In response to this, where does Peorth fall in?  I heard her name is a 
Nordic rune.  If that's true, does anyone know what it means?  Also, does
 anyone else think that kami-sama is supposed to be Odin?  Urd did once 
steal his horse, Slephnir before, implying he is Odin.  What other charac
ters in Norse mythology do you people out there think it would be cool 
if they cameoed in AMG?
