[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7856812, member: 58172"] Yeah, Ragnarǫk feels morally ambiguous. Tragic, but possibly even a good thing with regard to the fate of humans. Baldr resurrects. In the absence of Þórr and Óðinn, Baldr becomes the new ruler of the æsir. At least arguably, this is a better outcome for humans. Moreover, with Baldr there will be harmony with the jǫtnar and dvergar. Notably, where Baldr is daylight hours and Hoðr is nightdark hours, both resurrect in harmony. Norse traditions seem to view Þórr as a necessary transition era of violence. But after Ragnarǫk there will be an era of peace and leisure. So if Loki almost single-handedly brings about Ragnarǫk, it is possibly even a good thing. Tho note, Loki too gets killed off during Ragnarǫk, killed by Heimdallr, thus also seems part of the imperfect, violent, transitional phase. So it may well be, Loki is chaotic evil, and simply part of a larger tapestry of fate. Even so, ragnarǫk is ultimately good. [/QUOTE]
