    In Asgard
    - Egil Eirikson has encouraged Asgard's citizens to give proper worship to the spirits in Asgard, hoping to please them.
    - He has also further trained the civilians to the point that they are almost as good as the soldiers are in pure physical ability (20 Martial)
    - Unfortunately, Egil has also befallen an accident that has destroyed the defenses he set around the Observatory.
    - Asgard is restless as they have heard about the plight of the King and the Queen. Not many know Amora and are unsure about her rule.
    - Asgard is also shocked and scandalized that the young prince Loki is a Frost Giant. Many have defaulted to the opinion that he must have tricked Odin somehow or that Laufey has finally defeated Odin, by placing his son on the throne. Many are suspicious of Loki and his motives.
    - Sif has been more angry and hard on her Valkyrie recruits than usual. Many blame this on Thor's actions of leaving her with child, out of wedlock, and disgracing her by doing the same to another.
    - Osmond has built several labs in Asgard over the years.
    - Elym has built her own lab as well.

    Elsewhere
    - Nova Corps continues to spread its leadership and rule, systematically 'disciplining' planets in many different galaxies. The Kree and Nova have begun conflict.
    - On Titan it is said that none have seen their beloved leader, Thanos, in a decent amount of time. Not since the attack.
    - Surtur has risen back to full power, towering over the mountains themselves, as he prepares to lead Muspelheim to war.
    - At the same time, it seems that Thor and Surtur have done battle...and Thor was victorious, adding Surtur's shrunken head to his waist, as his trophies grow. No one knows where Thor has gone however, as he was enveloped in a Bifrost-like beam when he left Muspelheim.
    - In Midgard, their sorcerers and Wakanda continue their efforts.
    - Amora has been seen visiting Nornheim, specifically Karnilla. It was a short visit, and she left looking smug. Whispers are that the two do not like each other, and that Amora has done the impossible and one-upped Karnilla. Word of her becoming Queen of Asgard has spread, and many theorize that is what she is holding over her former teacher's head.

    I generally got carried away and derailed discussion to a comment about Egil doing what he done for Asgard not us. Which i apologize since I'm not personally against working with Egil.


    As said originally I'm for working with him on questions of common interest and don't mind helping out, also I'm okay with him teaching us , or Sygin dark magic for a price since it will be useful to us.


    My main point is that I'm against working with him on matters where our interests may clash and I'm against sharing everything Loki does with him. Some things are meant only for Loki's inner circle and people loyal to him.

    In regards to Egil why not befriend him until he becomes loyal to us? Our interests do actually align and us being a prince of Asgard means a lot for a guy loyal to said kingdom. It would be infinitely more useful to have a guy specialized in Dark Magic on our side rather than just teaching some bits to him.

    Let's face it, we aren't beating Thor in the sacrifice department and we shouldn't considering how he ended up. I believe that it would be in our best interest to gather more allies like Egil.

    Thor's child is crown prince of Asgard. Egil's loyalty would be to them rather than Loki, validly so even. I'd be confused if Egil was loyal to Loki and not Thor's children.
    There's no problem with befriending Egil, socials are good. We should also befriend Thanos.

    Also it didn't help that we kept our heritage secret only for it to come out at one of the worst times. This is why I wanted us to reveal it during a much better time of which there were plenty. Freaking called that we couldn't keep it secret forever.

    .... We could, I would've with Odin's backing when he was awake.
    coz if done without him being the public and declaring himself, ppl would have gone to the same conclusion of us putting Odin under our control.

    This is why I suggested we reveal it after Odin woke up and we passed the kingship back to him. It likely would have looked way better at the time and with Odin able to stand up for us and us having a stellar reputation. But as is it got revealed at a really bad time where Odin suddenly fell back into the Odinsleep which people aren't aware and Amora a person that isn't as known to the public taking over.

    So yeah, not revealing it when we had far better opportunities and the blowback wouldn't be nearly as bad bit us in the ass.

    This blow back wouldn't have happened had people used the second attack plan where most people were evacuated.
     
    Why do we care what Asgard thinks of us exactly? I mean I am not exactly happy they dislike us but they won't do anything, the only people I really care about are our friends, Torunn, Baldur, the rest of our family, and Sif since she is Torunn's mother.

    I might be forgetting something but I don't really think their opinion of us effects us all that much.

    It's pretty important since people wanna keep working on Asgard, so a bad reputation isn't exactly handy in such a situation

    [] Blah Blah
    - [] Osmond (Secondary)

    And so on.

    You can use the current people: Osmond.

    Loki has three actions as well to assign (Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary).

    If you have something to suggest, ask me about it and it may be written in.
