Dark Age Of Camelot: Guinevere Midgard Role Playing Guild

The Tale to be Told

The snow stopped falling and the crystallized haze cleared. He picked up a branch to stoke the fire back to life. The light reflected upon his face with mournful glow and his warm breath gave evidence in the frigid night that he was about to answer them. He repeated their hushed questions aloud with a sad but proud chuckle. "What is Ragnarok? Who are the Watchmen of the Bifrost? What God do we serve?". With a stern look he gazed at each in their eyes and then bellowed the tale aloud for all to hear.

"Do you not see what I see; what I and the other Watchmen see? Do you not hear death approaching? As I speak to you in the present, my ancient eyes see the terrible future. One day soon, the mournful cry of Gjallrhorn shall shatter the peace and shake the foundation of the heavens. Skoll will devour the sun and Hati, the moon; plunging us into darkness. Jormungand's fury will shudder the earth and rear up the sea; freeing Fenrir from his binds and freeing Naglfar, Hymir's longship of giants, to sail to the battlefields. Likewise, Loki will take the helm of the ship of the dead and sail it with the fury of all of Hel's minions in tow. Surt and his giants will March from Muspellheim to the Bifrost, scorching the earth with each step. Heimdall's repeated sounding of Gjallrhorn will rally the sons and daughters of the All Father from every corner of the world. Gods, Giants, Trolls, Dwarves, Valykin, Man, Demons, and Elves will ride to the plain of Vigrid and the last battle will be fought.

Thor shall kill Jormungand yet die to its poison. Surt will strike-down Freyr while defenseless. Loki and Heimdall shall dance in gore yet neither shall survive the other. Odin and Fenrir shall fight continuously while mayhem and destruction continue around them. But Fenrir shall finally swallow him whole. Odin's last remaining son, Vidar, shall leap in fury and with bare hands, ripping the wolf's jaws apart. And then, the final act will be Surt's for he will fling fire across the nine worlds burning it all down. Friend and foe shall burn away and the lands shall sink into the sea.

We are The Watchmen of The Bifrost! We will bear the burden, like Heimdall, of watching for the signs of Ragnarok. We will be there when the horn is sounded. We will be there when the Bifrost crumbles upon the weight of the Giants. We will be there when the Chaos of Gotterdammerung begins and ends. Each of us answers to the bidding of our own Gods and foretelling the tale of what has yet to come until that time."

The air grew crisp in the evening light as his head hung down recalling the details in silence to himself. Most of the group scoffed at him, dismissing the Seer as an insane one. The group stood and left, laughing in the distance. Yet remaining behind, a few stood still, mesmerized by the tale. The Seer looked up to meet their eyes and asked them their purpose without uttering a word. "What say you?"

His answer was met by the few that lingered: "We have dreamed it too."
