Mythological references and possible connection to the game

beheading

After the war between the Aesir and the Vanes, hostages were sent to the opposing camp to promote peace: Mimir and Hœnir for the Aesir, Freyr, Freya and Njörd for the Vanes. Feeling duped, the Vanes beheaded Mimir and sent him back to the Aesir. Odin , who knew magic, managed to revive Mimir's head through a mixture of herbs and spells. He thus placed his head under a root of Yggdrasil, the world tree, near the source of knowledge of which he became the guardian.

Mimir and Odin

One day, Odin wanted to taste this source to receive its powers. Mimir consented to this on the condition that the god remove one eye. Odin accepted and could thus become a god of wisdom and knowledge.
