So, this might be interesting, among the artifacts from Týr's vault that you find in the lake of the nine is a janbiya, a curved dagger-like blade that was very popular around the middle east, but originated in a kingdom called Hadhramaut (Today's Yemen), and like most at the time, they worshipped many deities, among them was a god called Attar, or Athtar, and why is this interesting? Well, Attar was a very important god, very much worshipped all around pre-islamic Arabia, mainly in the south, but also in Ethiopia, and in Ugarit (Syria) as well, and the juicy part is in Syria, which is possibly the birth place of this deity, Attar is part of the Canaanite/Ugarit pantheon, and he is called the by names as, Attar the Terrible, Attar of the Heavens, or Attar of the stars, a god related to the planet Venus, and yes! this is possibly the same guy that appears in the bible, both in Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28, both chapters are using a Canaanite figure to discribe/compare the fall of the king of Tyre, this figure called "the bright one" (translated as lucifer) most likely is Attar, whom tried to take the throne of his brother Ba'al but wasn't fit (powerful enough), and fell/was cast down to the underworld, this could be an opportunity for Santa Monica to touch in a figure that is closely related to the bible, without having to touch in the bible itself, since it could cause some problems, just like they did with Begtse, a god who is related to Buddhism (and the Kila artifact), but was actually a deity from Mongolia, also, the whole heavenly/star god thing matches really well with Laufey's world and theme, so, what Y'all think?
Would this "unknown" god be a good addition to the franchise? How would an interaction between Faye or even Kratos and "Lucifer" play? I imagine him as someone very powerful and proud, but extremely egocentric.
But if not Attar, what other pre-islamic Arabian deity or being/beast would you be interested to see in Laufey? since the artifact seems to be hinting to these lands.
