Fate at stake

"Here you’ll get the Völva’s prophecy about the end of the world. It’s more fun than it sounds."
From the sorceress's lips to the end of the world
1.
Behind every powerful Viking stood an even more powerful sorceress
Mysterious and powerful. Feared and fascinating. The sorceress was many things, but above all, she was a source of answers.
The sorceress mastered the art of magic, and used it to peer into the future. That is why the mighty gods and powerful vikings sought her out to understand the world around them and their own destiny.

Do you dare to follow the thread of your life?
Beneath the roots of Yggdrasil live the sisters Past, Present, and Future. They are the Norns, goddesses of fate. They spin the red threads of life for every living person – for you as well.
The Norns are both fortuitous and merciless. Some threads they spin strong and stretched out over many years, while others are thin, frayed, and short.

New discoveries tell us more about the Viking Age
The prophecy of the sorceress takes you through great stories, sensous experiences, and new scientific discoveries.
