In Norse mythology, it was believed that there would come a time whereby the gods of the world and their creations would be destroyed. Preceding this day of destruction, Earth would be subjected to various forms of catastrophes. The first of these catastrophes would be a triple winter with no summers. After which, the world would fall into barbarism and war. The sun and moon would be swallowed up, and the world would be left in darkness and despair.

Heimdall would sound his horn, signalling the start of the battle between the gods with their fallen warriors, and evils of the world. Odin would be slain by the wolf Fenrir. Eventually, the rest of the gods and evils would fall.

After the destruction of the earth, a new heaven and earth will emerge, and the new world would be one of eternal bliss and abundance.
