The Dark Asgard Chronicles
The Dark Asgard Chronicles is a series that presents an alternative to the benevolent Asgard documented in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Inspired by Chronicles of Gor by John Norman, this Thor fanfiction follows the story of Loki and Thor. An upside-down Asgard exists where morals are subjective and traits like greed and hedonism thrive. In this tale, Asgard is the most powerful of the Nine Realms and controls the slave trade.
Throughout the series, the adopted brothers’ tumultuous relationship rocks and rolls like a ship upon turbulent ocean waves. Their commitment to each other is threatened by struggles for the throne and squabbles over slaves. It doesn’t make it any better that they each have a parent in their corner, vying for a winner. While Loki loves his brother, he is his mother’s light, and she doesn’t hide her disdain for her other son. Thor is intoxicated with his younger brother’s wiles, but has their father nagging in his ear and thrusting him toward a responsibility he may never be prepared for.
The princes aren’t the only ones facing a struggle. The courageous Brunhilde, leader of the Valkyries, tiptoes on a thin line in a male-dominated world. She lives to protect the throne, committing her virtues and purity to it. However, for over five hundred years, the God of Mischief has been wearing on the fortified wall protecting her values. Someone will break eventually. What happens when they do?
Join the royal family in this tale of wealth, treachery, dominance, greed, chauvinism, and debauchery. See them move around boards and shuffle cards to rise above while making others fall. Slaves aren’t the only ones with their backs to the whip. No, the free also struggle with a bondage far greater than slaves. Staying on top of the ladder presents a wobbly seat from which to view the world. So, tell me where you would like to sit. Will it be comfortable?
