• The Story of the Midgard Serpent (Jormungandr) Aug 10, 2025

  

  In the deepest trenches of the vast ocean that surrounds Midgard, where no light from the sun has ever penetrated and the pressure would crush mountains, dwells one of the most magnificent and terrible beings in all the Nine Realms. This is Jormungandr, the Midgard Serpent, whose massive coils encircle the entire world and whose tail rests in his own mouth.

  Jormungandr was not always the monster of the deep that mortals fear in their darkest nightmares. Once, he had been merely one of three extraordinary children born to Loki and the giantess Angrboda in the wild lands of Jotunheim. As a hatchling, he was no larger than any other serpent, though even then his scales gleamed like polished jade and his eyes held an intelligence that was both beautiful and unsettling.

• The Story of Loki's Children Aug 1, 2025

  

  In the wild lands of Jotunheim, beyond the reach of Asgard’s golden light, Loki the shapeshifter had taken a giantess named Angrboda as his wife. She was beautiful in the fierce way of the giants, with dark hair that flowed like a midnight river and eyes that held the wisdom of ancient forests.

  Their love, though born of two different worlds, was deep and true. But their union would produce children unlike any the Nine Realms had ever seen—children whose very existence would shake the foundations of destiny itself.
