Gimlé is the ultimate sanctuary in Norse mythology, a golden hall that remains untouched by the fires of Ragnarök. Located in the highest heavens, it serves as the eternal home for the righteous and the survivors of the cosmic cataclysm. It represents the hope of renewal and the continuation of life in a purified, new world.
Following the cataclysmic events of Ragnarök, the world resurfaces from the sea, lush and new. Amidst the ruins of the old world, Thor’s sons Magni and Modi reunite on the plain of Idavoll. There, they discover their father’s hammer, Mjölnir, which they inherit as the new protectors of the divine realm and the emerging human race.
