The Death of Loftur



Ragnarøkkr - Old Norse Ragnarök is a compound of ragna, the genitive plural of regin ("gods" or "ruling powers"), and rök "fate" (etymologically related to English "reach"). Other spellings include Ragnarøkkr, Ragnarøk, Ragnarok (the modern Danish and Norwegian forms).

Jörmungandr, the Midgard serpent, and Loftur's other monstrous offspring will rise from the deep ocean bed to proceed towards the land, twisting and writhing in fury on their way, causing the seas to rear up and lash against the land. With every breath, the serpent will spew venom, staining the earth and the sky in poison.
From the north, a ship will set sail towards Vigrid, with Loftur, now unbound, as the helmsman, and Hel, with all those from her realm by the same name, as the deadweight.
Once on the battlefield, he will meet Heimdall, and neither of the two will survive the encounter.

"He leads to the birth of Ragnarok, but also provides the means to overcome it"
