Then I kept laughing for 15 minutes because he wrote the same thing about Skjöldr

ye old king of Denmark

So I was doin my scholarly shit. And abusing google looking up GOW character and seeing if they held any significance in Norse mythology. Some do actually, very excited for story writing. Then I did some quick research on the best mortal boy Skjoldr. He’s the king of Denmark, very nice, HOWEVER, apparently, he’s a son of Odin and I WHEEZED. I don’t think him being a son of Odin is even HINTED at during the game. 

it made chuckle at the thought that Skjoldr is only son of Odin who is fucked up in some capacity purely he doesn't know Odin is his father and Odin doesn’t know he has a son in New Midgard. So, is he technically a demi-god? Bruh his crush Thrud tho. I thought it was cute now I’m just like well shit bruh. 

From fanfiction writing POV, it would be interesting for Skjoldr to discover this part of himself, go on a whole ass journey, embrace this new part of himself, be a better king than Odin. And also get up to god-like shenanigans with his friends. Dam I wanna write it now, he doesn't get enough love anyway. Imma do it.

i tried to Google it but I couldn't find

what's an alderperson?

"Ellefolk" in Danish - usually translated as elves, but I don't believe that's an accurate translation. "Ellen" is the alder tree, and the alderfolk are known for living around alder trees.

The alderfolk consist of young maidens, young men, children, old crones, and a king. The young maidens and men are beautiful and fair from the front, but with backs like hollowed-out rotted tree trunks. They often try to seduce humans to enter the alder woods with them, or to join in their dancing. Humans who give in to them go mad and want nothing more than to return to the alderpeople.

The children are described as "green" (either in skin or clothing, the stories aren't always clear) and can be seen playing in fields, on hills, and at the edge of the forest. People may hear their laughter and song without ever seeing them.

The alder crone is an ugly and dangerous, but nurturing, matriarch with tits so long she has to throw them over her shoulders to not trip on them. In Danish folklore, she's the main target of the Wild Hunt, and there are many stories of people seeing the Huntsman carrying a dead crone or two by their hair.

The alder king is one of Denmark's ancient "lesser kings" (småkonger). Most lesser kings are people, like King Amlet or King Skjöldr. Some say the alder king was a human once too, or that he ruled alongside humans - but he is definitely not a human now. He's rarely seen, and when he is seen his appearance is usually indistinguishable from the Wild Hunt (except, of course, that the alder king never carries around a quarry of alder crones). The alder king on Møn is referred to as Klintekongen. The alder king on Stevns is referred to as Stevnskongen. I'm sure many more of them have individual names. They don't take kindly to other kings entering their domain, and have been known to obstruct the King of Denmark's tours around the land.

The alder crone and the alder king are always referred to in singular, even if there are dozens or hundreds of them. It's always "the alder king," never "an alder king."
