Ragnarok

=== What is Ragnarok?

===

Ragnarok is coming.

The severed head of Mimir has foreseen it.

Ragnarok is the end of the Nine Realms. Destruction comes when the elemental realms of fire and ice, Muspelheim and Niflheim, from which creation came converge upon the worlds and wreak death. Loki, child of Chaos and Muspelheim's flames, has sensed it too, and will do everything in his power to make sure it succeeds in destroying everything. Even gods can die, when Ragnarok comes.

=== Fimbulwinter

===

The prophecy of Ragnarok also speaks of Fimbulwinter, the long harsh cold in which every god who is not loyal to the forces of destruction and Loki, and Heimdall, will gradually fall into a deep sleep from which they cannot be wakened until Heimdall the watcher of the gods sounds his horn to signal the coming of Ragnarok.

=== If you are a Lokiling

===

Loki created you with the purpose of destroying the Nine Realms as swiftly, painfully, and completely as is divinely possible.

Many things can aid the demise of everything: persuading allies to your cause and strengthening them for the final battle to come, or weakening your enemies before the last strike. General mischief never goes amiss. And if the cosmos can be rearranged to pull Ragnarok closer... why not?

If you are a godling

The gods created you to fight against Ragnarok. It's coming. That's already carved into the fate of the universe. But HOW it happens is not set in stone, fire or ice.

Not everything has to die: you can set up protection for what you want to save. You could buy yourselves time to prepare and keep yourselves and the gods out of immediate danger. You could try to keep your allies loyal, and make your enemies weak or favourable to your cause. And you can try to stop Loki and his Lokilings from setting everything aflame.

You all have another responsibility as well. When Fimbulwinter comes and the gods fall asleep, you will be the stewards of divinity and the Realms.

Remember

Ragnarok is coming.

Lokilings and godlings were made to fight for and against its total success. But of course, with your free will, you can choose in what way you want the worlds to end.

Good luck.
