Valheim
Summary
Usually , the player takes control of the hero of the story , and that seems to be the suit when it come toValheim , since the player takes control of a Viking sent by Odin after coming back from the idle . It seems as though the player is on a mission dictated by the loss leader of the Aesir Gods to kill and conquer the many biome scattered around this fresh land , but that is n’t actually the case . AlthoughValheimis never overt with its traditional knowledge , it is quite potential that it implies the player is n’t the zep they thought they were .
The basic premise ofValheimis that the realm is a prison house for the enemies of Odin ; cervid , fish , boars , and all . The most prominent of these enemies is The Forsaken , who the participant is tasked with slaying and mounting on the Sacrificial Stones . These are essentially the hirer of the game , such as Moder , the Ice Dragon , or the Swamp ’s Bonemass , and their imprisonment for the most part explicate the pre - existent cultures and societies of the prison kingdom , which the participant has basically come to destruct . A fan theory suggests that these actions are n’t actually larger-than-life .
Valheim has limited means of transportation throughout the game , but one discovered proficiency with a newfangled Ashlands arm can let players take flight .
A Valheim Fan Theory Suggests That The Player Is The Real Villain
And There Might Be Some Weight To It
According to a possibility byKhrispy - minus1on Reddit , the player may be the high-risk guy rope . The Forsaken are set about to re - link the realm ofValheimto the World Tree , Yggdrasil , so that they are no longer incarcerate , but it is implied that this is an impossibility since the World Tree will be ruin before that can happen . The player is tasked with slaying the Forsaken and assure that this does not happen under Odin ’s order . It seems like the Odin ofValheimis not the stately incarnation learn in theMCUbut rather nigher to the knowledge and mightiness - athirst deceiver meet in the Norse Myths .
In the Norse Myths , Odin is n’t exactly a expert man , having tricked many , many individuals to get what he wanted . The Forsaken might not be evil monsters , but they do bestow some bodily structure to the foreign prison house realmby go along syndicate aboriginal to certain biomes largely within those biomes . That is until the Vikings send by Odin come along , off the Forsaken to foreclose them from linking the realm to the World Tree and freeing themselves of their prison . rabble from multiple dissimilar biomesthen mix , cause topsy-turvyness and mayhem .
In the Norse Myths , Odin is more like Loki in that he often employ disguises to trick people . The Zeus - like portrayal of a noble , wise world-beater , which is n’t all that exact to Zeus either , is n’t straight to the myth .

Valheim Is A Cruel Prison Made By A Power Hungry God
He Fears The Forsaken
Valheimas a kingdom is quite a vicious place for everyone involved , not just the player character . Yes , there are time when a Viking will have to chain together Corpse Runs to get their inventory back after being bitten to end by a pack of hungry wolves , but this only works because many thing inValheimseem to live in a land of undeath . The Vikings themselves have already go , and that ’s the reason they ’re in the realm to get down with , but even the slain bosses will mouth if their head are mounted on a bulwark .
player can fight hirer again to have spare trophies , which can be mount on walls as decoration . They will notreceive more genus Bos powersby doing so , however .
Being slay in such a fashion is vicious enough , but then the Vikings conquer and pillage the realms that once belong to them , razing settlement , like the ace that belong toFulings , and stripping the solid ground of its raw resource to build admittedly cool mega - structures never before see . Although this is common for mythical Vikings in other medium , raiding and pillage prisoner who are already suffering is n’t all that expansive . Pair that with being under the order of a potentially cruel god , and it begins to paint the role player in a villainous light .

Their Status As Hero Or Villain Depends On Odin And The Forsaken
The player is often given guidance byOdin ’s ravens , Hugin and Munin , to well see to it their success , but their status as hero or villain does n’t really depend on them . The game present the Corvus corax and Odin as one of the few ally , outside of traders and a judging Thor , andslaying the Forsaken is the point of the game . There really is n’t any other main objective lens and the player is n’t break much option against this , so it all depends on whether Odin is correct in imprisoning the Forsaken and give up chaos to boom amongValheim ’s indweller .
If Odin is a cruel , knowledge - athirst god who wants to punish any threat , even if they ’re for the most part innocent , then the Vikings can be seen as the real villain . If The Forsaken are severe and malevolent in their own right hand , and their captivity forth from the World Tree is justified , then perhaps the Vikings are heroic warriors sent by a just divinity . What is n’t deniable is that the habitant ofValheimwill suffer , and chaos will flourish the further the role player scram into the game because of the Viking ’s actions .
