Oh, the chaos of Fimbulwinter and the captivating cast of God of War: Ragnarok! In the midst of all the frenzy, we can’t overlook the incredible contributions of Durlin, the official of Svartalfheim. This dwarf may have had a modest role in the blockbuster release, but his tenacity, intriguing lore, and marvelous appearance make him deserving of a much larger presence in the next installment of the God of War series.
Durlin is a dwarf like no other, boasting a unique appearance that reflects both his character and culture. With his stout stature, long beard, and braided monocle elegantly wrapped around his eye, he’s a sight to behold. Durlin’s deep brown skin proudly showcases his heritage, while multiple scrolls securely tied to his body emphasize his wisdom. But what truly sets him apart is his loyal and mesmerizing Kraken pet, Dinner, perched on his shoulder. Though his role may have been small, Durlin’s impact on God of War: Ragnarok was tremendous, as he played a part in the fight against Odin.
Joining forces with Lauretta The Just, Durlin and the dwarves orchestrated a courageous uprising to resist the powerful Aesir. They even crafted a hammer, which later became the symbol of the Dwarven Resistance. Unfortunately, their efforts fell short, and the Aesir ruthlessly crushed the rebellion. Durlin faced severe consequences, with his hammer confiscated by the Aesir and his head set ablaze by Heimdall as punishment. In the game, players encounter Durlin when Kratos and Atreus seek answers from the enigmatic Tyr on how to stop Odin.
Sindhi, the wise dwarf, calls upon gamers to seek Durlin’s aid, eventually leading to a map that guides them to Tyr’s Temple. With Odin hunting the God of War, Durlin’s flame of resistance ignites once again, and he tasks Kratos with the mission of finding the Lost Forge Hammer to inspire solidarity among the dwarves. When Kratos retrieves the hammer, Durlin wields it with renewed vigor and purpose, using it to fend off Odin’s attacks on his city. The dwarf’s refusal to be defeated by beings more powerful than himself captured the hearts of God of War fans, as he stood up for his people with unwavering determination.
This pattern of relentless fighting aligns perfectly with the God of War aesthetic, where players are accustomed to arduous battles in pursuit of triumph. With an expanded focus on Durlin’s lore, the next game in the franchise could potentially uncover long-standing mysteries and provide answers to lingering questions about the overarching plot, including his connection to Kratos’ wife, Faye. Durlin’s experiences as a rebel leader could prove invaluable to Kratos and Atreus in future quests, as his keen strategic mind and extensive knowledge of the Nine Realms could help them overcome challenges and unearth hidden secrets. Additionally, his exceptional craftsmanship could aid the father and son duo in forging exceptional weapons and armor.

But it’s not just his skills and background that make Durlin deserving of a more prominent role. His strong emotional connections to the main characters, awe-inspiring design, and potential for unlocking the lore make him an ideal candidate for further exploration in future installments of the franchise.
So, let’s raise our glasses, or perhaps even a hammer, to the marvelous dwarf, Durlin, and eagerly await his expanded presence in the next God of War adventure!
