Loki has made a few modifications to the “wussy” version of golf so popular on Midgard.
– Glacial cravasses on hole seven.
– Life-threatening lava pits on hole 13.
– Red dragon on the final green.
75% of people who play Loki’s course are either killed or severely wounded, which leaves Odin looking for the green to tee off.
Odin and Thor continue to float above the plain of Vigrid and dream about the great final battle, when suddenly they are interrupted.
Vigrid, the ultimate field for the ultimate battle. Odin warns Thor not to be distracted by the idyllic setting… Vigrid is here for one thing and one thing alone, apocalyptic war!
But Thor kind of likes the idea of dying a horrible death in a bed of flowers.
In Norse mythology, the Norns control the destinies not only of man but of the gods and universe itself.
So helms off to them for setting up a sweet location for the big battle in which the entire world is destroyed.
Kicking off a few weeks of adventure in which Thor and Odin visit the battle plain of Vigrid, fated location of the Ragnarok final battle, and discover not all is what it should be.
Vafthruthnir spake:
17. “Speak forth now, Gagnrath, | if there from the floor
Thou wouldst thy wisdom make known:
What name has the field | where in fight shall meet
Surt and the gracious gods?”
Othin spake:
18. “Vigrith is the field | where in fight shall meet
Surt and the gracious gods;
A hundred miles | each way does it measure.
And so are its boundaries set.”
Vafþrúðnismál 17-18, Bellows’ translation[1]
