The Aesir: Guardians of a previous age? (CD Spoilers)

(1/5) > >>

Mortax:
Okay, major CD Spoilers, so stop here if you haven't read it. :)

So there is a comment made in CD (For the life of me can't remember who and my book is on loan) that:
In our age, guardianship of the outer gates falls to Winter.

This implies that there have been other ages, and other guardians.

If that is the case, what about the Aesir?

Odin makes a comment in previous books to the effect that in this age his children have forgotten themselves.

What if Ragnarok happened, and that event was the changing of the gaurd, so to speek.  (Note: Ragnarok was not the end of all things, more like the turning of seasons and the end of the Aesir.)

That would explain Odin's understanding of the gates.  Could his missing one eye have been taken for the same reason Rashid only has one eye?  And if Mac is Heimdall.....

Odd theory that popped into my head at 1:00 am. lol

Edit:  It was Gatekeeper talking to Harry.

Ms Duck:
not too odd a theory, tis been around a bit before

Summer          Winter
Sidhe               Formor/Jotuns
Formor/Jotuns  Aesir

going backwards we also have some possibilities:

Olympians       Titans
Titans              Chtonics
Chtonics           Dragons

but odin IS zeus didn't you know? he just prefers to BE odin because we've made zeus into a laughable ass the past 20-30 yrs. arrogant, morally weak, incompetent. who wants to use a mantle that gives you those traits? he just keeps it on the back burner like harry did WK mantle in changes.
