Loyalties Muspelheim This leaves Atreus the Last known Frost Giant in all the 9 realms.
The plot of 2018's God of War follows Kratos and his young son Atreus as they journey to the highest peak in the nine realms to spread the ashes of Kratos' wife and Atreus' mother Faye, which they discover is in Jotunheim. The murals recount the story of Kratos and Atreus’ journey to Jotunheim, proving Faye knew what they would go through all along. Surtr's might is described as being so great that only his brother Ymir surpasses him (although likely very slightly and is possible that he far surpass him now due to his constant training) and during Ragnarök, he will be capable of fighting both Odin and Thor, the most powerful of the Aesir gods, at once. It also revealed that Faye was a giant, making her the last remaining giant in Midgard (aside from the World Snake) before her death, which also makes Atreus a half-giant. After the Giants assisted Týr with the construction of his temple, they requested an audience with Odin, one they hoped would reach a peaceful agreement between their races, but the Giants nonetheless exposed Odin's treachery when the Raven God set foot in Jötunheim, thus they banished him with their ancient magic and cursed him to never return. There were other types of Jötnar besides the Frost and Fire Giants. Loyalties NEXT: God of War Theory: Kratos’ Son Is Actually Evil.
