“ | Vidar was fated to survive the twilight of the gods, known as Ragnarok, and to succeed the Aesir gods after their demise. "Vidar and Vali will be alive, the sea and Surt's fire not having harmed them, and they will dwell on Idavoll, where the Asgard had been previously. And then Thor's sons Modi and Magni will arrive, bringing Mjollnir. After that Baldr and Hodr will arrive from Hel. Then they will all sit down together and talk and discuss their mysteries and speak of things that had happened in former times, of the Midgard Serpent and Fenris Wolf. Then they will find in the grass the golden playing pieces that had once belonged to the Aesir." -- The Prose Edda |
