Pt 2: The end of the age of the Vikings
Thor was among the first. When some of his worshippers turned to ransacking defenseless monasteries, regardless of the fact the Christians performed similar acts of treachery, he began first to warn his followers, and then to withdraw. He had become closer to humanity than most of the Gods would ever allow themselves, and so he refused to allow them to perform atrocities in his name. Through his devices, the beginning of the end approached, when the compact of the gods dictated most of the great pantheons would cease actively seeking worship on Earth, and many withdrew entirely.
As Thor drifted apart from his followers after becoming so close to them for a time, he sought to fill the empty place in his life. He found it in battle, warring against the enemies of the gods with a ferocity few had ever seen. He was relentless in this quest, but it never brought him the satisfaction that being a child of two worlds had, and when his deeds affected the land of his mother, serving as one of its protectors, even if it was often from afar.
When the weeks of venturing into enemy territory, followed by nights of wild revelry did not prove enough to still his thirst for adventure, he went further still, until the Giants became so afraid of the Thunder God that they sought a compact with Odin to find peace for a time. Believing them treacherous, Thor ignored it, waging his war as ever before.
