I wish I were a girl again, half-savage, and hardy, and free.

'The Subtle Knife' by Rovina Cai.

So excited for this game, and wanted to share my first thoughts.

Is the afterlife of the gods going to be something like the MCU's Void, a mix-match of gods from different pantheons each wanting territory?

The two antagonists we see are Begtse, the Mongolian god of war, and Sekhmet, the Egyptian goddess of war.

In Egyptian Mythology, Sekhmet was created to punish humans for no longer respecting him, but she went too far and nearly wiped them out.

In this universe, was she killed by Ra when he got a change of heart and she refused to stop and was sent here?

Are we going to see other slain gods from different mythologies?

Like Tiamat, Baldur, Izanami, etc?

We see two gods of war, and I can't help but wonder if we're going to see more of them, like they're the most aggressive of the bunch.

Which would lead Faye to see how much of an outlier Tyr was.

And ofc, are we going to see Athena in this, another war goddess and one of the biggest ghosts that haunt the narrative?

And if so, will this game not only be the focused on Laufey but opening up to the larger lore of the God of War universe?

This one hurt, her work had such a profound effect on my life, thoughts, and politics.

May her memory be a blessing
