====How the fuck did it start and why?====

It is said that Odin was the one that had foreseen this event through his empty right eye socket, and beheld three "signs": 

1. The death of Baldur. 

2. [[A Song of Ice and Fire|Three uninterrupted long cold winters.
 without any summer in between]]

3. Two wolves in the sky swallow the sun and the moon, and even the stars disappear and send the world into a great darkness.

It’s also important to note that Odin’s futuresight was a double-edged sword. Once he looked into a future event, that event becomes a fixed point, unable to be changed, [[Grimdark|and these fixed points are all utterly terrible]]. But all the stuff ''around'' that event was still flexible, meaning that Odin was essentially running [[Awesome|a very dangerous con game against ''fate itself'']]. Should he risk another vision, making Rangarok worse, but more able to be planned for, or should he go in as blind as possible, risking a massive amount on chance, but more able to twist what happens after for the better? He chose a middle road, knowing some, but not all, and [[Just_as_planned|made as many contingency plans as possible]].

Frigg had several dreams about Baldur's death, and this depressed her to the point Frigg decided to make ''''everything in the goddamn world''''' take a vow not to hurt her precious sunshine-faced boy - and they all complied, too! All but one...

When Loki got the wind of the spell's weakness - mistletoe, which she already considered soft and harmless - the cunny fuckwit thought it was pretty funny, and made a spear, arrow or dart out of mistletoe using his magic. Since Baldur was immune to every ''other'' object, his brother gods made a sport of hurling whatever they could think to at him for shits and giggles. This gave Loki the perfect impetus to carefully place his magic spear into the hand of Höðr, a god who was blind and killed Baldur with it. Höðr was then blamed for Baldur's death, which Odin avenged by [[/d/|fucking a giantess]] and conceiving a god named Váli, who grew in one day just to kill him. 

The second sign, a winter that lasts three years with no summer in between, has yet to come according to legend. The name of these uninterrupted winters are called “Fimbulwinter”; during these three long years, the world will be plagued by wars, and men will kill their kindred.
