Hlidskjalf

The Hlidskjalf is the personal throne of the ruler of Asgard.
== History ==
=== Aborted Coronation ===
As his sons Thor and Loki had grown into accomplished adults, Odin decided to resign from his position as King of Asgard and to leave the Hlidskjalf to his firstborn son Thor, trusting him with the mighty hammer Mjølnir. A sumptuous ceremony was held in the Royal Palace. However, it was interrupted when Frost Giants, brought by Loki in an attempt to fool and eradicate them, broke into the Palace through Odin's Vault and tried to seize the Casket of Ancient Winters. However, they were defeated by the Destroyer.
=== War with the Frost Giants ===
: "The burden of the throne has fallen to me now"
: ―Loki[src]
During the Attack on Jotunheim, Loki discovered his true nature as a Frost Giant. He confronted Odin about this in Odin's Vault, where Loki's anger and Odin's exhaustion drove the latter into the Odinsleep. As Thor had been cast out of Asgard for his unworthy behavior, Loki took over the Hlidskjalf and the Royal Palace of Valaskjalf as the acting King of Asgard. However, Loki would eventually be defeated by Thor and seemingly killed, enabling the revived Odin to claim the Hlidskjalf once again
