Editing Norse Mythology (section)

====A New Beginning====
Everything looks pretty '''FUCKED UP''', I know - but while most of the Gods will perish in the mutual destruction with the Giants, it is predetermined that a new world will rise up from the water, beautiful and green. Before the battle of Ragnarok, a couple by the name Líf and Lífþrasir (meaning life and lover of life) will find shelter in the sacred tree Yggdrasil. As foretold by the wise Jotunn Vafþrúðnir (Odin's intellectual rival), they consume morning dew as food during the Ragnarok. When the battle is over, they will become the Norse version of Adam and Eve and repopulate the earth again, providing the sole comfort Odin could ever find in his foresight.

The few Gods who survive, as well as the resurrected Baldr and Höðr, will go to Idavollr (the ancient altar and meeting site for the gods), which has remained untouched. There, they build new houses - the greatest of the houses is named Gimli, and bears a roof of gold; it is here that the survivors of Ragnarok and the righteous dead will dwell. There is also a new place called Brimir, at a plain called Okolnir (“never cold”), where those who are good and pure of heart shall dwell. It is in the mountains of Nidafjoll, placing it curiously close to both Hel and the nesting grounds of Nidhogg.

But there is also a terrible place, a great hall on Nastrond, the shore of corpses. All its doors face north to greet the screaming winds. The walls are made of writhing snakes that pour their venom into a river that flows through the hall. Oath-breakers, adulterers, and murderers - considered the worst of criminals in Norse society - are forced to wade through these freezing rivers of snake venom; any unlucky enough to be outside of this hall reside in the spring of Hvergelmir, where Nidhogg harasses and chews upon the bodies of the dishonoured dead for eternity.
