Step 7 of 12 · Ragnarök and What Comes After
Náströnd
Why this step
Gylfaginning lists Náströnd among the dwellings after Ragnarök: a vast hall made of serpents’ backs wattled together like wickerwork, with venom flowing in. Völuspá has a seeress see it standing far from the sun, its doors turned north, with murderers and oath-breakers wading there. The entry notes that Snorri turns her vision into a fate. What outlasts the end, in these accounts, includes a reckoning for harm done.
From the Lorebook
A hall far from the sun, woven of serpents’ backs.
