Lore
Hodr is the blind god in Norse mythology, son of Odin and brother of Baldr. Tricked by Loki, he unknowingly fires the mistletoe arrow that kills his beloved brother Baldr, causing immense grief and setting the stage for Ragnarök. Hodr's blindness symbolizes innocence and tragic fate, manipulated by deception. In some tales, he fights at Ragnarök, representing unintended consequences and the sorrow of loss. Hodr embodies tragedy, the power of manipulation, and the inevitability of doom in Norse cosmology.
