Do we know for certain that Odin started the Dwarf Prophecy?

...but then what's the functional difference between Loki and Odin delivering the prophecy? That's like saying I think Belkar isn't Belkar, but a different halfling who looks and acts just like Belkar. There's no real meaningful difference there.

Functional? Probably none. Just a different flavor.

Like I said, I believe that the pieces are place such that the Odin and Loki narrative can easily be the case. But that doesn't mean it is the case. And it doesn't really change anything even if it is.
