A three-year winter will set upon the world before Ragnarok the final battle between the gods, the monsters, and the humans begins. Urd’s Well will become polluted and the World Tree’s leaves will yellow. This will allow Nidhogg to chew through the root that runs through Niflheim. When Mimir stops guarding his well, Yggdrasill’s roots will begin to rot. Nidhogg is the cause of the world’s troubles and misery, the eagle is the world’s high ideals and joy and Ratatosk is the tension between the two. Everything that happens in Yggdrasill is reflected in the human world. If the eagle spoke any negativity toward the great serpent, which happened just as often, Ratatosk would run down Yggdrasill to tell Nidhogg of it. The squirrel Ratatosk runs up the tree to tell the eagle of every curse or insult Nidhogg utters about the eagle. The eagle sits atop the World Tree and has knowledge in many things. Murderers, adulterers, and oath breakers are forced to wade through those rivers.Ī loathing is felt between Nidhogg and a nameless eagle that lived at the very top of Yggdrasill. The hall is made of serpents whose heads blow venom, forming rivers that run the length of the hall. On Nastrond is a great hall of evil whose doors face north. Nastrond is one section of Niflheim where those that did not die heroic deaths go. Nidhogg lies upon Nastrond, the corpse shore. Every day the Norns draw water from Urd’s Well and take sand that lies around it, which they pour over the World Tree to heal it, undoing all of the damage done to it by its inhabitants including Nidhogg. There are four deer, Dainn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr, and Durathror, who eat the leaves and gnaw on the branches of the tree. He is not the only creature that eats away at Yggdrasill. He hopes to chew through the root causing the World Tree to fall and bring about the end of the world. Nidhogg is a monstrous serpent that relentlessly gnaws on the deepest root of Yggdrasill. Above the spring lies the dragon Nidhogg, the dread biter. Hvergelmir, the wellspring of cold and the source of all cold rivers, is located here. The third root leads Niflheim, where Hel rules the Underworld. Mimir’s Well, that contains all the wisdom in the world, is under this root guarded by Mimir. The second root goes to Jotunheim, the land of frost giants and trolls. Urd’s Well, where the Norns live, is under this root. The first root goes to the home of the gods, Asgard, where they go every day to hold court. Its branches extend up into the heavens and it is supported beneath the earth by three roots. N Norse mythology, there is an immense ash tree called Yggdrasill. My second favorite, because it's a handsome sonofagun.Nidhogg is a creature from Norse mythology who chews on the tree Yggdrasill. Given time, it can take down pretty much any ship in the game - no matter how large(unless you've got like 50+ missile launchers point defenses can only do so much). Very fast and long range, but with plenty of firepower. LOKI - advanced battlecruiser (eventually a stealth ship if cloaking makes it into the game) If you want to face these ships as random spawns in bounty mode, check out my mod: I was pretty meticulous in keeping a unified style across all ships, ranging from the Viking starfighter all the way up to the titan, Odin. I built a fleet named after figures in Norse mythology.
