They are successful as everything from coal miners to cannon fodder on the battlefield. If you’re able to defeat the village elder in a game of intellect, like chess, you pass Odin’s Trial. Some of the hipper elders accept games like Starcraft and Magic the Gathering. The Disciples of Odin are often thought to all be nerds, but actually they have significant numbers of geeks as well.
