• The Story of the Ship Naglfar Aug 9, 2025

  

  In the darkest depths of Helheim, where the dishonored dead drift through eternal mists and the light of living suns never penetrates, there exists a harbor unlike any other in the Nine Realms. This is the Náströnd, the shore of corpses, where the waves that wash against the black sand are not made of water, but of the sorrows and regrets of those who died without honor.

  It was here, in this realm of shadow and despair, that the most terrible ship in all existence was being constructed—not by skilled craftsmen or divine beings, but by the inexorable process of death itself. This vessel was Naglfar, the Ship of Nails, and its completion would herald the beginning of the end of all things.

• The Story of the Wolf Skoll and Hati Aug 8, 2025

  

  In the time before time, when the gods first set the cosmic order and hung the lights in the sky to give illumination to the newly-formed realms, they created a system of such perfect balance that day and night would alternate in eternal rhythm, bringing light and darkness to all the worlds in their proper measure.

  Sol, the radiant goddess of the sun, drove her golden chariot across the heavens each day, her magnificent steeds Árvakr and Alsviðr pulling her blazing orb from east to west. Behind her, at a distance measured by divine design, followed Máni, the gentle god of the moon, in his silver chariot drawn by swift horses whose hoofbeats marked the passage of time itself.
