At the edge of the cosmos stands Surtr, the fire giant whose sole purpose is to burn the world and bring about Ragnarök. With a sword brighter than the sun, Surtr’s role is not one of malice, but of inevitable destruction—a force that consumes all to make way for a new beginning. From his volcanic origins in Múspell to his final clash with the god of peace, Freyr, Surtr represents the cleansing power of fire and the unforgiving cycle of creation and destruction. Join us as we explore the myth of Surtr, the primordial force who holds the key to the end of the gods and the rebirth of all things. Explore more myths and wonders by visiting godsandmonsters.info.
