First of all, Norse mythology has a legend[sr]regarding the end of the gods: Ragnarök.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
It was said to be the last battle waged between gods and monsters. This battle would bathe the world in fire and smash the ground down into the sea.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
And by the end of the war, gods, monsters,[sr]and giants would all cease to be.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
You could call it another sort of ending to the Age of Gods. In time, the Norse world began a new age of humans, rather than one of gods.

Yep. If the story of Brynhild and Sigurd and her[sr]death took place after the Christian era began...
|

[k]
|

|

[charaFace B 1]

...that is, if it took place after[sr]the end of the Age of Gods...
|
||
[k]
|

...it would mean that she and the other Valkyries would have been collecting souls for a war that was long over.
|

[k]
|

＠Da Vinci

You've heard of the Valkyries before, right? They were a group of female warriors tasked with collecting the souls of fallen heroes to serve in the final battle.
|

[k]
|

|

[charaFace B 4]

For that matter, even in the world of magecraft, which is all about finding secret truths, opinions are mixed as to when exactly Ragnarök happened.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|

＠Da Vinci
|

The most plausible theory puts it at around 1000 B.C.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
|

＠Da Vinci
|

It says that the eruption of Mt. Katla at that time was actually the fires of Muspelheim rampaging across the earth...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace B 1]
|

...and that in turn kicked off Ragnarök, the chain of events that led to the extinction of the Norse pantheon of gods as well as the giants.

On the other hand, there's nothing in the geological record about a large-scale eruption of Katla taking place prior to A.D. 930.
