Norse mythology

In Norse mythology, the giants (jötnar in Old Norse, a cognate with ettin) are often opposed to the gods. They come in different classes, such as frost giants (hrímþursar), fire giants (eldjötnar), and mountain giants (bergrisar). Jotun are different from other giants, that they usually aren't higher than most 

humans. The English, in lacking a proper word to describe such creatures, made use of the Greek derivative 'giants'; in a similar fashion, ogres are called trolls in Danish.

The giants are the origin of most of various monsters in Norse mythology (e.g. the Fenrisulfr), and in the eventual battle of Ragnarök the giants will storm Asgard and defeat them in war. Even so, the gods themselves were related to the giants by many marriages, and there are giants such as Ægir, Loki, Mímir and Skaði, who bear little difference in status to them.

Norse mythology also holds that the entire world of men was once created from the flesh of Ymir, a giant of cosmic proportions, which name is considered by some to share a root with the name Yama of Indo-Iranian mythology.

I decided to face Gnome first, since he's the most annoying summon spirit. I was semi-farming Gald with the Mighty Oaks in Ymir, so my characters' levels have increased quite a bit...but I won't try to level grind or anything like that. 

Anyway, I controlled Arche in this battle, since she's really the only reliable way to damage Gnome. Cless and Klarth were used for interruption until she could cast Cyclone, the most damaging attack to use against Gnome. It still requires a bit of timing to pull it off though.

This is not the christianized version of creation. This has been long researched and like many tales, has most likely been embellished on over the years but it is                                        still a really cool story none the less.

I hope you enjoy.
