After the three winters -- the bitter Winter of Winds, the fearsome Winter of Wolves and the bloody Winter of Swords -- the cocks Fjalar and Gullinkambi will crow, announcing Ragnarok, the Final Battle, where the gods themselves will die fighting the forces of evil. All of the nine worlds, gods, mortals and giants will be destroyed by the fighting. But hope does not die with the nine worlds, for a new world of peace will be born out of the ashes of the old. It is for this world that the gods and heroes fight.
