The myth

Þrúðvangr, the fields of strength, is the part of Asgard where Thor lives; there stands Bilskírnir, the greatest hall ever built, with more than five hundred doors, according to Grímnismál. The name comes from þrúðr, strength, the same word that names Thor's daughter, Þrúðr. The myths tell of no falcon linked to Thor: in the sources the falcon cloak belongs to Freyja, who lends it to Loki. The Thunderhawk is a MYTHENOR creation imagining the hunting birds that fly the clouds above the god's lands.

Why it has this power

A level 4 Common with ATK 1250 and DEF 1000, one of the strongest common birds. Thunder element, under the Wisp, the lightning flash, and the Crown, the same as Thor's. A swift hunter that clears the way for the fjord's thunder cards.

Did you know

In Grímnismál, Bilskírnir has five hundred and forty rooms, and Odin calls it the greatest roof he knows.
