Upon a time the world shall be convulsed, and the sir destroyed in Ragnar kk, or the Twilight of the Gods. The growing depravity and strife in the world proclaim the approach of this great event.
Winters rage without any intervening summer, with furious storms, with snows and darkness.
The sun and moon are swallowed by the pursuing J tun-wolves, and heaven is sprinkled with blood. The bright stars vanish, the earth shakes, and the mountains are hurled together with a crash. Then all bonds and chains are broken, and the Fenris-wolf runs loose. The ship Naglf r flies and bears over the sea the Frost-giant's hosts, led on by the J tun Hrym. The loosened Loki also comes at the head of the troops of Hel.
