Step 12 of 12 · The Making of the Worlds
The World
Why this step
The trail ends with a card. On this site The World is drawn as Yggdrasil connecting all nine worlds, root and branch, and it means completion: the whole structure aligned. Its reversed reading is a tree missing one root that looks whole from a distance. That is the site’s modern picture, not the old one; the entries on this trail keep saying the sources never gave one consistent map. Whether the beginning fits together is left with you.
