History
Little is known of the fire-giant Surtr. His origins are shrouded as by a haze of forge-smoke, his secrets mingled with the ashes of his fiery home. Even Odin the All-Wise cannot see the spark that started Surtr’s fire. But he knows the giant’s end...for it is the end of the gods, and of mankind, as well. Surtr is the very embodiment of the fire that will burn the old world to ash, so that a new one might rise in its place. It is said that when mighty Surtr moves from his post on the frontiers of Muspell, the heavens shall break apart, the earth shall burn and warriors will tread the path from Hel. Carrying his bright sword, he will lead the sons of Muspell into battle with the Norse gods – a battle which will end with Surtr’s flames engulfing the world. read more
