Good theory.
It's worth noting that just as V and Tarshak parallel Thor and the Midgard Serpent, so too does Sliske and Guthix parallel Loki and Heimdallr.
Sure, Guthix won't be killing Sliske directly, but we do carry his blessing to this day. And whether it is our interference or him using the bit of power he stole from us, Guthix's power is likely going to be involved in Sliske's downfall (I'm hoping he doesn't die).
But then there's the most interesting bit. If all of these parallels are intended, who are our Odin and Fenrir (as well as Tyr, since he also apparently gets killed by Fenrir, and Vidar, Odin's son who actually kills Fenrir)?
There's also apparently a bit of the myth that describes the involvement of the fire jotnar of Muspelheim. We, of course, have a lovely little plane of fire in game named Muspell and have only just heard of the Queen of Ashes whose name indicates an association with fire.
