When the other Keepers decided to ask the Pantheon to empower the [[Dragon Aspects]] for their heroism against [[Galakrond]], Odyn was vehemently against it, stating that only titan-forged could be trusted to defend Azeroth.

The vrykul objected, and Odyn's adopted daughter, the titan-forged [[Helya]], tried to talk him out of it. Instead, Odyn transformed Helya into the first [[Val'kyr]] and ordered her to do the job for him.

After it is discovered that Helya has learned to turn Odyn's Stormforged Valarjar into [[Kvaldir]], Odyn decides that he has had enough of her games.

After Helya's defeat Odyn is freed from his entrapment within the Halls and expresses a desire to return to Ulduar to meet with his fellow Keepers.

Odyn gave up one of his eyes to a mysterious spirit that was described as "billowing up from the ethereal mists, shapeless, to surround the keeper in shadow", in order to see into the Shadowlands.<ref name="Legend of Odyn"/> Although vague, it has some similarities to [[Mueh'zala]]'s description in ''[[Traveler: The Spiral Path]]''. Besides being shapeless, surrounding Odyn in shadow is similar to how the lights from the torches and night sky in [[Zul'Farrak]] dimmed when the [[Sandfury]] called upon their loa in ''Traveler''. That Odyn gave up his eye to see into the Shadowlands, and Mueh'zala is a [[loa]] of death, is another possible connection. Mueh'zala may have been the being Odyn gave his eye to.

“Remember: Life is nothing without Valor.”

— Odyn

Odyn is one of the titan Keepers and is located in the Broken Isles. He rules the Halls of Valor, and was cursed by Helya to be trapped there along with his valarjar army. Despite this curse, however, Odyn could leave the halls in the form of a vrykul named Havi for long periods of time,[5] or under his true form in short bursts.

Odyn is worshipped by the vrykul as a storm god[6][7] and the king of the gods.[8][9]

History

Odyn is one of the titan-forged who were empowered by the Pantheon and thus became Keepers. He led the titan-forged armies against the forces of the Old Gods. He was imbued with the powers of Aman'Thul. Together with Tyr, he battled and defeated Ragnaros the Firelord and devised the final plan to bring down Yogg-Saron.[10] For his leadership, determination and courage, he was granted the title of Prime Designate, leader of the titan-forged on Azeroth, and was tasked with watching Yogg-Saron's prison and maintaining the Forge of Wills. Odyn gifted Hymdall with the Gjallarhorn, and if it is sounded, the Keepers are oathbound to answer its call, as it signals that the end times are upon Azeroth.[4]

When the other Keepers decided to ask the Pantheon to empower the Dragon Aspects for their heroism against Galakrond, Odyn was vehemently against it, stating that only titan-forged could be trusted to defend Azeroth. The Aspects were empowered despite his objections, and so Odyn took a section of Ulduar and raised it into the sky, creating the Halls of Valor, and in doing so relinquished his position of Prime Designate.[11] Odyn sacrificed his eye to Mueh'zala,[12] (an ally of the Jailer),[13] in exchange for the ability to peer into the Shadowlands.[14] When Odyn gazed into the Shadowlands, he saw the kyrian and was inspired by them to make something similar for himself.[15]

Odyn told the vrykul that those who died a worthy death in battle would have their spirits brought to the Halls and given new immortal bodies infused with the power of the storm to fight as his Valarjar, which Odyn thought would be better defenders than the dragons. In order to retrieve the spirits of the deceased, Odyn would need vrykul to volunteer to become Val'kyr - inspired by the Kyrian he had seen - and take those heroic vrykul spirits from the Shadowlands. The vrykul objected, and Odyn's adopted daughter, the titan-forged Helya, tried to talk him out of it. Instead, Odyn transformed Helya into the first Val'kyr and ordered her to do the job for him.

Helya nursed resentment against Odyn for thousands of years, until the day Loken, a Keeper who was being manipulated by Yogg-Saron, convinced her to turn against him. Helya used the same magic that had been used to lock the Elemental Plane to seal Odyn and his Valarjar army inside the Halls of Valor, and then decided to take vrykul souls in her new realm Helheim. Helya would be replaced by Eyir as the leader of the Val'kyr, and Loken would go on to steal Odyn's title of Prime Designate.[16]

Legion

Havi

Odyn in his vrykul form, Havi.

Legion This section concerns content related to Legion.

Odyn, still trapped within the Halls of Valor, has one of his Val'kyr rescue a warrior champion from the brink of death. This hero is not trapped in the Halls of Valor like Odyn and his Valarjar, and so Odyn names them the leader of the Valarjar in the battle against the Burning Legion. Odyn also tests class leaders several times. The first time in disguise as Havi in Stormheim to test their valor, might and will in order to judge if they are worthy of crossing the Gates of Valor, then in a duel in the Halls of Valor to judge if they are worthy of wielding the Ability paladin shieldofthetemplar [Aegis of Aggramar].

After it is discovered that Helya has learned to turn Odyn's Stormforged Valarjar into Kvaldir, Odyn decides that he has had enough of her games.[citation needed] 

Odyn, as Havi, was one of the order hall champions who met Khadgar and Velen at Krasus' Landing to discuss the Pillars of Creation.[17]

Odyn invites the Huntmaster of the Unseen Path to attend the Night of the Wilds, an event where the spirits of beasts of legend rise in the Fields of the Eternal Hunt.[18] He also tests the Battlelord of his Valarjar as part of an annual trial to determine the strongest warrior in the land.[19]

Trial of Valor

Odyn's Spear

Odyn's spear

In recent days, great heroes have arrived in the lands of Stormheim in the Legion's wake. Hoping that their might and determination could tip the scales and end Helya's reign, Odyn summons these champions for a final test, the Trial of Valor.[20]

Odyn seeks mortal champions to vanquish the ruler of Helheim his bitter nemesis, Helya, and secure his freedom.[21]

After Helya's defeat, the curse that bound Odyn to the Halls of Valor was at last broken. Odyn said that it had been ages since he last looked upon the halls of Ulduar and that perhaps he should visit his watcher kin.[22]

After finally slaying Helya, the Valarjar would also recover her horn, capable of commanding the legions of kvaldir who are cursed beyond redemption. Odyn commanded the Battlelord use the horn to direct kvaldir against key Legion targets on the Broken Shore.[23][24]

Battle for Azeroth

Battle for Azeroth This section concerns content related to Battle for Azeroth.

According to Valdemar Stormseeker, Odyn has heard about the Azerothian heroes' search for Inv smallazeriteshard [Azerite], and his vrykul forces have gathered what they could.[25]
