Several gods and beings survived Ragnarök, the Norse apocalypse.
Here's a breakdown of the survivors:
-
Gods:
- Vidar: Son of Odin, destined to avenge his father's death.
- Vali: Another son of Odin, who survives Ragnarök.
- Magni: Son of Thor, inherits his father's strength and Mjolnir.
- Modi: Another son of Thor, also survives.
- Hoenir: A somewhat enigmatic god who played a role in the creation of the first humans.
- Njord: God of the sea, wind, fishing, wealth, and crop fertility. Returns to Vanaheim.
-
Other Beings:
- The Daughter of Sol (Sun): She takes her mother's place in guiding the sun across the sky, ensuring the cycle of day and night continues.
After Ragnarök, these surviving gods reunite at Ithavollr, where Asgard once stood, and begin to rebuild the world. Some accounts also suggest that Baldr returns from Hel after Ragnarök to help rebuild the new world.
