I haven't been following this, so I agree with Bill Hiatt. I would need a character glossary for this. It is fascinating, but without the background, it is hard to get invested in the characters.
Methinks the gem be ill-omened. How many have died for it already? Or is it just the reflection of the avarice within their own hears.
A fascinating piece, as always.
A suggestion: Readers who may not yet have read the entire Tales of Pangaea might benefit from a character glossary (which could be a page somewhere on your site). This isn't as necessary for some of the episodes that revolve around major mythological figures, but it definitely would help with something like this, given the number of different factions in play. That said, some of them, such as the elf king, have enough background in the episode itself to be easy to figure out. Others are a little more complex.
Okay, I will look into doing a full character-glossary for the Olympnomachi, and then go from there towards working on one for every individual tale I've written thus far. Good advice, just the sort I needed so that I deeply appreciate your wise counsel.
And yeah the Gem is ill-omened, and destined to bring down more death, destruction and tragedy even as the conflict over it mushrooms beyond Dvalin and Valderian's imaginings.

Alright, fair enough gonna work on that, thanks for weighing on things Maryh.

I'm glad you liked it.
Loved it, actually. This part feels like a modern Prose Edda. It’s very hard to do that kind of thing.
Oh thanks, I’m very flattered as Prose Edda is one of my favourite books of all times and biggest sources of inspiration for my books/stories.
