Alvis the Dwarf Blacksmith

So through further research into Norse mythology I came upon a story about a Dwarf Blacksmith by the name Alvis. In the old story it talks about how Alvis crafted weapons for the Gods. In return the Gods promised that he could marry Thors daughter 'Thrud'.

Thor was displeased with this and devised a test of knowledge for the dwarf. He quizzed Alvis all night waiting until morning where the sunlight turned Alvis to stone - as it did all dwarfs.

For the concept of the game I had the idea that Thor would have been killed by the frost giants. His hammer destroyed but the player would come upon ruins of it through his journey. He would then learn of Alvis and his mythical abilities and find a way to cure the dwarf of petrification. In return he would ask Alvis to burn down these ruined parts of Thors hammer and meld it into his own sword - as Thors hammer was said to be the only weapon the giants were afraid of. Alvis would also jump on this chance to destroy Thors weapon as revenge for tricking him.

As such I plan to design Alvis as one of my character concepts as well as Thors broken hammer and the newly reforged main characters sword.
