidal who feel superpowers luking within them?
