Let's talk about Ragnarök. Finally. The end of the world in Norse Mythology: The Endgame of the Norse Gods. Everybody features here, Thor, Odin, Heimdall... but none more than Loki, who really is the centerpiece of Ragnarök. Some see Loki as this evil guy who is responsible for ending it all, but if Loki is a monster, then he is only a monster in the same sense that Frankenstein's monster is: A monster nurtured by its circumstances, and in this case... those circumstance are just one man's actions: Odin's actions. Odin built the 'evil' Loki we know, it was the All Father who turned Ragnarök into a self-fulfilling prophecy, but... I'm getting ahead of myself. You'll hear all about that and more in the video Who fights who during Ragnarök? How does Loki assemble his army? Why does Loki even do what he does? I explain it all in this final episode of Keeping Up With The Norse Gods:

Notes:
If you read my notes every video, then you already know that Norse Mythology is a mess, but.. nothing is more of a mess than Ragnarök. You'd think that for the end of the world, it would be more documented, but the issue is... technically Ragnarök hasn't happened yet. All we know about Ragnarök is from visions of what is to come, and that means... boy was it ever hard to spin a coherent story for this one. I did my best though and try to bring Ragnarök to you as if it had happened — from the spark of bad blood between Odin and Loki, to Loki assembling an army around him and his children, all the way to the mighty fire giant Surtur. So... just keep in mind that the ancient texts never take it as far as I do in this video, and that I certainly embellished to fill a lot of gaps in this one. That being said, everything I state is still factually sound and researched — I think you can tell when and where I filled in gaps to weave a story that you can sit back and enjoy.
Get All My Artwork & Support The Channel:
I get a lot of questions about my artwork and where it’s from or rather who draws it. Well the answer is that I create it — I don’t draw it. I use AI to create the artwork, using specific prompts, specific style influences from 18th and 19th century artists, and I spend about 6 hours per video just on the artwork. Each video has roughly double the artwork of what you actually see in the video, so a lot of it is unused. The good news here though is that you can get all that artwork on my Patreon — the artwork I do use, and the artwork I don’t use. Plus, by subscribing to my Patreon you are making a major contribution to Briefed and helping me to keep this channel going, because this is my full time job and the survival of the channel and quality of the videos greatly depends on said support. In return for supporting, you get more than the artwork though — you also get exclusive videos and producer credit, as well as access to a producer group that gets to vote on thumbnails, gets behind the scenes etc.
If you choose to become a Patron — thank you. I do not take it for granted.

Sources:
Usually in this part I talk about my sources, but you can refer to my other descriptions for that — it's always the same text. Today though... I had a thought: I want to write a 'fiction'-inspired by mythology book about Norse Mythology. Think Percy Jackson, but... more mature and more mythologically accurate. A book that tells the tales of the gods akin to Game of Thrones, with several lead characters, and culminates in Ragnarök.
If only I had the time... let's see what happens.
