Als Heimdall in sein Horn bläst, um den Beginn von Ragnarök anzukündigen, bleibt den Göttern Asgards keine andere Wahl, als sich den Mächten des Chaos auf dem Schlachtfeld Vigrid zu stellen. Dies ist der Tag, an dem Loki und seine monströsen Söhne, Jörmungandr, die Weltenschlange, und Fenrir, der Riesenwolf, Rache üben werden, eine Mission, die ihnen gelingen wird, auch wenn sie dafür ihr Leben lassen müssen. An diesem Tag werden alle, auch die mächtigsten Götter, Blut auf dem Schlachtfeld vergießen. Die ganze Welt wird untergehen und eine Leere zurücklassen, in der sich das Leben von neuem entfalten kann.
