A.Sutherland – AncientPages.com – The last confrontation between friends of the gods and their enemies will take place in the field of Vigrid, on the day of Ragnarok.
In Norse myths and legends, Naglfar (Old Norse “nail farer”) is a ship made from dead men’s nails. It is attested in the Poetic Edda, based on earlier traditional sources and compiled in the 13th century, and Snorri’s Prose Edda, written in the 13th century.
The ship sails from the east and is packed with forces of evil and chaos, according to the Poetic Edda.
Naglfar is on its way into the battle against the Aesir gods and will arrive on the shores of Midgard, just in time when the Midgard serpent emerges from the sea.
The captain of the ship is the giant Hrym, who brings with him all the legions of the giants, while Loki takes the helm of the fatal ship full of giants. He steers Naglfar over the stormy and cold northern waters, to Vigrid (Norse: Vígríðr), the plain where the decisive battle will take place.
The gods and Vikings will also make their way to Vigrid.
