Ragnarok
LOKI’S CHILDREN
Loki is tolerated by the gods, perhaps
because his stratagems and plans save
them as often as they get them into
trouble. Loki makes the world more
interesting but less safe... Loki and his
children will be there for Ragnarok, the
end of everything, and it will not be on
the side of the gods of Asgard that they
will fight.

• One night Odin the ruler of Asgard had a
dreamvision. In it the god saw a great
combat between the Asgardians and the
forces of darkness

• Loki's sons would play an important role

in this conflict.

• Odin saw the jaw of a huge wolf and then

his field of vision went completely dark

 THE DEATH OF BALDER
• Balder, the gentle and beloved God of truth and light, was the
son of Odin and Queen Frigg.
• His hall, Breidablik, was a place of solace and comfort for his
subjects in Asgard.
• Troublingly, Balder began experiencing gruesome visions every
night, predicting his impending death.
• To shield her son from these ominous prophecies, Queen Frigg
embarked on a journey across the nine realms, pleading with all
living beings not to harm Balder.
• Queen Frigg's grace and determination touched the hearts of
every being she encountered, from animals and elements to
plagues, plants, blades, and bugs, all of whom gladly promised
not to harm Balder.
• Upon her return to Breidablik, a grand feast was held to celebrate
Balder's newfound immunity.
• During the feast, the gods took turns testing Balder's invincibility,

poisonous serpent.
Here, Loki would remain chained until the
end of days—the serpent dripping venom
on his brow as punishment for dousing
Asgard’s brightest light.
 RAGNAROK: THE FINAL DESTINY OF THE GODS

It all begins with Fimbulvetr: three consecutive winters that will throw Midgard into chaos
Then Yggdrasil, the world tree, starts shaking, causing Fenrir to break his chains
Meanwhile in the ocean, Jörmungandr does a little wiggle, which causes Naglfar, the boat
made of dead man's fingernails, to break its moorings and set sail with an army on board.
The frost giant King Hrym, the fire jotun Surtr, and the entire population of Muspelheim all start
advancing towards it in preparation for the final battle.
RAGNAROK: THE FINAL DESTINY OF THE GODS
That is the end. But there is also what will come after the end.
And the game begins anew…
