RAIN OF THE UNDEAD

The halls echo with whispers as Ragnarök approaches, an end-time foretold by ancient seers.

The Gathering Storm

  • “The world shall grow dark and the sky will rain death,”, declares Odin himself. As twilight descends upon Midgard (Earth), all of creation trembles at this prophesied end.
  • Jörmungandr, the World Serpent, rises from his watery prison to encircle Middle-earth with treacherous intent: an omen for impending doom.

HALL OF THE NOBLES

A battle cries echo through Valhalla’s halls as gods and goddesses gather their strength. Each mighty warrior prepares for the final confrontation that will determine fate itself, fulfilling ancient oaths of honour.

  • The sons of Mótsúnn slay Baldr with a poisoned spear: A grim moment marking the inevitable end of an era in Norse mythology.

THE FINAL BATTLE

“The wolf and the dragon shall meet at Midgard’s edge,” Odin prophesies, foretelling Ragnarök itself. Giants clash against gods as fire meets frost; a battle that will engulf all realms in destruction but also promise new life.

  • Bifrost shatters: The rainbow bridge connecting Asgard to humanity snaps under the strain of this great cosmic upheaval and its fiery wrath.
