UNDERWORLD SCORES
NORSE MYTHOLOGY

[ June 17th 2008 ]
Spanish
video-game magazine Playmania is running a feature
on Tomb
Raider Underworld littered with pearls on
the upcoming Lara
Croft-helmed adventure. According to the magazine,
Lara Croft will uncover Mjolnir, the hammer wielded
by Thor in Norse mythology.
Thor
was the bearded God Of Thunder in Germanic paganism
and its subset Norse paganism. Mjolnir - the hammer
of Thor - was depicted as one of the most fearsome
weapons in Norse (Wikipedia). The hammer will
unravel clues to the location of Avalon, according
to a translation of the magazine on Tomb
Raider Forums.
Amanda
and Rutland are also reported to be reprising
their roles, their own adventures linked to an
oceanographic expedition through Atlantis in search
of Natla's floating prison. Mexico, the hidden
depths of the Mediterranean, Thailand and the
Arctic are also mooted as possible locations for
Lara Croft in Tomb Raider Underworld.
Eidos
has yet to announce any official storyline to
accompany Tomb Raider Underworld and remains tight-lipped
on speculation of this nature from video-game
magazines. Take all of the above with a pinch
of salt. However, more will be revealed very soon
when the publisher unveils a brand new official
Tomb Raider web site, possibly as soon as next
week!
