Aha, that explains an issue I'd been worrying at for a while. I knew about Fólkvangr before, and that it was originally Freyja's domain - I didn't know that in-setting that had all been automated and handed over to the World Engine. (Which I should have suspected, but well... insert vague gestures towards the past couple years here.)

I can rest a little easier knowing Akio can't get at Corwin and company that way, at least.

Excellent writing and plotting as always, chief.
