Step 10 of 12 · Ragnarök and What Comes After

Gimlé

Modern interpretation

Why this step

Gylfaginning says that on the southern edge of heaven is the most beautiful homestead of all, brighter than the sun, called Gimlé, and that it will stand when heaven and earth have passed away, with good and righteous people living there.

From the Lorebook

The brightest hall, which stands when heaven and earth have passed away.
