History[]
Go for the Key to Hell[]
Odin along with his son Thor went to the Dreaming in an attempt to obtain the key to Hell that now belonged to Dream, he freed Loki thinking that his talents for deception could be a useful advantage in trying to negotiate with him.
Odin appeared before Dream and told him his reasons for owning Hell, all nine Norse worlds have fought over territories for millennia and sooner or later that will cause Ragnarok, he wants Hell because he thinks his territory will be large enough to stop fighting even for a while and thus keep Asgard safe for at least a few thousand years.
After Morpheus chooses the angels as the new custodians of Hell, Odin, Thor, and a gagged Loki leave for Asgard, Odin makes it clear that he is not angry about not getting the key and wishes Dream the best.
