[MR] Ragnarök

[Garth Groff via Atlantia]

Noble Friends, especially Vikings:

A non-Scadian friend sent me a collage-like artwork that reminded me 
very much of Ragnarök, Norse mythology's equivalent of Armageddon. 
Ragnarök is said to be the end of gods and men (along with quite a few 
monsters too). The end time is mentioned in a number of Norse sagas and 
is developed in the poetic Eddas Vafþrúðnismál and Völuspá, as well as 
the prose Edda Gylfaginning  Like all end-of-time stories, the Ragnarök 
is a bummer, with lots of juicy Wagnerian death and destruction. 
Surprisingly, a new and better world arises from the destruction in 
these tales, with the earth repopulated by just men and women who are 
wisely ruled by the surviving Gods.

Apparently the news media and the web spread a story that Ragnarök was 
scheduled for 22 February 2014. Drat! I missed all the fun.
