Origin & History

Odin and his two brothers Vili and Ve tried to take down Surtur after they had finished taking down the frost giant, Ymir. When they go there, they tell the fire people that they have come to learn the undiscovered. Odin asks Surtur if it's true that he would one day destroy the nine worlds. Surtur answers him yes and explains how he shall do it using his Sword Of Doom and the Eternal flame. Odin remarks back "Wouldn't it be better if the flame was taken out and the sword broken?". Surtur then returns saying "The flame cannot be extinguished but they could try to break his sword". Surtur would then slam his fist on the ground as demons started to come from all corners. Then the brothers Vili and Ve would summon the raging storms of the arctic to stop the demons. It worked and started to freeze them.

Next the three brothers joined into one to battle Surtur. As the battle continued, they discovered they weren't able to best Surtur, so they made one final blow which broke Surtur's sword. Vili one of the brothers states it to be a victory while Odin simply says that he will come after them. Ve then would cut down the flame of destruction so that even if Surtur were to reforge his sword he could not kindle it with the flame so that the world wouldn't end. Odin then starts to run to the portal to the nine worlds then releases his brothers who aren't following. One of the brothers says that if they go Surtur shall follow, then suddenly as Surtur emerges from the brimstone lake, a blast would come knocking Odin out of the realm Muspelheim and knocked him out as well. When he had awoken, the entrance to the realm was gone and he had the combined powers of his two brothers, as well as his own, which created the Odin Force; however, he was aware that his brothers were dead.

Odinsleep

Once a year the king of Asgard, Odin must enter a deep sleep to renew his godly powers and extend his life. If Odin exhausts his powers before the year is up or sustains serious injury he is sometimes forced to enter the Odinsleep early to heal and restore his powers. If Odin does not enter it his godly powers weaken and he becomes very vulnerable. Waking Odin during this time is usually unwise due to the serious nature of it. His powers will not be fully restored should he be woken early and it could even threaten his life. The length of the Odinsleep is usually a day, but depending on Odin's state upon entering it can be much longer.

Asgard is especially vulnerable during this time without Odin's power to protect it and Odin's own vulnerability. Odin is always under heavy guard with his room warded by powerful magics. Asgard often finds itself under heavy attack during these periods and relies heavily on Thor for protection. Many times a crisis is averted only by Asgard's defenders holding out long enough for Odin to awaken and deal with the threat himself.

When in possession of the Odinpower Thor requires the Odinsleep as well under the same conditions as Odin. Odin is the only Norse god and skyfather that is known to require this form of renewal.
